Fourth Clue: corner of Glen Road _______
Third Clue: Tochisako _______
Second Clue: Ocean City _______
First Clue: illegal alien _______
Following is the primary clue for Mystery Location No. 10:
When police drove into the upper crust neighborhood that warm summer night and parked in the driveway of the Tudor-style home, they had no inkling of the horror that lay inside. The nauseating smell of death permeated the spacious home and officers soon discovered the bludgeoned body of the homeowner on the floor of the basement bathroom and that of a 30-year-old handyman in a nearby bedroom. Upstairs, in three separate closets, were the corpses of three sisters, ages 22, 19 and 15. The mother of the girls and her son weren’t home the day of the carnage and continued to live in the dwelling where their family members were brutally murdered. Each day, a new clue will be posted until someone names the location, providing the street address, city and state (or province/country if located outside the US) and an explanation as to how each clue applies to the location. If no one correctly names the location, the contest will end at midnight (Eastern time), Saturday, July 30, 2016. Please note, the contest ends at midnight in the Eastern Time Zone. If you live in a different time zone, please make adjustments so you will know what time it ends where you are.
You may discuss the location with other members by posting your comments using the "reply" option, but please do not attempt to name the location until you are absolutely certain of your answer and able to post the street address, city, state, etc., along with a photo, or link to a photo, of the Location.
For those of you who remember our old Mystery Locations contest, the point system has changed. Now, if you name the location on the first day, i.e., Sunday, before midnight (ET), you will receive 7 points. Thereafter, the points will depend on the day you name the Location as indicated below. (Again, please note, each day ends at midnight in the Eastern Time Zone, so if you live, for example, in Mississippi, and you name the location at 11:30 p.m., Wednesday, you will receive 3 points because 11:30 p.m. in Mississippi is 12:30 a.m. Eastern Time.)
Sunday - 7 points Monday - 6 points Tuesday - 5 points Wednesday - 4 points Thursday - 3 points Friday - 2 points Saturday - 1 point
If you wish, you may collaborate with another member and if the two of you win, points will be divided between the two of you.
This contest is meant to be fun, so, as before, we ask that you conduct yourself accordingly. To prevent any accusations of favoritism, Joanna has been advised of the name and address of the Location and will not be participating in this week's contest.
If you have any questions or comments, please reply.

Unless this happened in some foreign country, it should be easy. The murders of four members of a family in an upper crust neighborhood would have made national news.

If it's easy to find, that probably means that she knows there's going to be a big problem finding some of the required information, just like it was with No. 4, where no one could find the address.

I've found the name of the family and I know where it happened. All I need now is the street address.

I found the name of the family and where it happened within minutes after I read the Primary Clue, so the rest of the clues she posts are unnecessary. Catherine's right; she knew we were all going to have a problem finding the address.

I even know the street, but cannot find the house number. Me either. The street is listed in several articles, but not the house number. I have a feeling that this one is going to be a repeat of No. 4.

I went on Google Earth and scrolled through the street view looking for a house that matches the description. I am not finding one that matches it completely. They could have changed the color of the house since this happened. I can't even find a photo of the house anywhere, or else I might be able to match it.

Were you able to figure out where Tochisako fit in? I haven't. Maybe it's a Japanese restaurant across the street, or something like that.

No I haven't figured that one out yet. All I can find for Tochisako is a businessman in foreign exchange. I can't find anyway that relates.

I'm not any good at puzzles, but I googled Tochisako and the name of the street and there's a family by that name living on the street. I don't know if they live in the house where it happened, or if they're a neighbor. I don't want to guess because if I guess wrong, that would ruin it for everybody.
