They hadn’t seen Lisa or her kids in two weeks since they didn’t smell anything or hear any sounds. “[The police] said they’d be back in a few days,” a neighbor said.
She was attempting to get a court order to have the door smashed in, according to one of the social workers. Additionally, neighbors reported hearing “screaming” from the unit for days.
Police informed Hubert that they think Lisa, who had asthma, may have died of cardiac arrest, leaving Nazir to tragically starve to death, and that neither corpse showed any evidence of violence.
Promise was taken to a nearby hospital in a stable condition after it is thought that she survived by eating chocolate that she discovered inside the house.
Hubert lamented Nazir, who was “so small,” and is now caring for Promise at his Bronx home. I grasped him in my hand.
