Idaho killings

I would think that in a smaller town like that the place would be so notorious that it would not matter anyway. I know of a house in Iowa that a murder happened, they tried to sell it for quite a while, no one would buy it. Eventually they tore it down and sold the bare land.
A woman got killed in my wife’s hometown. Raped and then brutually stabbed and slashed. A cop who went in told me it was like a horror movie scene. Her mom went in and cleaned it up and lived in it. It caught unfire a couple years later so it was tore down then.
 
No, you use the radon kits.
I think I saw one of these in aisle 5...

Neither Iowa nor Idaho consider it a law to disclose a property that has been stigmatized due to death or homicide. While I doubt that'll happen here due to the notoriety - the landlord could just continue renting it out as-is without disclosing this history as Idaho doesn't consider them materially adverse.

How does something catch unfire? Like it was on fire and then spontaneously went out?
 
most states you have to disclose hauntings. wouldn't be any different than anything else with a house and trying to sue someone because of not disclosing. You, as the buyer, have to prove without a doubt that the sellers knew and didn't disclose. Its very hard to prove that. Now, with hauntings. If a buyer sued because they didn't disclose the seller could just say they never heard or seen anything. The buyer can't prove that they did. The only way is if a neighbor knew that the seller knew and told the buyer and would speak on their behalf. Again, very hard in any instance let alone something like hauntings. This is why on every real estate contract there is a mediation clause. Easier to mediate than take someone straight to court.

Is this only disclosing to the person you sold to? If you (seller 1) don't disclose to your buyer (buyer 1), then that buyer sells to buyer 2, buyer 2 can't come after seller 1 for not disclosing said haunting (or anything else) to buyer 1, correct? Asking for a friend.
 
I don't quite understand why the property would be devalued as a rental just because a crime happened there. Sounds like a great deal provided you actually get full use of the property.

Because there’s a lot of people that don’t like the idea of sleeping in the same room that a brutal murder occurred?
 
Taken from a "tabloid"....

Kohberger completed his graduate studies in criminal justice this year at DeSales University, in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, where students told The Daily Beast he took classes with Prof. Ramsland, whose courses included “Psychology of Death Investigations.” Ramsland declined to comment when reached by The Daily Beast Friday.

A former classmate at DeSales, who asked not to be named, said they got into a disagreement with Kohberger during an introductory biology class group project. While they didn’t remember the conversation, they recalled Kohberger as “very intelligent” and “well spoken” but “seemingly detached.”

“He was very leveled and somewhat imposing. There wasn’t much emotion displayed by him,” the classmate said, adding that he remembers Kohberger’s “intense stare.”

“He took care with how he spoke,” the person said.

In a since-removed post on Reddit from seven months ago, Kohberger asked ex-cons to participate in a DeSales research project that sought to “understand how emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing a crime.”

The research project, which has since been taken offline, asked participants questions like how they approached their victim or target, how they prepared for the crime, how they traveled to and entered the location of the crime, and “Did you struggle with or fight the victim?”

Northampton Community College in Albrightsville confirmed to The Daily Beast that Kohberger graduated in 2018 as a psychology major. He was also employed as a part-time school security officer by the Pleasant Valley School District for several years until last year.

Nick Mcloughlin, 26, who was friends with Kohberger in high school and vocational school, and had been following the Moscow murders, told The Daily Beast he was floored to see Kohberger had been arrested.

He described Kohberger as a “down to earth” member of his friend group who was overweight when they graduated junior year. But at the start of senior year, Kohberger was “thinner than a rail” and turned “aggressive,” he said. He’d also picked up a new hobby: taking boxing classes.

“He always wanted to fight somebody, he was bullying people. We started cutting him off from our friend group because he was 100 percent a different person,” Mcloughlin said.

Asked what might have contributed to the change that summer, Mcloughlin said, “We have no idea.”
Mcloughlin went on to say that he and Kohberger would spend half the school day at Pleasant Valley High before heading to Monroe County’s vocational school, where they took classes related to heating and air conditioning work. He said Kohberger also took criminal justice courses to potentially become a cop.

Mcloughlin said the friendship ended when Kohberger began putting moves on his girlfriend. “He was, like, reaching out to her, saying, ‘I can get us a bottle and we hang out tonight.’

According to this sounds like a family members DNA is what eventually led to him getting caught:

Authorities identified the suspect with the help of genetic genealogy, source says​

From CNN’s Jean Casarez

The suspect in the murders of four University of Idaho students was identified with the help of genetic genealogy, a source with knowledge of the case tells CNN.

Unknown DNA found in Idaho during the course of the investigation was taken through a DNA public database to find potential matches for family members, the source said. Once potential family matches were found, subsequent investigative work by law enforcement led to the identification of suspect Bryan Kohberger, according to the source.

if they live in Iowa it doesn't matter, dont have to disclose it. If they live in another state that you have to disclose that I wouldn't know the law in that state. But lets get away from the haunting thing. If seller 1 gets water in their basement and they dont disclose it to buyer 1. Buyer 1 lives in the home for 2 years and never gets water in the basement. Buyer 1 doesn't have anything to disclose because they didnt know about the water and didnt have any. They can only disclose what they know. Now, if buyer 2 then gets water. Buyer 2 would have no clue that buyer 1 didnt get water. They would assume they did. so they would probably go after buyer 1. But buyer 2 would have to prove it. I cant imagine that buyer 2 would even think about going after seller 1. If they did, it would be quite impossible to prove that they got water and didnt dislcose unless they can find eyewitnesses that would help them. so buyer 2 would have to prove that buyer 1 didnt get any water and that seller 1 did get water and didnt disclose.
