Over two weeks after a Holladay home was intentionally demolished after explosives were found inside , the neighborhood is still dealing with damage, including one family that says they no longer have a home to live in.
“We’re in AirBnbs because this house is unlivable. So there’s no power, gas, there is some water,” explained Keeva Juarez.

Juarez and her family rented the home next door to the one owned by Teri Wojcik, where crews found the explosives stored there by Teri’s husband , Leonard, a retired chemist at the University of Utah.
Two controlled explosions completely leveled the Wojcik house , and caused problems for others.
“It’s frustrating because we didn’t ask for this to happen,” explained Juarez.
Keeva and her family are now looking for a new place to live.
“Being destroyed as it is, our contract with the owner of the house is void, so now we’re just looking for a new place to rent,” she said. “Lots of people promised to help. The city said they’d help, Red Cross, they said reach out to the LDS church.
