Ms Theodore moved to St Lucia from the UK over 30 years ago and a neighbour in the community said that she was reported missing by a friend she lives with.
“He came to us and said he had not seen her, so we all went in search of her but did not find her,” the neighbour recalled.
“We all went looking to try to find her as she is always at home. It is not like her not to be seen in this small village. She was friendly and has been living in Morne Sion for many years now.
St Lucia police then went on a search operation and later found her dead in a horrific condition under a bed.
