The Prospect Heights hoarder/squalor incident now has a family attached to it… STARR posts on the Prospect Heights Message Board:
“Hi Everyone … My family and I are upstanding citizens, almost all, except my Uncle (which you now all know), from CT. We JUST and I mean JUST found out about this incident. I wanted to personally apologize for my family and for my Uncle… He is a very intelligent man, went to Trinity College with a full ride, is FLUENT in 7 different languages, used to be a buyer for one of the most prestigous Riding Stores for horse in NY with clients like Jackie O…. I am so sorry to hear about the dog that died. My Uncle actually adores animals. … I hope the dogs are alright. I hope your neighborhood can resume some semblance of normalcy as can my poor Uncle. We love him, as you would love your family members with any and all flaws. We are trying to get him the help he needs. We literally just found this out yesterday…”
