In one week, it would be 42 days since the post was posted

Golik had told her neighbors that she would be leaving for an indeterminate amount of time.

Wow

Her body remained undisturbed for 42 years until it was discovered in May 2008.

shame if could not have been 2024. but that would have thrown some of the other 24s off.

And the TV was still on (they did pay the bill all these years from what I understood).

Reruns of Gilligan's Island were still playing on the CRT

I'm more amazed at the fact that the TV is still working after being turned on for 42 years.

If it had a physical knob that it turned on with then it's feasible. It wouldn't be getting any stations. I don't think because they're all digital now and they were analog back then

Not sure when Croatia switched to digital, but I think the year they found her was around the time the US had only just switched to digital.
