Defense in 1982 Brighton ax murder case says serial killer confessed to crime
Jan 29, 2020
Startling details are emerging from files that have been sealed for almost four decades. Those documents suggest Edward Laraby was once a suspect in the case and confessed while in prison in 2014.
[..]
He was on his deathbed, suffering from ALS, when he made a confession in the ax murder case. But he apparently got key details wrong.
He said it happened a year later and that the victim had short, dark hair. Krauseneck's hair was long and blond.
He also said she was sexually assaulted and left. Neither are true.
Finally, he also told police the victim was awake and on her knees when she was hit with the ax. Actual evidence shows she was in bed, sleeping.
Monroe County Assistant District Attorney Bill Gargan said Laraby was ruled out as a suspect.
"I think it will be abundantly clear, as you look at the history of Ed Laraby and the nature of this murder, this murder would be extraordinarily anomalous," he said outside court Wednesday.
