    The fact that that couple is so happy with the house’s history, moved in, had smiling faces while talking about it, and is actually proud to live there is just really unnerving.. I wish they had just torn the place down and had made a memorial for the victims involved.

Most likely, she used one of the people who lived under her roof as an accomplice, because she knew they were vulnerable and would fear ending up as her victims if they refused.

      If a house is more than x amount of years old it can be declared a historical marker and it then takes a vote by city council or possibly the county or state to approve a tear down. Only know this because a drunk man plowed into some historical buildings near a court house in our area. The damage done made the buildings unsafe to the surrounding homes and businesses. Guess it was cheaper to demolish than repair.

    If anyone is curious on to why the house has been deemed “Historical” it’s actually because the case is still on-going and will still provide “historical evidence” to support the case thus why the floors have not been renovated yet as stated at the very beginning of the video. Also In most states a home is deemed “Historical” if it is over 50 years old and must follow certain criteria.

Take for instance any building built on the lip of St. Augustine, FL must have a government official statement saying the only reason a house/building may be bulldozed is if it’s a potential harm to the houses around it.

    She said in one jail/prison interview, that she "didn't give a shit what ANYONE thought of her!!" That just proves how little she cared about herself and the rest of the world!! She was empty and emotionless!!
