Lee?



To clarify, I'm thinking of the realtor or seller of a house in close
proximity to the killer, not the killer's realtor.


I would guess that disclosure not necessary and if it were murderer's
residence, it would probably be up to local laws. For example, I'm
pretty sure that here, you could disclose it but if everybody in the
house died of AIDS, disclosure is not allowed by law. The people to ask
are your local real estate association.
