How do I walk away from a job after physically walking away from it?
I had an interview today for an internship I found on craigslist. However, when I arrived at the given address, the location turned out to be in some extremely shady apartment building. Nobody even answered or buzzed me in when I rang the bell. So, naturally, I went home.
They sent me an email 30 minutes after my interview time asking where I was, and I still haven't replied. What is the polite way of saying that I went home because nobody answered and I'm not interested in the job anymore?

I agree with the others and see no reason to reply to the emails. Something is not right here. Employers, especially today usually have more candidates for a position and take no interest if one fails to show up for an interview.
This does peek my concern though for the safety of others. I would suggest that you contact your local police and advise them of what you have told us. They may wish to investigate.

There is no job. People actually seeking employees do not send you messages asking where you are when you do not show up for a scheduled interview.
How do you feel like replying to scammers or MLM salemen?

No place offers interviews at an apartment complex, That is shady and extremely suspicious.
Your best bet, Don't reply to the email. I really would advise you too look elsewhere other than craigslist for a job. They have numerous amount of scams and liars. I really couldn't tell you how many creeps turn out too be on craigslist. Think about it...
Also, Many jobs offering "internships" wouldn't take the time to email you back asking where you were now would they? Stay away from craigslist it is the worst possible place for job seeking.
If you can I would avoid going back to the area. It wasn't an interview you've found yourself a setup it couldn't possibly be any more obvious. Block their email and from now on if you want a job go in person to an actual business that is in a public place.

Just tell them that you have found another job, but thank them for considering you. You don't have to go into details.
