CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In a neighborhood where almost everyone knows everyone else, no one really knew the two sisters from the island of Grenada who lived and died together in the house on Thelma Lane.
"I would see one of the ladies mowing her lawn from time to time," said Imani York, who lives two doors down.
York never knew that lady was Laura Snell, 47, and that she was taking care of her mentally disabled sister, Victoria, 46.
York said she had not seen either sister for months and that neighbors began to wonder what was wrong. But it wasn't until John Snell came to check on his sisters Monday night that anyone knew they had died.
Snell called police after he unlocked the door and sensed that something was wrong.
Officers found the two women dead in the home but say they did not find any signs of foul play or obvious cause of death.
They tested for carbon monoxide but say there was none. They are not ruling that out, however, until they get autopsy results.
John Snell said Tuesday afternoon that he did not have any more information and will wait until the autopsy results are in before commenting further.
