Dangerous?

I had an interesting situation about 45 minutes ago.

Some of you may remember the house we just bought the previous owner killed his wife and two children and then he was killed.

This guys father also killed his first wife by strangling her, so this family has a violent past.

The father came by on Mothers Day of this year right after we moved in and asked my husband if he could come in and see the house. As we had not been in hardly any time and still had a lot of unpacking to do, we say no not at this time.

In the meantime, my neighbor told us his history and told us do NOT have anything to do with this man. He is probably 80 years old now.

Well today while I'm home alone and my neighbor is gone, he came and opened the screen door and tried to open the door. I thought it was my husband coming home early and was having trouble getting the door open.

As I was heading to the door he knocked and I went to the door and asked what did they want. He told me who he was and that he wanted to see the inside of the house one more time. I told him he would have to come back after 7 and talk to my husband about it. He then said he had a picture he wanted to give me. When I didn't offer to open the door he said he would stick it in the door. I heard him sticking the picture in the door and I walked away from the door.

Later when I figured my husband was out of his meeting I called him and while he was on the phone I checked and didn't see his car or him and opened the door to get the picture out. It was a picture of a car with a realtor's sign in a yard. Now why would he want me to have that picture? I think he was just trying to get me to open the door.

What would you do? Would you let him see the house, or tell him that chapter his life is over? If we say no will he get mad and violent?

I have never had to deal with this kind of person before.

Esther, i wouldnt let him near me or my family and I just might get a restraining order based on his violent past.

That is what my neighbor told me to do.

Plus the 7 year old girl that was in the house during the trama has had to put a restraining order against him. I thought that was odd.

I agree. I wouldn't either. And I sure wouldn't let him in my house.

Scary, when we bought our first home in Calif we learned real fast to always make sure about the history before you buy.

I'd call your local sheriff talk with them, maybe he could come out. When I was 16 we drove to Chico Cailf to see were my dad was raised as a kid, the lady let us come in, but we didn't have a past. My dad wanted to show us kids.

Maybe he wants closer to his past, being 80 and all. The pic might been proof he once lived there, why he left it. But I'd call your sheriff get advice!
