(153 posts)65. I had to Google these.
8213 West Summerdale Avenue. Cook County, IL. (John Wayne Gacy)
Apartment 213, 924 North 25th Street, Milwaukee (Jeffery Dahmer)
The morbid side of me is curious about what became of these residences after the crimes.
Were they shuttered, razed or left abandoned for years?
Were they sold or rented out?
I can't imagine who in their right mind would knowingly want to live there (I believe some states have laws that a realtor does not have to disclose certain aspects regarding the prior history of a dwelling unless asked).
