E2 - The Brighton Ax Murderer

 


There is a Netflix movie, Things Seen and
Heard, which is based on the novel, All
Things Cease to Appear by Elizabeth
Brundage. The movie stars Amanda
Seyfried. 

Both are set in Western New York.
And both are actually based on a
true-crime, the same true crime.

On February 19, 1982, someone killed
Cathleen Krauseneck with an ax.
The unknown killer was known as,
The Brighton Ax Murderer.

I have not seen the movie yet. Nor have
I read the book, yet. I do, however, live
about thirteen minutes northwest
of Brighton.

Very recently this unsolved cold-case
. . .was solved.
