Entering the twilight years of her life, Mary Kantorowski believed that she would end her days in the same Cape Cod-style home in Fairfield, Connecticut, that she had raised her family in since 1953.

Unfortunately, her oldest son had other ideas - and when Mary should have been celebrating her 98th birthday, instead she was being kicked to the curb by Peter Kantorowski, who served her eviction papers on her special day, reported wtnh.com.

Peter, 71, owns the house and has been trying to boot his elderly mother out for the past two months so that he can rent it out, but claims that his actions are out of concern not greed and that he is worried about her well-being.

Madonna Badger Tried To Kill Herself Amid Tragic Christmas Fire


Posted on Jan 26, 2012 @ 05:30PM - 35 comments

By Amber Goodhand - Radar Reporter

The woman who lost her three children and parents in a tragic Christmas fire that destroyed her house has tried to take her own life.

Madonna Badger was hospitalized last week after a family member told the NY Daily News the mother purposely injured herself in an effort to escape the pain of losing her family.

"She is okay... She is out [of the hospital] and somewhere safe. It’s just terrible, nobody could really hold up well under the circumstances," the relative said.

Badger's Connecticut home went up in flames on December 25 after yule log embers were placed unsafely in a bag in the back mud room, taking the lives of her seven-year-old twins Grace and Sarah Badger, Lily Badger, 10, and her parents Lomer and Pauline Johnson.
Badger and her boyfriend Michael Borcina were the only survivors.

Madonna Badger Questioned By Police About Christmas Fire That Killed Her Three Daughters


Posted on Jan 14, 2012 @ 07:11PM - 10 comments

By Radar Staff

Madonna Badger has been questioned extensively by police for the first time since losing her three daughters and her parents in a tragic Christmas fire.

The advertising executive was interviewed on Thursday night, Stamford police sergeant Paul Guzda confirmed although he would not reveal the nature of the conversations.

The inferno in Badger’s Connecticut home took the lives of her seven-year-old twins Grace and Sarah Badger, Lily Badger, 10, and her parents Lomer and Pauline Johnson.

As RadarOnline previous reported, Badger had to be physically restrained as she desperately tried to re-enter the house in the early hours of the fateful day in an effort to save her girls.

Her boyfriend Michael Borcina, who also survived the fire, had told officials that he put Yule log embers in a bag of discarded ash in an entryway which is thought to have been where the inferno started.

Assistant Fire Chief Peter Brown previously told RadarOnline that it is an ongoing investigation but that “the preliminary cause was accidental and that is the way it will be expected to stay.”

Borcina's constructin company was handling renovation work on Badger's recently purchased $1.7 million waterfront home.

Sgt. Guzda says police plan on interviewing Borcina soon too as officials want to find out if the large home had working smoke detectors.

The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection has said that Borcina nor his company had the right paperwork to conduct construction work in the state but did not say if they were going to launch an investigation.

Police have been patient in speaking to Badger while she had some time to grieve and also attend the memorial services for her five family members.

During her eulogy last week she cried in front of the 700-strong congregation, “Why my children? Why my parents?”

She was comforted by Borcina and the children’s father Matthew Badger at the service.
