The house was completely covered with blood as they chased each victim around beating them. It was the type of crime scene that shocked even the most hardened criminal investigators.
I always wondered if anyone would every buy that house after that.

I remember that! So fucked up he did it over an Xbox..
To Kane, I actually looked at a murder house with some friends, so maybe some of these deets might be interesting-
I was helping some friends of mine do a little house hunting last year, one house in our area was being offered at an amazing deal. I sent the listing to my friends who called and set an appointment to look at it. They told me the address the next day and it sounded familliar so I googled it-

Not only did this guy kill his two children in the house, but a freind of ours actually knew the family before all this went down. Their children had been playmates.
We went to look at the house anyway and it was really eerie. It has been almost 2 years since the murders and for the most part the house was untouched. The killer's mother had inherited the property and naturally had issues going inside it. The furniture and most of the personal belongings had been moved, but the house hadn't been professionally cleaned- there was no blood that I could see but there was still fingerprint dust on the walls in the room where the children were killed, and most disturbing in my opinion- there were still personal belongings (photos, notes, kids drawings) and magnets on the fridge.
In Florida it is not manditory to disclose the history of the home. The real estate agent we went with was my friend's agent and not the listing agent, and he had no idea (or so he claimed). He said the only instruction the listing agent gave him was if the mother was there not to bother her with any questions about the home. He may have been truthful since when I showed him a few articles I had printed up about the murders he seemed to get the heebie jeebies worse than us. He also asked me if he could take the print outs home.
Sorry it;s not a more grandious story. Nothing gruesome. My friends decided to pass on the house- even though it was a great deal they had concerns about flipping it (it did eventually sell but for only at just over half of tax appraised value), and our friend who had been friends with them had also said she would never step foot in it. The house itself didn't feel creepy, even the actual murder room, the only thing that really bothered me was seeing the stuff on the fridge- kind of a mix of discomfort and remorse.
