Well at least the real estate industry is doing ok, I guess this is the pitch, you kill your wife and you need money for the trial, so how do you sell the house exactly?

I don't get it - why would the husband have to have killed the wife in order to need this service? I would imagine if anyone was killed in my home (wife, kids, visiting neighbor, intruding burglar, etc), whether by accident, suicide, or homicide, I would rather sell the place then live on top of a murder scene. I'm curious that you immediately leapt to the spousal homicide theory... got something on your mind, vincent?

I read the ad a different way--as a way to "clean up" the place after something bad as happened. I know a family that had someone shoot themselves in their house. Yes, *most* of the gray matter was cleaned up, but they had to call the police to get what was missed. I guess there is a market for this kind of service.
