Landlord unaware tenants were victims of massacre

From the "Yeah, and the moon is made of green cheese" Department:

The landlord of a California woman killed at a Christmas Eve party says it didn't realize she was dead when it asked her ex-husband to pay her late rent.

Alliance Residential Co. said Thursday that it would not pursue the outstanding balance on the home of Alice Ortiz and her son Michael.

It had told Ortiz's ex-husband, Carlos, to pay $1,655 in rent, plus penalties for not giving notice in vacating the home.

Alicia and Michael Ortiz and seven other family members were killed December 24, 2008 by a gunman dressed as Santa Claus.

He then burned the house and killed himself.Alliance says it was "unaware of the tragedy."

The company manages Broadstone Foothill Apartment Homes, where the Ortiz family lived in Upland.
