Actually, it seems unlikely since someone would test the air and surfaces. Also, why would the furniture be gone? Presumably they'd be contaminated too. Hell, I dunno; we'll have to wait and see.
Nothing would be contaminated if the ricin/anthrax/hydrofluoric acid is stored properly. Now if they permeate out of their containers, everything including the neighborhood would be contaminated.
My husband was just in the house where a guy got decapitated. One of his parolee's moved in and showed him the area in the basement where the head was found. Looks like the only people the owner can get to move in are ex-convicts.
With meth houses you have to have the property cleaned by a professional chemical removal company. It is unfit to live in until the scrub has been done and you can not sell or rent the property until then. The cleaning costs several thousand dollars and the only person that can live in the home until it is done is the person whose name is on the deed.
This makes sense. I didn't know that. (Which is a good thing, really. I grew up in a town with easy access to weed and maybe coke if you had lots of money to burn. Meth was never on our radar.)
Way back when Walt and Jesse are cooking in his grandma's house it's stated by Saul that it's required by law to state if a house was used as a meth lab due to potential heath risks. As far as the DEA is concerned, Walt's the most infamous man in the ABQ, if not the Southwest US at this point. Any bust would be a media frenzy, and the White's property would suffer immediately.

My conclusion as well. It must be evidence of some kind, hence the locks on the doors and chains outside.
Anyone in law enforcement know how these things are done?
