Aquaint San Francisco homethat became the site of a grisly quadruple murder-suicide sold only four days after it went on the market, for more than $700,000 over the asking price.
Once thepicture of suburban bliss, the three-bedroom, two-bath house at 930 Monterey Blvd became ahouse of horrorswhen police discovered the bodies of Thomas Ocheltree, 57, his wife Paula Truong, 52, and their two young daughters, aged 9 and 12 last October.
Truong allegedly shot her husband and children before turning the gun on herself in the affluent Westwood Highlands neighborhood.
The home — where the four people died — originallyhit the marketfor $1.49 million, but ended up being sold for $2.2 million,according to listing data.
“My brother and his two precious daughters were victims of a horrific crime,” a family member toldKRON4at the time of the gruesome discovery.
“Our family is shocked and devastated.”
Investigators believe the family’s world unraveled after a string of failed business ventures and mounting debt,reported by the SF Standard.
Documents obtained byABC7found that the family was drowning in financial problems, with the home they bought in 2014 in foreclosure in 2024, with the couple being $200,000 behind on their mortgage payments.
Other documents showed that the home on Monterey Blvd had been in default since 2022.
While the $1.5 million initial price might have sounded steep to anyone living outside the Bay Area, it was a steal for a neighborhood where similar homes typically clear the $2 million mark.
