But who contacted Gottlieb? Article doesn't say. So we just presume the obvious that Gottlieb's assistance phoned Gottlieb.
It wouldn't have taken much to write that clearer, especially with multiple proofreadings.
Re-written for clarity (if this is what the Investigative Reporter meant):
[FONT=&]The discovery was made shortly after 11 a.m. Friday. Gottlieb’s assistant called up to the housekeeper, telling her what she had seen. Gottlieb's assistant contacted Gottlieb. Then Gottlieb made a phone call, seeking direction on what to do. The Star could not determine who she called.
NOTE: I inserted "[/FONT]Gottlieb's assistant contacted Gottlieb.[FONT=&]"[/FONT]
You should write for the Star! Lol.
Only the housekeeper and the assistant knew of the bodies, so it seems likely that the assistant called Gottlieb. The question is, who did Gottlieb in turn call?
BTW, AFAIK, the realtor would have likely been the party that suggested and set up the lockbox ....
