Owners of Home Set Ablaze by Anne Heche Crash Make $2M Claim Against Her Estate
Jennifer and John Durand, the owners of the home that late actress Anne Heche crashed into with her Mini Cooper just before her death, have filed a complaint against Heche’s estate seeking compensatory damages.
The home is used by the Durand’s as a rental property where renter, Lynne Mishele, was living at the time of the crash. According to the complaint, the impact caused severe structural damage and decimated the home. The Durand’s receive substantial economic benefit from the rental property and have subsequently spent quite a bit of time and money to rebuild.
They have asked the court to enter a judgment in their favor of at least $2 million. Mishele is also seeking at least $2 million as a result of the damages caused by the crash.
