When 61-year-old Lola Karabaeva hadn’t been seen in nearly a day, her neighbors went to Pennsylvania police, according to local media.
In the early hours of Sunday, Oct. 13, police learned the 61-year-old woman was missing.
Officers went to search her home days later on Oct. 16, according to Philadelphia police.
They found her body wrapped in plastic inside of a closet, police said, and pronounced her dead at the scene.
“This beautiful, kind and amazing woman was a true friend,” friends wrote in a GoFundMe.
Her husband, 65-year-old Vladimir Lushevskiy, was arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse, according to Philadelphia police.
Additional charges could be filed against the husband following further investigation, police said.
