“We priced this at the bottom of the market to move quick — nothing cheaper — BEST DEAL,” the listing says.

In January 2013, a young woman living with her father at 1121 N. Hickory, 21-year-old Alisa Massaro, had a party with her boyfriend, Josh Miner, 27, and two others, Bethany McKee, 21, and Adam Landerman, 22.

McKee, who was in a sexual relationship with a young man from Joliet named Terrance Rankins, suggested inviting the 22-year-old over and robbing him of his drugs and money. To the surprise of the young men and women who were plotting to kill him, Rankins arrived at the death house with his lifelong friend, 22-year-old Eric Glover.

In the wake of the slayings, Miner also spoke of flaying Glover and wearing his face like a mask, McKee told detectives during an interrogation at the Kankakee Police Department.

“He was going to take a picture later on with his face pulled off like Leatherface,” McKee said, telling how Miner was inspired by the horror film Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in which Leatherface goes on a murderous rampage and wears a dead man’s face like a mask.

“I think it’s because of the dreads” Glover wore, McKee explained to Joliet police detectives. She said Miner wanted to “scalp his head and wear it like a hat.”

McKee and Miner have already been convicted of the murders and are serving life sentences in prison. Landerman has also been found guilty but has yet to be sentenced to life in prison.

Massaro wriggled her way out of the murder case last year by copping a plea to reduced charges of robbery and concealing homicides. She can be back home on Hickory Street in less than two and a half years.

The four-bedroom, two bath house across the street from Massaro’s has “Lots of potential with these hardwood floors, updated windows” and more, the listing says.
