IT'S NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHYÃTHIS PROPERTY COULD BE SOMEONE'S DREAM HOME& LOCATED INSIDE ONE OF OAHU'S MOST EXCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES& THIS HOME IS LISTED FOR NEARLY 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS& THE STUNNING OCEAN VIEWS, OPEN FLOOR PLAN A IMPECCABLE FINISHES ARE SURE TO ATTRACT BUYERS& BUT THE HOUSE COMES WITH RECENT HISTORY& EARLIER THIS YEAÃPOLICE INVESTIGATED THE MURDER OF 73- YEAR-OLD GARY RUBY INSIDE THIS HOUSE.. HEIDI BERTUCCÃWHO'S IN CHARGE OF THE LISTING ALSO SOLD THE HOME TO RUBY BACK IN 2020. HEIDI BERTUCCI: "GARY WAS LOOKING FOR A REALLY LONG TIME AND FOR THE RIGHT HOME, I ACTUALLY HAD MET HIM AT AA PREVIOUS LISTING OF MINE ALSO IN HAWAII LOA RIDGE, HE REALLY LIKED THIS NEIGHBORHOOD BUT HE WAS LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT HOME WHERE HE COULD LIVE IN FOREVER AND WHEN HE SAW THIS HE KNEW THIS WAS THE ONE." BERTUCCI IS REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE TO INTERESTED BUYERS THAT THERE WAS A DEATH INSIDE THE HOME.
PROSECUTORS SAY RUBY'S BODY WAS FOUND ENCASED IN CONCRETE INSIDE A BATHTUB– WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED… WE RESPECTED A REQUEST NOT TO FILM THE BATHROOM. BERTUCCI SAYS THEY HOPE TO FIND THE RIGHT BUYER& BUT KNOWS THE HOME'S PAST MAY NOT SIT WELL WITH EVERYONE& HEIDI BERTUCCI: WHEN YOU BUY A HOME WHERE SOMEONE LIVED IN BEFORE YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT WHAT HAPPENED IN THERE BEFORE, THIS HOME YOU DO KNOW AND YOU DO KNOW THE HISTORY BUT PEOPLE TAKE THE HOME FOR WHAT IT IS AND NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE. THE FAMILY SAYS THE EVENTS DESCRIBED BY POLICE –SHOULD NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE HOME& RUBY'S NIECE SAYS HER UNCLE HAD LOTS OF MEMORIES YET TO BE MADE INSIDE THAT PROPERTY.

WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL TIME HERE. AND WE WISH YOU THE SAME." SHE SAYS SHE MISSES HER UNCLE EVERYDAY… BUT LETTING GO OF THIS HOME DOES NOT MEAN LETTING GO OF RUBY AND THE MOMENTS THEY SHARED.
