Top 10 Most Expensive Houses Where Crimes Took PlaceBy Gary C. King
Editor: Rachel Frank  Murder and other crimes, like so many things in life, are no strangers to the rich and famous. In fact, as you will see, many a tragedy has played out behind the walls of luxurious and exclusive homes that belonged to the rich and glamorous. From the homes of movie stars and misguided cultists to a record producer and a fashion designer, we'll look at ten posh pads where crimes occurred and the people involved in them. 10: Nicole Brown Simpson's Condo Nicole Brown Simpson loved her condominium at 875 S. Bundy Drive in Los Angeles, just outside Beverly Hills in the posh Brentwood area of the city, according to her sister, Denise Brown. The 3,700-square-foot (344-square-meter) condo was just the right size for her. It was valued at nearly $1 million before Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found stabbed to death there late on Sunday evening, June 12, 1994, after a disturbed Akita led concerned neighbors back to Simpson's condo. Simpson was found dead with her throat slashed, lying in a pool of blood outside on the sidewalk. Goldman, named as her friend, was also brutally stabbed to death. Simpson's husband, O.J. Simpson, was named as the prime suspect in the case and arrested on June 17, 1994, at his nearby $5 million Tudor-style mansion. O.J. was charged with their murders and eventually acquitted in a case that became known as an American tragedy and the Trial of the Century. Interestingly, the condo on Bundy Drive sat on the market for about two years following the gruesome slayings before being sold for less than $600,000, $200,000 less than what was being asked for it at the time. However, in 2006, after the address had been changed, the four-bedroom condominium unit was sold for nearly $1.7 million. The new owner of O.J. Simpson's mansion brought in bulldozers and leveled the home. |
