Can you blame them? The house will forever been known as the place where such a horrible and demented crime occurred, and on each anniversary of those students’ death, it would be highlighted once again. Maybe in a few years, another house can be built on the property, but the place will still draw attention from the crazies that are obsessed with crime stories.
It’s a shame that the property owner is going to have to take such a financial loss on rental property, that I’m sure was always rented out in advance, since it seemed to be the perfect type of college housing rental. I do not know if insurance will pay off for such as this, but the owner actually had very few options.
The plot should be used to build some kind of memorial, not another house.
