Boulder home were JonBenet Ramsey was found dead lists for $7M
Colorado house has been for sale off and on for 15 years
The Colorado home where 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was found dead in 1996 has been listed for nearly $7 million, the Denver Post reported.
The 7,500-square-foot home at 749 15th Street in Boulder has been on and off the market for the past 15 years, with the most recent listing in 2014 for $2 million, the outlet reported.
LIV Sotheby’s International Realty has the $6.95 million listing.
The five-bedroom home, which has five bathrooms and sits on a quarter acre, is the site of an enduring and gruesome mystery surrounding the death of JonBenet Ramsey. She was found dead the day after Christmas in 1996 in the basement of the home several hours after her mother, Patsy, called authorities to report her daughter missing. Patsy Ramsey reported that a ransom note was left behind.
Numerous theories behind JonBenet’s death have cropped up through the years, though no charges have ever been filed and the case remains unsolved.
Patsy Ramsey and her husband, John Bennett Ramsey bought the Boulder home in 1991 for $500,000, the Denver post reported. In 1998, the Ramseys sold the home to a group of investors for $650,000, the outlet said.
Tim and Carol Milner purchased the home in 2004 for $1.05 million and have subsequently put it on the market in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2014. The MIlners changed the address — a common sales tactic where macabre events take place at a home — from 755 to 749 15th Street.
Homes where notorious crimes have taken place do make their way to the market from time to time.
In 2011, Charles Buck, who was acquitted of murdering his late wife Leslie, sold his Mystic, Connecticut, home for $415,000, roughly half of its value.
