(ABC 6 News) - In recent years, a home just outside of Austin city limits has succumbed to neglect and vandalism after the owners abandoned the property.
It’s the same house that Kathryn Dyas custom-built for her family 25 years ago. Earlier this week, Dyas and her daughter Ilsa Otto returned to the home which is now unrecognizable to them.
Since the family sold the house in 2007, Otto has been following its trail of events.
