A couple sues a Dubuque woman and her Realtor, claiming they were haunted by a suicide at the home
A 65-year-old Dubuque woman says she was forced to file for bankruptcy to save herself financially from a lawsuit filed by the people who bought her home and claimed in part that they were haunted by her husband's suicide. Plaintiffs Chad and Michelle Miller alleged in a suit that they were not happy after purchasing Rita Russow's home, at 2801 Summer Drive. The Millers claimed that structural defects in the property, such as roof leakage, and the 1992 suicide of Russow's husband, supposedly on the property, caused them to suffer damages. The plaintiffs purchased the home for $136,000.
