On Feb. 19, 1982, police officers arrived at the Brighton home of Jim and Cathy Krauseneck and encountered a horrific scene. DET. MARK LIBERATORE: Hi. … Mark Liberatore, how are you? DET. STEVE HUNT: You're probably a little bit surprised why we're here. JIM KRAUSENECK: Hopefully you've got some good news. DET. STEVE HUNT: I'm sure you think about this, "who could possibly have done this?" DET. MARK LIBERATORE: Did you have anything to do with this?
