In 1982, Cathy Krauseneck was found murdered in her Brighton, New York home—an axe embedded in her skull, her young daughter left unharmed in another room. For nearly four decades, the case went cold, the picturesque suburban house holding onto its secret.
In this episode of Crime Estate, we unpack the chilling details of the Krauseneck murder: the eerie crime scene, the long-standing suspicions around Jim Krauseneck, and the forensic breakthroughs that eventually led to a trial 40 years later. But what happens to a home that holds such a violent past? And how does a crime like this affect the legacy—and market value—of the place where it all happened?
Join us as we explore how one family’s tragedy haunted not just the people involved, but the very walls of 33 Del Rio Drive.
