Psycho For Love: Leonard Tyburski killed his wife, Dorothy Tyburski, and kept her body in the freezer

dvawareness3This case arises from defendant’s killing of his wife on September 28, 1985. This fact is not in dispute. The case has received a great deal of publicity because of the unusual manner in which defendant disposed of the body: he stored it in a chest freezer in his basement for over three years. The body was discovered by his elder daughter on January 2, 1989.

Defendant admits killing his wife, Dorothy Tyburski, but claims that it was not murder but a killing in the heat of passion, thus manslaughter, or that he killed in self-defense. Defendant admitted the killing in his own testimony. He stated that his wife told him that she wanted him to leave for a couple of weeks and that she no longer loved him. Defendant replied that he still loved her and refused to leave. He then asked the victim whether she was having an affair with the eighteen-year-old boyfriend of their elder daughter. The victim refused to answer. She grabbed a knife and fork and went downstairs to get something out of the freezer. Defendant followed her to continue the conversation.

In the basement, the victim took some plastic containers out of the freezer. Defendant again asked her if she was having an affair with their daughter’s boyfriend. The victim responded with words to the effect of, “Yes, I am. I love Craig. He’s a man. You’re not a man. You’re a wimp, a punk, a bastard. You’re leaving. Get out of here.” The victim threw the frozen food containers, along with the knife and fork, at defendant as she said the words.
[445 Mich. 611]

The victim came at defendant with her hands. Defendant pushed her away. The victim retrieved the knife and lunged at him with it. Defendant stated that he was in shock at this point over learning of the affair and afraid because of the physical attack. After he stopped the victim from stabbing him, he slammed her head into a beam many times. He then flung her into the freezer. He went upstairs, cleaned up, and returned to the basement a half-hour later. He noticed that the victim was motionless and was not breathing. At this point, he closed the freezer and never opened it again.

I have heard that a TV movie was made about this case, but I can’t find it. If anyone knows the name of it, please tell me!

Michele Marie MacNeill

This sentence means he will likely die in prison. He did not receive just 15 years. It is 15 years to life PLUS 1-15 years, meaning he must serve the first sentence and then move on to the second sentence. He was also sentenced on Monday to 1-15 years for sexually assaulting one of his daughters. That will also be served consecutive to the other sentences.

Psycho For Love: Edward Tetz killed his wife, Kimberly Tetz, 11 months after they wed

Kimberly TetzFrom Edwart Tetz’ appeal: In December 1996, defendant began an affair with Michelle Melini roughly six months after his marriage to his wife. Defendant had discussed divorce with his wife in January 1997, and Melini told defendant he would have to choose between his wife and her.

At 8:44 p.m. on February 11, 1997, Vineland police officers discovered Kimberly slumped over in her small car in Giampietro Park. She was shot twice at close range by a shotgun. Substantial evidence supporting the conviction included: the affair and defendant’s request for divorce; defendant drove a white pickup truck and eyewitnesses saw both a truck and a small car, like defendant’s and Kimberly’s, in dvawareness3the park shortly before the homicide; defendant’s statements to police regarding his affair and his whereabouts before the homicide were belied by other evidence; defendant owned shotguns and police discovered in defendant’s home partially empty boxes of ammunition like that used in the murder; and a blood sample found near the truck’s gas tank lid matched the DNA of a sample of Kimberly’s blood. Actually, two samples of Kimberly’s blood were collected and provided to police. One was provided to a police officer present at the autopsy. A second sample was provided later, by a person at Shore Memorial Hospital where Kimberly was taken after the murder. A Vineland police officer retrieved the sample from the hospital and transported it unrefrigerated to Vineland.
