BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - A recently released convict was charged Tuesday with murdering a Roman Catholic nun who had taken him in at the halfway house she ran for former prison inmates.
Craig Lynch, 36, sobbed during the arraignment on second-degree murder charges for allegedly killing Sister Karen Klimczak when she walked in on him late Friday as he was stealing her cell phone from her room at the halfway house, called Bissonette House.
Lynch led officers to Klimczak's body late Monday in a shed behind an abandoned house about five miles from where she lived, police said. An autopsy listed the cause of death as strangulation and blunt force trauma.
