The Boulder, Colo. house where child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was brutally murdered is up for sale again.

The house, purchased in 2004 by Crystal Cathedral founder Robert H. Schuller’s son-in-law, Tim Milner and daughter Carol Schuller Milner, has been listed at $2.3 million, according to an Associated Press report.

 

The Milners bought the 7,000-square-foot home for $1.05 million. Tim Milner at the time was quoted in a local newspaper saying that the house was “perfect for the family.”

In 2007, the Milners renovated the house, according to an article in the Boulder Daily Camera. The newspaper stated that the basement where JonBenet’s strangled, beaten body was found was being finished into a recreation room with a wet bar and a wine cellar by the Milners. According to the plans, the utility room where JonBenet was eventually found dead was left unaltered.

The home was valued at about $1.8 million in December, according to Boulder Realtor Beth Mason. It was on the market from May 2009 to January 2010, but was taken off the market, she said in December.

The Milners moved back to Orange County after they were bothered by curious onlookers, according to news reports.

The Ramseys sold the home in 1998 for $650,000 to investors who vowed to resell it and donate profits to the JonBenet Ramsey Children’s Foundation.

The Crystal Cathedral, which has been plagued by internal strife and financial problems, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Oct. 18. Court records show Carol and Tim Milner, who now live in Orange County, received $109,385 in tax-free housing allowances.

The documents also showed that $832,940 in housing allowances were given to the families of all five children of the megachurch’s founder Robert H. Schuller as well as a few top executives.

Chief Financial Officer Fred Southard, whose salary and $132,000 tax-exempt housing allowance was challenged by court officials, retired last month after serving the cathedral for more than three decades.
