Murder for Social Security Or Humane Help? The Shocking Lorenz Kraus LIVE TV Confession!

In this Hidden Killers Live segment, we explore how what began as a Social Security fraud probe spiraled into a double homicide investigation when investigators uncovered the bodies of Franz and Theresia Kraus in their backyard.

What followed:
-
Two bodies buried behind the house
- A bizarre on-camera confession at CBS6
- Murder charges, and zero remorse
