Findings include: Observation of the kitchen on 08/14/25 at 9:35 A.M. revealed the freezer temperature was 12 degrees Fahrenheit on the outside thermometer and 9 degrees Fahrenheit on the inside thermometer.
Further observations revealed the freezer had built-up chunks of ice on the floor with pieces of pasta embedded in the ice and a chunk of hair stuck to the ice on the floor.
The walk-in refrigerator, when opened, had a strong mildew odor and an unknown black substance along the entire length of the side and back walls. A pool of water had accumulated in the glass surrounding the lightbulb, which was slowly dripping onto the floor, causing the floor to be wet and the refrigerator felt very humid.
