Stories Related to Wells Woman Found More Than 2 Years After She Died Left Little Footprint

Philip Rothman, a composer in New York City, read online the strange story of Lucie McNulty, whose body lay undiscovered in her Wells home for more than two years after she died. It brought back fuzzy memories of a middle school music teacher he hadn’t thought about in decades. “I remember her being a strict but enthusiastic teacher who achieved good results,” Rothman said Thursday, adding that he went on to a career in music in large part because of the music program at the Williamsville public schools in suburban Buffalo, New York, where McNulty taught. Rothman said he and other former students of McNulty discussed her death on social media after the story broke.
