Answer

Why did the death in Santa Catalina go unnoticed for so long?

Police are still investigating, but the case appears to involve a combination of private isolation, limited day-to-day contact, and a household situation that did not raise immediate alarm. Neighbors later reported an unusual smell and loud music, but by then the body had already been there for some time.
