BRIGHTON, N.Y. — A virtual hearing was held Tuesday morning for the former Brighton man accused of killing his wife with an ax in their home nearly 40 years ago.
The murder of Cathy Krauseneck has remained unsolved. A new development though came in 2019 when her husband James was charged with her murder.
Police say he told investigators that he returned from work in 1982 and found Cathy with an ax lodged in her head.
The couple's 3-year-old daughter was found unharmed in her bed.
Krauseneck's lawyers are fighting to have the charges dropped, but Spectrum News is told the case is continuing.
Both sides conferenced with the judge and the next hearings are in late June.
