Ross would later say that he entered the house to find Perelson swallowing a number of pills, then settling down on Judye's bed. The Perelsons two younger children, ages 13 and 11, were unharmed. The handsome Spanish Revival mansion at 2475 Glendower Place in wealthy Los Feliz has long been one of Los Angeles's creepiest mysteries. If the story was just that a doctor had killed his wife with a ball-peen hammer, then himself with Nembutal and pills, it'd still get passed around among neighborhood kids.

But I couldn't get anyone to confirm that Enriquez does still visit, or that—at 81—he's still alive. I tried the LAPD office in Los Feliz, where officers told me they hadn't heard of any "Los Feliz Murder Mansion." The only people who definitely still visit the place are internet randos. After working together for 11 years, however, Schustack allegedly tried to steal the design to cut Harold out of the deal.

All Vaughn found was a gold ribbon and a gift box lid, though she was "not so sure of its origins." Now, courtesy of local photographer Alexis Vaughn, we have photos of the estate from just before it was spruced up and emptied out. The images, posted on Vaughn's blog Life In My Lens, were taken in January and show a house that appears to have been very much lived-in, with plenty of mail, cat litter, clothes, and other signs of life. As authorities moved through the house and took stock of the brutality, they found that Lillian Perelson had not died from blood loss, but from asphyxiation. His wife Florence died of heart disease on July 1, 1928, and Schumacher died of pneumonia 27 days later. Then the house was rented to several tenants, one of whom died of infection during his tenancy, the podcast reported.

In 1960, the house sold in a probate auction to a couple from Lincoln Heights named Emily and Julian Enriquez. In 1957, Judye and her siblings were in a car accident at Vermont and Los Feliz Boulevards. Perelson sued the other driver involved, but won only enough to cover medical bills. Judye wrote to her aunt shortly before her father's attack, "My parents, so to speak, are in a bind financially." Perelson had multiple coronaries, or that's what the family told people. It came out later they were suicide attempts, and that Perelson was going to be committed. Los Angeles police say Hunter allegedly smashed one of the glass doors at Bass' home early Sunday morning while the mayor and her family inside.

Life

All three Perelson children survived the incident, though none have been mentioned in the media since. No members of Mayor Bass' family were hurt during the break-in at the Los Angeles property known as Getty House. BOSTON – Ephraim Hunter, the man police say broke into the home of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass over the weekend, was previously convicted in a violent Massachusetts attack.

The house was sold via probate auction to a different couple, Emily and Julian Enriquez. However, if they moved in, they didn't stick around long enough to make the house a home. He didn't move in either, though he did apparently use the home for storage, which could explain the various post-1959 items trespassers claimed to have seen when peering through the windows. Plenty of murder houses, as they're charmingly called, have recovered from the grisly acts that have unfolded within their walls.

The Los FelizMurder Mansion

The exterior of the mansion is in slow decay, and the local neighbors have had to pitch in to help maintain the property. For the next 50 years, the Los Feliz murder mansion would remain completely untouched and uninhabited by anyone. According to CBS Los Angeles, while Bass was running for mayor but still a member of the United States House of Representatives in late 2022, her home was burgalized by at least two people armed with guns. Bass became mayor in 2023 and has lived at the home with her family since. Hunter was one of four people who police arrested in 2015 when a man was beaten with a hammer in Millis. Hunter was found guilty in 2016 and sentenced to 5-7 years in Massachusetts state prison.

I remember clicking on a link [that said] "The first photos inside the Los Feliz Murder Mansion!" and [being] just utterly shocked. There were photos of places that I did not even recognize in the least without the flood of objects. It made me feel a twinge of sadness, like all of that history was just swept away.

According to the Times, a friend of neighbor Sheree Waterson decided to barge in one night, and a black widow sneakily bit her hand, something she didn't notice until she was fleeing from the burglar alarm she had triggered. Afterward, her own burglar alarm kept going off, which she joked was evidence that some of the excess Murder Mansion ghosts had abandoned their stations after she visited, and were now stalking her. To my knowledge, that was the first time a major news publication had implied that the place was haunted. In January, shortly after owner Rudy Enriquez died childless, leaving the house in probate, photographer Alexis Vaughn was lucky enough to take her camera inside. Her photos from that day are the last chance anyone will ever have to see the place when it still looked like the real-life horror movie set it truly was.

The Perelson children were passed into the custody of their aunt. Soon thereafter, the house at 2475 Glendower Place was essentially abandoned. It was sold in a probate auction to Emily and Julian Enriquez, neither of whom lived on the property. Decades passed, and the house gained a reputation for being virtually untouched since the murders.

The LaBianca House, where members of the Manson family murdered the couple that lived there in 1969, was ultimately sold and lived in again. The Wonderland House, once a known drug house where four people were murdered by an unknown killer in 1981—no one was ever convicted despite some pretty key suspects, including porn star John Holmes—has new occupants. But the house on Glendower has been mostly vacant for over 50 years.

Why did Perelson commit such a vicious act against the people who likely loved him the most? Some have speculated that the family had fallen on hard times, and that Perelson had tried to take his own life before. Writer Jeff Maysh explored the case in an in-depth article on Medium that's worth a read. The 1920s house sits "Perched on a hill up a long drive way with sweeping views," on an approximately half-acre property near Griffith Park.
