Nobody had seen or heard from Kevin Olson, 64, since October of 2018, and it wasn’t until August of 2002 that his friends and family became fed up with the myriad of excuses given by his roommate, Darren Pirtle, 57, for his absence and decided to take matters into their own hands. According to ABC 10, Pirtle was handed a search warrant, and after a thorough examination of his house, they found Olson’s body in a back bedroom in a mature state of decomposition.
ABC 10 reports that Olson likely died near the end of 2018 — right around the time his relatives lost contact with him. Imagine living with a dead body stored in your house for years. One can imagine that it would take a seriously desensitized approach to life to endure such a grisly reality. However, Pirtle didn’t seem to have a problem with it and managed to keep his roommate’s death a secret for a disturbing amount of time.

According to what the District Attorney for Butte County, Mike Ramsey, shared in a statement, Olson’s family members had tried to reach him for years, but Pirtle always put them off with various excuses, according to ABC 10. The only explanation Pirtle didn’t provide was the truth of the matter: that Olson was in fact dead, and his body had been left to decay in a back bedroom of the house for years.
