I can only assume someone who has the ability to completely give exactly zero F's about the story.

Similar story happened with the Gonzales house here in Sydney a few years ago. Nutshell: The son Sef Gonzalez, for reasoning I can't remember, murders his family at home one night. Calls the cops, says they were attacked by intruders. Story doesn't wash, eventually turned out it was him.

So, what happens to a not-old, 2 storey house in a nice part of Sydney? It was put up for sale, and a Buddhist couple bought it. The Real Estate agency didn't think it necessary to do an "oh, by the way..." about it's history; the couple found out about it in the papers after signing the sale, and then refused to refund the couple. A heap of bad PR forced the Agency to refund and cancel the contract, and got fined pretty stiffly.

Then, someone else bought the house knowing the history, for about $700k or so.

Edit: Got lost in storytime, nice photo by the way!
