  • Notes 
    • March 1998: Acting on a tip, homicide detectives discovered the torso of Vincent Kraehling, 64, in a shallow grave near a community trail between Manitou Drive and Wabanaki Drive. The rest of his body was never found.

      Kraehling was last seen four months earlier getting out of a taxi at his apartment at 54 Indiana Rd., near Frederick Mall and down the street from Saturday's discovery at 250 Frederick St.

      Kraehling shared the apartment with Linda Wagman who was originally convicted of second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Kraehling. She was later declared criminally not responsible.
