A locksmith was rekeying a foreclosed property when he fell six to eight feet into the home's basement through an opening in the floor of the house. Source One had foreclosed on the property on October 4, 2012. Source One then conveyed the property to Fannie Mae on November 16, 2012, but the deed was not recorded.
