How can I find out about a murder or murders that I was told occured at my current address some decades ago?

Question

I don't have any dates or names only my address. I believe they occured between 1950s to no later then 1985.

Answer 1

Pay a visit to your local newpaper place and ask them to pull out the stories of murders at your address between 1950 and 1985.  

I don't know if you can go to the local police department and find out, but I would try.

Answer 2

Search the archives of your local newspaper.    If they have online search, it will be easier.  

Go to the town hall and get the history of ownership of your property.   Google the names you find.  

Google your address

If there were convictions, you can also search police/criminal records

Answer 3

I would start with the public library since they would have microfiche of old newspapers. Maybe contact the police and the newspaper.
