The Erie County District Attorney’s Office announced that a jury found 56-year-old Brian Scott Lorenzo, also known as Brian Scott Lorenz, guilty of multiple charges in the death of Deborah Meindl in 1993.
According to the DA, the jury found Lorenzo guilty of:
- Two counts of second-degree murder
- One count of first-degree burglary
Investigators said that on February 17, 1993, Lorenzo entered a home on Franklin Street in the City of Tonawanda, and while inside, intentionally caused the death of 33-year-old Deborah Meindl. She was found dead in the dining room by her 10-year-old daughter as she arrived home from school. The DA said the Erie County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the manner of death as homicide caused by ligature strangulation.
