For the family of Peggy Sue Kriek, the details surrounding her brutal murder are difficult to comprehend and even harder to talk about...
State Police say the 52-year-old was sexually assaulted, badly beaten, and strangled by Craig Rugg and Paul Bannasch. Both are 24 years old and both have criminal backgrounds.

Witness Hilary Emerick, 22, identified the men and testified that she saw them with Margaret Kriek at Sidewinder's bar on June 21, and watched all three walk outside into the dark, shortly before Kriek was killed...
Rugg said he initially punched Kriek because she wouldn't have sex with him. "Her mouth had a little bit of blood over it from the smack and I believe right around her eye area where I had punched her was bleeding a little bit," Rugg said in the recording.
Rugg told police they continued the assault because they were scared, but he didn't offer a motive for killing her. "We really had no purpose. We just got it out of frustration and everything. Us being scared, that's what it led to us doing," Rugg said. He added the only reason he stopped kicking Kriek was because his leg started to hurt.

Prosecutors are urging a judge to allow them to present evidence that a woman, whose body was recovered in the Youghiogheny River last year, was kidnapped and tortured prior to her death...
Ruggs attorneys want prosecutors barred from seeking the death penalty because they cannot prove Kriek was kidnapped or tortured.
