Officials in the city of Sunrise said they got in touch with the producers of the A&E series, which aims to help compulsive hoarders cut back on their gathered junk, about doing an episode centered on Debra Jean Higgins, 55, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Monday.

Neighbor Mark Sierens, 33, who was granted a restraining order against Higgins in December after she allegedly attacked him with a knife in October, said he has appealed to officials on the local, state and national levels to do something about the smell. "It's like a mist that comes off the house," Sierens said of the odor.
