March 2, 1989 — Harry Krenz, 17, arrested in connection with a stabbing attack on his family, made a list of people he apparently intended to kill, according to Kosciusko County police.
Two lists, with four families’ names, were found after the Feb. 18 attacks.
Sheriff Ron Robinson said all the families on the list have been notified and have talked with investigators.
“We found one list in the home and one list in the car,” said Robinson.
Robinson said the list simply had the names of people and the word “Die” written beside them. One list also contained certain time elements as to when the actions would allegedly be carried out.
“He apparently was out to kill them,” said Robinson.
