This is part 2 of a 1/2 hour program that I edited back in November of 2009.
What started with a phone call to the Problem Solvers soon exploded into a story that garnered international media coverage.
You first met 87-year-old Marabel Chanin in August of 2008; she was the last one -- desperate and alone -- in her section of Robinwood Street, arguably Detroit's worst nook. She died there alone soon-after, and for months lay bagged in the Wayne County Morgue. There she was joined with dozens of other bodies stalled at death's door -- waiting to be claimed and buried.
The response that followed was unmatched -- money was raised for funerals, families discovered long lost loved ones at the morgue and now there's resolution in a solution.
FOX 2's Brad Edwards got that first voice mail from Marabel, befriended her, lost, found and now discovers her back-story. Join us for a never before seen look at life and death in the 'D' and the change exacted by Marabel's cry.
