'Mummified' body found in Arizona home after officers respond to reports of a burglary

A mummified body was found inside an Arizona home while police were investigating a report of a woman burglarizing that very house on Sept. 10.

At around 3:30 a.m., officers from the Bullhead City Police Department in Mohave County were called to a home near 7th Street and Palm Avenue for a possible burglary in progress. Neighbors told police they thought their neighbor moved away because she hasn't been seen in a year.

A woman was found inside a bathtub in a "mummified" condition, officials said.

She was identified in October as 60-year-old Wendy Mica. It's unknown how long she had been dead, but authorities say there appeared to be no foul play involved.

As for the woman who allegedly broke into the home, officers say it wasn't her first time inside as she was reportedly there two days earlier.
