Summary

On February 19, 1982 Jim Krauseneck came home to his Brighton, NY residence to find his wife brutally murdered and his three year old daughter alive within the chaos. It would take forty years for a trial to hopefully bring justice to the family of Cathy Krauseneck. Join me as I tell John this tragic case and let us know if you believe justice was served.
