UPDATE (September 26, 2025): Lorenz Kraus appeared in court Friday pleaded not guilty. Following his plea, Kraus was remanded and held without bail.

-----

In an exclusive interview, Lorenz Kraus, the son of Franz and Theresia Kraus, sat down with CBS6.

A large police presence gathered Tuesday at 6 Crestwood Court in Albany to execute a search warrant related to suspected financial crimes. The day after law enforcement executed a search warrant at a home in Albany, excavation equipment can be seen working in the backyard. One body was recovered on Wednesday, the other on Thursday morning.

Lorenz, according to Albany Police Chief Brendon Cox, was interviewed by investigators.

Shortly after the news conference, Lorenz reached out to CBS6.

In an interview Lorenz admitted to killing his parents. He told CBS6's Greg Floyd he wanted everyone to be able to watch his interview and then judge for themselves.

Afterward, once he left the building, he was taken into custody by Albany police.

Albany police charged Lorenz with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of concealment of a human corpse. He is set to be arraigned in Albany City Criminal Court on Friday.

He killed his parents during a news interview? That's brazen!

(Another "When will journalists learn to write" moment.)

This guy is crazy for killing his parents. Mercy killing? I don’t think so.

Growing up, I wished my mother would drop dead sometimes when she wouldn’t let me do what I wanted. But that was just childish rage and I never would or could act on it.

What do we know? He is a Democrat if he killed his parents. He is a Democrat US Federal Official if he stole all their money and property.

I wonder if the jerk cast ballots using his parents’ identities.

I found his voter registration. You’re right - he’s registered as a Democrat.

It gets even weirder...

He's a neo-Nazi who ran for president in 2020 as a Democrat:

Lorenz Kraus' dark journey from valedictorian to confessed killer

Kraus was mostly notable for running an obscure campaign for president and his adherence to conspiracy theories and antisemitism. He appeared on the 2020 presidential ballot in New Hampshire, running as a Democrat and declaring he was running for president to dissolve the presidency. He proposed breaking the country up into four regions "to break the control of the Deep State, British agents, Rhodes scholars, and the Jews,"...

Oh, I see you already posted an article two days ago about his campaign for president in 2020.

It’s sickening - He ran for office three years after murdering his parents!!!
