Residents of the Southeast D.C. community who have been trying to deal with the slain murders of four young girls since January, said they can no longer live in the area.

Stuffed animals, flowers and cards adorn the front of the house where the girls were found, constantly reminding neighbors of the murders. "Yes, I definitely want to move, really for my kids. Cause it's not fair for my kids.  They don't even go outside like they used to," said neighbor Teri Lynn Louden.  Louden's kids say they'd rather play games and watch tv then go outside and be reminded of what happened next door to them.

Another resident, Corrine McKeever, deals everyday with the effects of living next to such a tragedy, "Not knowing what had happened to those kids over there... I've been going through depression classes twice a week."

McKeever is a recipient of the housing program "Section 8" where affordable housing is made available to those who can't afford regular housing, and said it's been tough trying to get D.C. Housing to understand her anxiety and give her a certificate to move somewhere else. "They had put me on medication because of it and I think that I need to be in a new surrounding and [D.C. Housing] are not assisting me at all," Mckeever said.

Superstitions are in the air with neighbors who say the girls will haunt the house because of what happened to them.

For the residents living around the home, they feel sorry but say the tragedy is too much to live with on an everyday basis. Also, they agree that a memorial should be made at the home, they just don't want to live next to it.
