On a fateful night, June 30, 1987, Boise resident Clinton Sparks was jolted awake by frantic pounding on his storm door, followed by a chilling scream echoing through the dark. Little did he know, he was hearing the last desperate cry of 21-year-old Preston Murr. The chilling events led to the capture and conviction of two of Murr's associates, Daniel Rodgers and Daron Cox, marking an end to a grisly chapter—or so it seemed.

The house on Linden Street, where this tragic event unfolded, didn't fade into obscurity. Instead, it morphed into a beacon of ghostly lore, earning its moniker as Boise's infamous Murder Mansion. Over the years, tales have spread of spectral apparitions and unexplained phenomena, like blood mysteriously dripping down the walls.
