A New York man has been arrested after confessing on live television to killing his parents eight years ago. Lorenz Kraus admitted to burying his parents, Franz and Theresia Kraus, in their backyard. The confession followed a financial crime investigation into the parents' Social Security benefits, which authorities suspected Kraus had been collecting. He claimed he killed them due to their declining health and to end their suffering. Kraus faces murder and concealment charges.
