homicide investigation

An Essex County jury found Luciano Frattolin guilty Monday of killing his 9-year-old daughter last summer and leaving her body in an Adirondack pond.

Mechanicville Police Chief Bill Rabbit said text messages between Amy Steadman and Sarah Myers showed their planning of the children’s killings began no later than June 5. The pair were also found to have communicated and coordinated on the day of the murder.

A Jay Woman identified as Patricia Lawrence was ruled as a homicide this afternoon.

During opening statements, the prosecution painted Luciano Frattolin as a man continually changing his story as investigators discovered information that challenged his narrative. His attorney said law enforcement decided his client's guilt before the investigation began.

Court documents state that, after being read his rights, MacDonald admitted to severely beating the victim, and that "it was his intent to kill her."
