Random Famous Crime Scenes and What They Look Like Today (10 items)

(#1) JonBenét Ramsey's Basement Is Now A Playroom

On December 26, 1996, 6-year-old child beauty pageant star JonBenét Ramsey was found strangled in the basement of her Boulder, CO, home in what remains one of the most famous unsolved mysteries to date. Two years after their daughter's highly publicized passing, the Ramseys (who were exonerated in 2008) sold the 11,000-square-foot home to an investor for $650,000.

In 2004, Carol Schuller Milner, daughter of famed televangelist Robert Schuller, and her husband Tim bought the Ramsey home for $1 million. They completely remodeled the inside - including gutting the basement where JonBenét's was found - and turned the area into a family room for their five kids. They have periodically put the home back on the market, and in 2014, listed the property for $1.98 million.
(#4) Dr. H.H. Holmes's Chicago Hotel Is Now a US Post Office

H.H. Holmes frequently claims the title of "America's first serial killer," and with good reason. After moving to Chicago in the late 1880s, Holmes built what became known as his "Murder Castle" at 63rd and Wallace streets. There, he invited guests to spend the night, mostly young women touring the "White City" for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. Many of the women mysteriously went missing shortly after their stays.

When police investigated Holmes's hotel, they discovered a nightmarish labyrinthine. Two weeks later, a man named A.M. Clark purchased the building with the intent to turn Holmes's hotel into a tourist attraction; however, the building caught fire and burned to the ground. The first floor was salvaged and turned into a sign shop and bookstore before changing hands again in 1938 - when it was demolished to make way for the US Post Office that stands there today.
(#3) Jeffrey Dahmer's Apartment Of Horrors Is Now A Vacant Lot

On July 22, 1991, police arrested the now-infamous Jeffrey Dahmer. When they finally searched his Milwaukee apartment - after being flagged down by one of his escaped victims - they found the remains of 11 inside, including acid-soaked torsos, boxes of bones, and a fridge packed with three human heads. Dahmer later confessed to slaying 17 people in his North Side residence.

On November 17, 1992, at the behest of his victims' families, workers demolished the 49-unit Oxford Apartments complex on North 25th Street, which has been a vacant lot ever since.
(#5) Lizzie Borden's Parents' House Is Now A Bed & Breakfast

In 1892, the father and stepmother of Lizzie Borden were found hatcheted in their home. While Lizzie was eventually acquitted, her name remains synonymous with the grizzly act. True crime enthusiasts can spend the night in the same rooms where her parents were slain at the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast Museum in Fall River, MA.

In 1996, one Borden aficionado even chose to be married at the site.
(#7) The O.J. Simpson Scene Is Now An Almost $2 Million Home

On the morning of June 13, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and waiter Ron Goldman were found stabbed in the courtyard of her home in Los Angeles's Brentwood neighborhood. Her ex-husband, retired football player and actor O.J. Simpson, was arrested and tried but found not guilty in the "trial of the century." He was later found liable in a civil suit.

The 3,700-square-foot, four-bedroom Brentwood condo sat empty for two years before being sold for $590,000. The new owner extensively remodeled the home and changed the address to 879 S. Bundy Drive. The home changed hands again in 2006, this time being sold for the price of $1.7 million.
(#2) Sharon Tate's House Is Now Owned By The Creator of 'Full House'

The Tate house has a history almost as strange as the offenses committed there. On August 9, 1969, actress Sharon Tate and four other people were killed by the Manson family in her rented Benedict Canyon home located at 10050 Cielo Drive in Los Angeles, CA. The house's owner, Rudolph Altobelli, a music and film talent manager, moved in three weeks after the offenses and lived there for 20 years.

In 1992, musician Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails rented the house and set up a recording studio for NIN's album The Downward Spiral. In 1994, the owner demolished the original house and built a new home called Villa Bella, with a new street address: 10066 Cielo Drive. Then Hollywood producer Jeff Franklin purchased the house; Franklin is best known as the creator of Full House.
