"Lorenz Kraus's remarkable interview with WRGB aired pn Thursday, shortly after police discovered two bodies at his family's home in Albany and about eight years after his parents were last seen alive before apparently vanishing without a trace. I buried them in their property, Kraus, 53, told WRGV anchor Greg Floyd during the interview. Floyd asked: You buried them in the back of your house in Albany? Kraus said: Yes."
"Though Kraus tried to invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination during the conversation, he also said, Yeah, basically, when Floyd asked: You suffocated them? You suffocated your parents? Kraus subsequently explained that he used his hands to choke his father to death and a rope to do the same to his mother. My father, after he died my mother put his head on his chest, and after a few hours, I finished her, he said, adding that he buried the bodies after several days."
A 53-year-old man, Lorenz Kraus, admitted during a televised interview that he killed and buried his parents on their Albany property. Police had begun investigating after a Social Security tip prompted a welfare check; the parents had last been seen about eight years earlier and were still collecting benefits. Investigators unearthed human remains in the family’s backyard over two days, and authorities identified the remains as Franz and Theresia Kraus. Kraus described choking his father with his hands and strangling his mother with a rope, saying he buried both bodies several days after the killings. He was arrested outside the TV studio.
