SALT LAKE CITY, Ut. (Crime Library) — Destiny Norton's death chamber looked like something out of a Stephen King horror movie.
In fact, it was so creepy that even the wife of the man accused of killing her doesn't like going down there.

"I don't go down in that basement. I've been in that cellar once, and that was when we first moved in a year ago," said Catherine Gregerson during a call-in interview with radio station KSL. "It's one of the things you see in horror movies. I was scared to death to go down there."
She said her husband Craig thought it was "cool." Now he is accused of killing Destiny and leaving her down there — perhaps for as long as the eight days she has been missing. Gregerson was arrested Monday on suspicion of kidnapping and murder and is expected to be charged with those crimes today. Destiny disappeared from the grassy area in front of his house on July 16.

Suspect's House |
Gregerson's house sits on a grassy lot at 518 E. Elwood Place alongside three other identical duplexes near downtown Salt Lake. The two-bedroom dilapidated wood structures were built during the 40s with a coal-burning basement and it's apparent they haven't been renovated since. The coal burners no longer operate, leaving behind a dank 10-by-10 foot box.
