Joyce Ceravolo said her husband, Dominick Ceravolo, rents the house to a woman named Madeline Brisson.

Ceravolo said her husband went to the house Friday and Saturday and knocked on the door because Brisson was behind on her rent. She said she heard Brisson recently lost her job. She did not know where she worked.

"My husband went there on Friday and knocked on her door and got no answer," said Ceravolo. "He went there on Saturday and a guy answered the door and he said that she went away for a couple of days."

Ceravolo said her husband did not know the man.

Town police, along with a state police Major Crime Squad van and a Norwich police crime van, were at the scene this morning.

The house is next to Mr. Mulch Landscaping Services and Bob's Auto.

Ceravolo also noted that her son on Friday saw Brisson's chocolate Labrador running loose in the yard, which was rare because the dog was always with Brisson.

"I never met her," said Ceravolo. "She paid her rent on time until recently."
