Schuller Milner emphasizes that they're making certain people interested in seeing the residence are serious buyers, not people driven by the "sensational." With that in mind, she says a number of improvements have been made in recent years, including redecorating her kids' former rooms so prospective buyers won't think the look dates back to the Ramsey period. With that in mind, the family put the house up for sale in 20 - and they've just listed it again. Every family goes through difficult times, and in my case, if I let the loss of my leg when I was thirteen wipe out all the beauty in my life, well, I don't think the world would have much hope." But one horrific event shouldn't have the power to wipe out all these other beautiful days that occurred in that home. I don't know how many families lived in there prior to them being there it's a 1920s home. "And I just believe there were tons and tons of wonderful memories existing in that home both from when the Ramsey family was there and all the many years leading up to them moving in. "The only thing we as a society know as being negative in the home's history is this horrific event that happened to little JonBenét," she continues.
And if something like that had happened, I think it would have bothered me more. "I'm very sensitive in that area I believe our actions impact our environment. "I didn't feel that in the home," she says. We have wonderful memories of the family, and to see joy in there again, and children, is wonderful.' So I think for them, it was the beginning of a little bit of healing."įor her part, Schuller Milner says she was never overwhelmed by thoughts of bad things that happened in the house, in part because she's confident no family abuse preceded JonBenét's murder. Seeing it with weeds all around it and deteriorating was so sad. Nonetheless, all members of the family signed off on the purchase, which became official in May 2004 - and the response they received from neighbors was universally positive.Īs Schuller Milner recalls, "We actually had families coming up to us crying and saying, 'We can't tell you how much it means to us that you're in the home. There's a little bench on the playground memorializing her, and we knew families who knew the Ramsey family - so we knew the kids would be hearing about it at school." For instance, her two youngest children at the time "were going to the same school that JonBenét had been going to. Of course, she also recognized potential pitfalls. "The minute I walked through the door, this sense of peace came over me, and I absolutely fell in love with the home." It was perfect from a practical standpoint, and while there were some stylistic elements not too her liking, such as awnings that protruded inside the home to prevent sun from damaging the furniture, she saw infinite possibilities. But then I checked myself and thought, 'It's stupid not to just walk through it,' not expecting for a minute that we'd actually buy it." I'm very sensitive and spiritually based. "We had four kids at the time" - they now have five, ranging in age from four to 23 - "and I'm a very visual person, because I'm a writer and director. Hence, she and her husband began house-hunting - and when a friend suggested they take a look at the onetime Ramsey residence, a 1920s-era dwelling at 749 15th Street, which had sat vacant for several years, she was initially reluctant. I ended up on crutches for four months - and navigating those creaky, hundred-year-old stairs made us realize that we needed a place with a downstairs bedroom, or room to put one in."
But I have an artificial leg - I lost it in a motorcycle accident when I was thirteen - and at the end of 2003, I contracted flesh-eating bacteria. "So we bought a small home in the Mapleton neighborhood off Pearl Street. Schuller Milner, the daughter of televangelist Robert Schuller, and her husband, Tim Milner, initially moved from Southern California to Boulder "to do ministry with college students and downtown residents," she notes. But living there was a blessing for her, and she thinks knowing good memories were being made there helped the healing process for a good many Boulderites. This marks the third time the home has been put up for sale in recent years, and its co-owner, Carol Schuller Milner, understands why some shoppers might balk.
