US Marshals say the property may still have buried explosives
The court has ruled that the @placeholder and any heirs have no claims to the properties or any assets from their sale.
If the properties sell, the first entities to be paid would be the municipalities of @placeholder and Lebanon, which are owed back property taxes.
