Overview
- A new owner who bought the Burlington property at a foreclosure auction found three sets of skeletal remains inside the house, a discovery that occurred on June 14 and prompted a police and medical examiner response.
- Connecticut’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has identified two of the remains as 54-year-old Sally Ann Cash and her adult son Brian Cash, with the identifications publicly reported on June 22–23.
- The third set of remains has not yet been identified and is undergoing DNA testing, and officials have not released a cause or manner of death while the forensic review continues.
- State police say there is no evidence of criminal activity at this time, but the discovery has raised questions about how the foreclosed, ‘‘as-is’’ property was handled before and after the auction.
- Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing filed a court motion challenging the validity of the June 6 auction sale and asking for the buyer’s deposit to be returned, a move that could affect title, the status of the property, and ongoing investigations.
