In this chilling episode of Crime Estate, your favorite Realtor podcasters Heather and Elena dig into the haunting disappearance and murder of the McStay family from their home in Fallbrook, California—a seemingly idyllic cul-de-sac nestled in the “Avocado Capital of the World.” What began as a missing persons case in 2010 quickly spiraled into a multi-year investigation involving international leads, business betrayals, and a Mojave Desert grave. From red flags in financial records to bizarre family dynamics and strange behavior from those closest to the case, we unpack the many twists and turns that led to a shocking conviction. Was justice really served—or are there still unanswered questions hiding behind those red tile roofs? Tune in for real estate insights, true crime chills, and the ultimate debate: would you live in a home with this kind of past?
