The house where 8-year-old Thomas Valva died failed to sell during an auction this morning at Brookhaven Town Hall.

News 12 has learned the bid for the house on Bittersweet Lane in Center Moriches started at $634,200.

Nobody bid on the house and the house will now go back to the bank.

Valva died after being forced to sleep in the home's freezing garage in January of 2020.

Valva’s father Michael and his ex-fiancée are both serving 25 years to life in prison after being convicted of the child’s murder.
