ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) A man previously charged with having child pornography cut an electronic monitoring device off his ankle before carjacking a woman, fatally stabbing her and raping her 10-year-old daughter, authorities said.
David J. Renz abducted the school librarian and her daughter as they left a gymnastics class at a mall in the Syracuse suburb of Clay, about 150 miles west of Albany, on Thursday night, state police said Friday.
Renz bound both victims, raped the girl and drove a short distance to a spot where the girl escaped and was found by a passing motorist, troopers said.
The motorist told 911 dispatchers he saw a man running away from the scene, allowing police to quickly send in officers on the ground and a sheriff's helicopter in the air. Renz was caught a short time later near a wooded area.
It was unclear how the girl escaped or when her mother was killed, authorities said. "We're still trying to piece the timeline together," Trooper Jack Keller said.
The girl was being treated at a hospital Friday. Her mother died from multiple stab wounds.
Renz, 29, had been charged in January with possession of child pornography and allowed to remain free under terms that included staying off the Internet and away from places including schools, parks and arcades.
He lost his job at a supermarket, moved in with his mother and hadn't been able to find other work after his arrest, according to court documents. Federal authorities said he cut his electronic monitoring device off his ankle shortly before Thursday's attacks.
Renz was arraigned Friday on murder, rape and kidnapping charges and was held without bail. The lawyer assigned to his case, Ken Moynihan, didn't return a call seeking comment.

He got his nose broken in jail. State of NY is in deep now. Just give him a few million, apologize and let him go. Unless he was drinking soda, of course.
A firearm in the hands of the woman would only have made it worse.
I read stories like this in amazement, trying to wrap my head around it, but i just can’t. There is not one single brain cell in my head that can understand the mentality behind the progressive liberal’s world view that sees guns as bad — a thing that should be outlawed— and pedophiles with ankle bracelets as good — people who should be let out of jail.
All you NY conservatives need to pack your bags and move down to Texas. Now.
He was running free from his previous arrest. That judge really protected the public by letting this guy be out of jail didn’t he? I hope that judge can’t sleep well for the rest of his or her life. Anybody with child porn should be locked up and never see the outside again.
Prayers for the family of the little girl and mom.
At least give those of us who don’t like it here a chance to leave before you build the walls.
My view is that any judge that releases these types of people - they have to stay in the judge’s house, or in a house on the judge’s block. The judge lives in the community, and is part of the community. I think we’d see a real change in who gets released, real fast.
The libs want you to blame porn. It’s about their lenience towards criminals and unwillingness to allow people to defend themselves. Don’t buy the direction the Yahoos and Asspress send you in their propaganda. Nobody is defending child pornography. But New York won’t punish him.
He promised WHAT? before they let him run free with a bracelet on?
Ummm - do they allow pepper spray ?
I dunno...That governor of yours is a state office...NYC may be a liberal/progressive playground, but there has got to be a significant number of folks in that state outside that haven to counter that loaded deck...
I don’t believe there are a significant number of conservatives in that state to make ANY sort of difference...
Y’all got a long road to hoe...
It is too bad thiw mom didn’t have a .45 with her.
Also, what morons had left this monster out of prison to be able to commit this horrific crime?
If this woman had a gun she would have been able to save herself and save her daughter the hell of being brutally raped, but hey, according to leftists, guns are bad bad bad.

Not entirely true.
BUT if the “PERPS” think the possibility of you having a weapon is high, chances are you will not be accosted.
Telling the PUBLIC in general that the “GOOD GUYS IN THE CITIZENRY” are not armed because they obey the law is just a license to kill for those that don’t.
The ‘other’ crappy point is if she had been in defiance of the law and managed to ‘take care of business’ she would more than likely be in more trouble than this clown is in now.
You just can’t really count on LEO and ‘your peers’ to back you when it comes to doing the ‘right thing’.
Don’t think he’s going anywhere. He cut his ankle bracelet, murdered a woman, and raped a 10 year old. I think any jury could care less about his nose.
Amen to that! Let’s see how this judge would like to have thugs living next door to his family.
