Despite authorities allegedly checking the house several times, Missing Richard Maedge was Found Dead in his house earlier this month who went missing in April.
According to The Belleville News-Democrat, Richard Maedge’s wife found his body on December 11 while looking for holiday decorations in a storage space at their Troy residence. The 53-year-old Maedge’s body was hidden behind clothing in a crammed closet, under a stairwell, and in a storage area with a door.
Maedge’s sister informed the Belleville News-Democrat that on April 27, when his wife reported him missing, police were the first to arrive at the house. They allegedly returned there after Maedge’s sister smelled something fishy.
The smell, according to Maedge’s wife, was “never overbearing,” she told the news source. According to reports, the wife initially blamed the smell on her freezer failing, and a plumber who characterized it as an “ammonia smell” suggested it might be related to her sewer. Maedge’s wife said, “He had killed himself.”
Troy Police chief Reports:
The Troy police chief, Brent Shownes, and two detectives reportedly told Maedge’s brother-in-law that the house had been searched three times, according to the Times-Tribune. The brother-in-law said, however, that Maedge’s wife asserted she was informed that detectives never entered her home and patrol officers carried out the search.
The Belleville News-Democrat was informed by Maedge’s sister that she and Maedge were at odds over custody of their dementia-stricken father. August saw their father’s passing.
The results of the autopsy, according to chief deputy coroner Kelly Rogers, are still waiting. We’re still awaiting the findings of (toxicology and other tests),” he said. Without having all the information in front of us, “it would be premature for us to assign a cause of death,”
