Not that anyone has bought the latter home yet.

If you're talking about the development in Trappe, my husband and I lived in the house that the woman was murdered in for two years with no incidents, except for the fact that the local paper kept printing our address when they covered the ex-boyfriends' trial. The neighbors were a little freaked out when another young couple moved in, though. And Fox news issued a retraction and an apology for reporting that the woman blew up her own house - all evidence points to the fact that it was a double homicide, not a murder-suicide. All in all, it was a weird coincidence that there were only three murders in Trappe in the past 5 years or so - and all of them happened in the same neighborhood.
