"They thought about calling 911, but they didn’t because they were scared of the victim’s family.""They put a blanket over the corpse of Mrs. Tukkiapik. They used air spray for the odour. ""[Francesco] stayed six months in the house with his brother and the body of Mrs. Tukkiapik.""They explained to the police that during the week of Sept. 12 [2023] at three different times, people went to see her at the house, but that Frank refused to let them inside the house.""Immediately upon entering, the officers noticed the strong smell of a dead body. The house was a complete mess and was in unsanitary conditions.""Inside the living room, they noticed a human silhouette on the couch underneath a blanket with the feet sticking out. Underneath the blanket, the officers found the corpse of Mrs. Tukkiapik, who was in a mummified state."

The court statement went on to report: "He [Francesco Sansalone] is sorry and he wishes to change things. He says that he is already dead inside, that he died at the same [time] as Tukkiapik". The cause of the woman's death could not be determined by a pathologist; the autopsy failed to show any evidence of fracture or significant traumatic injuries.
The day that Tukkiapik's body was found Nicodemo Sansalone was arrested. His brother Francesco was arrested the following month when he was finally located. May 9 has been set for their sentencing.
