Hugo's house is sold

Who would want it? I guess if you live in New Jersey next to oil refineries and toxic waste dumps a few bodies in the back yard is no big deal.

WNEP: The home where accused murder Hugo Selenski lived sold Thursday morning at auction.
The place in Luzerne County went to a New Jersey couple for $160,000. The home comes with a notorious past. It was the backyard of the home near Dallas where the remains of five people turned up three years ago. Selenski lived there with his former girlfriend.
The government seized the property during the probe "because of its connection to illegal activity," according to Luzerne County District Attorney Dave Lupas.
Selenski has a new address. He is in prison on murder charges.


The DA that couldn't get a conviction is upset about all the attention.

TL: “Rather than just glorifying that this was the property that Mr. Selenski lived in and making light of what may be unearthed or uncovered in the back yard. … Dead murdered, human beings were dug up from that property. That’s fact,” District Attorney David Lupas said. “People need to know that.”

Lupas is unsure if his office will get a slice of the proceeds.

man, the DA is such a whiner! i think he's jealous that Hugo gets all the girls and gets more attention than him. and also, hugo wasn't convicted the first time so of course lupas is bitter about that. what an adolescent!!!

So do the new owners hold title to any human remains they come across while digging a garden or installing a swimming pool?

One would either have to be very dumb or very brave to buy and live in that house. Suppose Selenski bolts jail again--or is found innocent (again)--or just serves his time; eventually, if there is money buried there--he'll be at the door.

There's already a pool on the property.
