By 2008 much of the area surrounding the house had become commercially valuable. Marilyn Miller (nee Carlson) and her brother, Owen Carlson. In 2008 Marilyn and her brother decided decided to raze the Canyon Road home and, with the cleared property and adjacent land they owned, construct a small office building on the site.

In order to unravel this complex case, author Gary Leon Zimmer has unearthed the history of the Hesse family. In particular that of Nicholas Notaro, the adopted son of Geraldine Hesse and brother of Renee Curtiss. Nicholas grew up fiercely protective of his mother and sisters, a trait which led him to murder. Early chapters provide this background and lay the foundations for the criminal events that are to come. --Fiona Guy: Crime Traveler
