If a high profile murder took place in your neighborhood , are you staying or are you moving?

[Anonymous]

In the neighborhood I grew up in - a suburb similar to Arlington or Bethesda - two high school boys planned to kill a girl a little older than them because they wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone. After killing her, the boys went to her house to kill her parents and sibling. It was such a tragedy, made worse because everyone involved was from the same neighborhood. The house didn't go on the market for several years, and then just sat once listed.

My grandpa died at home (heart attack) in the master suite. I wonder if anyone who purchased knew.

Most every house over 20 years old has had a death or near death in them. Heck many newish ones have.
My cousin has a house that is over 250 years old. Just imagine the ghosts in it.
I tease her, and she's kinda superstitious and swears she hears odd things sometimes or senses a cold presence occasionally.

It’s ROUTINE murders that make you want to leave a neighborhood.

Take your sensible attitude somewhere else.

I assume this was autocorrect, but the visual image gave me a good chuckle!

Literally a lifelong resident of Chevy Chase and can’t think of any “high profile murders” that happened here.

This happened in my neighborhood. Not moving. Probably one of the safest areas in the whole DC area.

Staying. I love my home.

Hell I'd even stay if I was murdered in my home. I'm staying FOREVER.

Age 8 ex wife came to drop off son and his dog and ex wife said she could no longer manage son and did not want visitation.

Boyfriend was a single Dad from that point on. Boyfriend said his son was an extremely difficult child with a lot of rage and mostly non verbal. Son has a job now. He lives on his own. His employer likes him.

So who died here? Ex wife? Single dad?

Son is living on his own in prison, or...

I would stay and immediately commission a ghost writer to churn out a book on the topic. And then become a host of an "insider tour" and give my hot takes to the murder tourists.

If I committed the murder I would likely move. Rough to be at the block party afterwards.

Like Robert Graves does for the property of Serial Killer Herb Baumeister. He wrote a book, gives interviews, tours, etc.
