A woman from Chicago was arrested after police found that she hid her 96-year-old mother’s dead body in a freezer behind the apartment complex where they lived. 

The incident happened on Monday, January 30th. 

Police found Regina Michalski’s body in a freezer at around 4:35 p.m. during a welfare check in the area of the 5500 block of West Melrose Street. Eva Bratcher, 69, was held after the finding.

Investigators have not confirmed the length of Regina Michalski’s death. The neighbors claimed that Bratcher had recently provided contradictory information about her mother, including that she was residing in a nursing home in a different state.

A 69-year-old woman from Chicago named Eva Bratcher has been charged after the body of her 96-year-old mother, Regina Michalski, was found inside a freezer at their home. 

The discovery was made after Sabrina Watson, Regina’s granddaughter, called the Chicago Police Department (CPD) to perform a wellness check on her grandmother. 

Watson said she had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right and hadn’t seen her grandmother in years. “It started off with a wellness check and it ended with someone being found in the freezer,” Watson said.

When police arrived at the home in the Cragin neighborhood of Chicago, they found Regina’s body inside a freezer. 

Building residents believe their landlord, Bratcher, may have placed the body in the freezer and that trash had been piling up for some time, giving them a sense that something was amiss.

Hector Yanez, a tenant of the building, said Bratcher had been living in the first-floor unit with her mother for years and was arrested by police after the body was found. 

Yanez also mentioned that the building owner had been telling residents different stories about her mother’s whereabouts, and nobody had access to the garage where the freezer was found.

The CPD is investigating the incident as a death investigation, and they have not yet confirmed if any foul play was involved. The body was removed from the home on Monday night and taken away for further examination. 

Regina was a Polish immigrant who survived World War II, and her granddaughter described her as remarkable.
