- 2:11Speaker 3: years ago. Officials say they were investigating why the couple
- 2:15Speaker 3: were receiving Social Security payments despite not being seen for years. Now,
- 2:20Speaker 3: Kraus sat down with Craig Floyd from our affiliate at
- 2:24Speaker 3: CBS six Albany, where he made the stunning confession. Did
- 2:27Speaker 3: one parent, did your mom or your dad more so
- 2:30Speaker 3: than the other, ask you to take their lives?
- 2:32Speaker 4: They didn't explicitly say that, but they made it clear
- 2:38Speaker 4: that they were going downhill.
- 2:40Speaker 2: When it actually happened, when your parents died. Did they
- 2:43Speaker 2: know what was happening to them?
- 2:44Speaker 1: Oh?
- 2:45Speaker 4: Yeah, and they knew it was at your hand, but yes, no.
- 2:48Speaker 2: One else, So they they realized what you were doing
- 2:51Speaker 2: to them as it happened. Yes, they knew that this
- 2:54Speaker 2: was it for them. They were perishing at your hand.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Yes, and it was some quick How does she do it? Yeah?
- 3:01Speaker 2: I won't.
- 3:01Speaker 4: I can't talk about that. Boy.
- 3:02Speaker 2: You just told us that, right, it was at your hand?
- 3:05Speaker 2: Were there drugs involved? There a suffocation was that you
- 3:09Speaker 2: suffocated them?
- 3:10Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 3:12Speaker 2: Which parent did you? Did? You suffocate first.
- 3:16Speaker 4: My father and he after he died, my mother put
- 3:19Speaker 4: her head on his chest and she was there for
- 3:23Speaker 4: a few hours, and then I finished her.
- 3:28Speaker 5: Damn, man, I know vladd is somewhere like damn. How
- 3:31Speaker 5: I missed that one? Now I got some missues to
- 3:35Speaker 5: ask about this situation. Number one, everybody is content over
- 3:40Speaker 5: everything nowadays.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Everybody okay, Because according to the news report, this guy
- 3:45Speaker 1: Lawrenz sent the two page statement the news outlets with
- 3:48Speaker 1: his phone number. So Stone Grissomed, the TV station's news director,
- 3:52Speaker 1: called him and Lorenz Cross told him he buried his
- 3:55Speaker 1: parents in his yard. Did he ask Lorenz if he
- 3:59Speaker 1: killed them? And Lorenz said, I pleaded the fifth. So
- 4:01Speaker 1: Grissom told him, I promise, I will post your statement
- 4:04Speaker 1: on the TV station's website if you agree to come
- 4:07Speaker 1: in for an interview in Lorenz's degrees. Can they even
- 4:11Speaker 1: checked Lorenz to make sure he was unarmed when he
- 4:13Speaker 1: was arrived. Now, they did have a playing close police
- 4:16Speaker 1: officer in the front lobby. But my question is why
- 4:18Speaker 1: didn't the TV news director report this to the police
- 4:21Speaker 1: as soon as he got the information. Why would an
- 4:23Speaker 1: interview be scheduled? Why would an interview be conducted? He
- 4:26Speaker 1: should have been detained and bought in for questioning as
- 4:29Speaker 1: soon as he stepped foot in that lobby. But people
- 4:31Speaker 1: put content over everything. Should he have been interviewed? Yes
- 4:34Speaker 1: by police?
- 4:35Speaker 2: Okay?
- 4:36Speaker 1: Now? Albany County Assistant Public Defender Rebecca Sokel, who was
- 4:40Speaker 1: representing Loren's car cross, said he would be said she
- 4:44Speaker 1: would be looking into how the interview came about because,
- 4:46Speaker 1: in her words, if the media was essentially an agent
- 4:50Speaker 1: of police in this matter, that could raise questions about
- 4:53Speaker 1: whether lorenz comments in the interview would be legally admissible
- 4:57Speaker 1: at trial. Listen, I'm not about to sit here in act.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I know what any of that means legally. I just
- 5:02Speaker 1: know morally, ethically and common Sensely, if I get an
- 5:05Speaker 1: email from someone telling me they buried their parents in
- 5:08Speaker 1: the backyard, my next thought is not gonna be you
- 5:10Speaker 1: know what, let's book.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Him for the breakfast club. No, okay.
- 5:14Speaker 1: It also says a lot about the times here in
- 5:16Speaker 1: that Lorenz wanted to do an interview. I know, criminals
- 5:19Speaker 1: seeking fame for crimes is not new, but the fact
- 5:22Speaker 1: he gave this interview and thought he was just gonna
- 5:24Speaker 1: walk out and going Joyce from waffle house afterwards. Says
- 5:28Speaker 1: a lot about this era. Please let me give Lorenz
- 5:31Speaker 1: Cross the biggest he hull.
- 5:32Speaker 2: He haw, he ha, You stupid mother? Are you dumb?
- 5:37Speaker 2: That's crazy? That's crazy. What we'll race to say? Are
