Mystery Location No. 112: August 5, 2018

Nothing about the house at 5708 S. California Ave. fits the description. It's ugly, doesn't look anything like a house you'd find on a windswept beach, and it's not on a busy four-lane thoroughfare. Besides, both the victims and perpetrators in the Chicago killings were Mexicans.

She isn't the first person to ever post an answer that was wrong. She also hasn't been here long enough to know that Lee probably wouldn't ever post a murder location like the one that she named.

This is 2709 Ferris Road, Wilmington, Delaware. On July 9, 2018, Matthew Edwards, 42, shot his wife, Julie, and their three children, Jacob, 6; Brinley, 4; and Paxton, 3, and then shot himself. They were all found in a second floor bedroom by a boy who was going to spend the night with the family. Jacob was retarded. He had a condition called Williams Syndrome and his mother was active in a Williams Syndrome organization. Over the last few months, Julie had lost a huge amount of weight -- around 90 pounds -- and Matthew wasn't happy about it. He was probably afraid that other men would find her attractive. Matthew had lost his job in Wilmington and was working in North Carolina and not coming home very often. Some people said they seemed like a happy family and last Halloween, they all dressed in Star Wars costumes. Others said that Matthew and Julie were estranged.  

Wilmington is named for the Earl of Wilmington, who was prime minister during the reign of King George II. The population is only 27.9% white and 58% black, which explains why Wilmington is now a "crime-ridden city with high unemployment."

As you can see, the house is a pretty little shingled cottage like you would find on a "windswept beach."
