How many buyers that you know would live in a house that a MURDER was committed in? Actually, it is manslaughter, but this was arrived at via a plea bargain. The fact is a Husband ended his wife's life on the property, had her buried there and eventually dug her body up and re-buried it in a subdivision.
Wow! That guy ruined the value of his house and likely made a disclosure for the developer of the subdivision, but I digress...
The question is, "What would you tell your buyer?" Of Course you have to disclose this, but if they asked you if you'd live in the house, what would you say?
Here's the account of the murder from our local newspaper:

And here's the house:

Also, I'd love to hear some suggestions for "Cleansing the house."

Looks kinda creepy...
