revealed there is evidence that someone intentionally set
this suburban Aspen home on fire. Neighbors tell me the home
has been abandoned for decades but the evil, as they call it that once lived here at 53 Highland Avenue was once the center of a national tragedy. In June of 1981,

During the trial Tufford told the judge he was innocent and testified he was brainwashed into committing the killings after reading the controversial novel The Infernal Mach
