(#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.
(#10) The Site Of The Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping Is Now A Juvenile Rehab Center

On March 1, 1932, the baby of beloved American aviator Charles Lindbergh went missing from his home in Hopewell, NJ. The police determined that the assailant, Richard Bruno Hauptmann, snatched Charles Jr. from his nursery through a second-story window, leaving behind a ladder and a ransom note. Despite the ransom payment, little Charlie's body was discovered 72 days later.

The kidnapping became the "crime of the century" with unprecedented news coverage that swept the nation. Charles and his wife Anne then deeded their home, High Fields, to the state of New Jersey; it now serves as the Albert Elias Residential Group Center, a state residential facility for delinquent boys.
(#6) The Site Of The Black Dahlia Is Now Someone's Front Lawn

On the morning of January 15, 1947, a passer-by discovered the naked and mutilated body of 22-year-old aspiring actress Elizabeth Short. The discovery took place in a vacant lot near Leimert Park in Los Angeles, CA. "The Black Dahlia" remains one of the oldest unsolved cases in Los Angeles history.

At 3825 South Norton Avenue, instead of the gruesome scene, passers-by will now find the well-kept front yard of a beige house.
(#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.
(#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.
(#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.
