Karrie Neurauter pleads guilty to helping Daddy kill mother

A school student charged with helping her father kill her mother was agreed to testify against him as part of a plea bargain.

Karrie Neurauter, 20, says she drove her dad Lloyd Neurauter, 45, to her mother’s home in Corning, New York on August 27 and disconnected electronic devices in the home to conceal his presence.

While Lloyd strangled his ex-wife, 46-year-old Michele Neurauter, Karrie maintains she distracted her 14-year-old sister.  

She then helped him create the scene look like a suicide and lied to police.

Neurauter pleaded guilty Wednesday in Steuben County, New York court to second-degree murder in exchange for a recommended sentence of 15 years to life.

Another charges levied against her are also dropped. Those included first-degree custodial interference, tampering with physical signs and gallop conspiracy.  

The Rochester Institute of Technology computer technology student says her dad gave her the ultimatum in mid-August – stating she could help him kill her mother or he would commit suicide.

She says he wanted to finish his child support and alimony obligations and receive custody of his youngest child.

Steuben County District Attorney Brooks Baker said they consider Karrie’s story because she passed a polygraph test.

He has pleaded not guilty to several charges such as  first-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder, first-degree burglary, first-degree wreak havoc, tampering with physical signs, caked conspiracy, second-degree unlawful solicitation, endangering the welfare of a child and offering a false instrument for filing.

When convicted, Lloyd confronts the potential for life in prison without parole.

Have You Become Your Children’ Parent? Join the Crowd!

The majority of our lives we’ve looked to our parents to get advice and answers to questions. Now we’re the ones needing to think of the solutions.

It happened slowly. I believe that it began around the time my parents reach their 70’s — that the telephone began ringing — every day. Don’t make me wrong. I love talking about my parents. I believe I loved it a great deal better when it was just easy conversations rather than them wanting me to inform them what they should do. But severe illnesses hit them equally and being a single child it was me they turned into. I truly would not have it any other way. I only wished I was a good deal wiser.

It really shifts your brain in the household role you’ve played of your life. Instead of these accepting me to the doctor, waiting for the hallway to get my appendix to come outside, or awaiting the doctor to put a cast on my leg, or awaiting me to possess that following grandchild, it is me carrying them. It’s me supporting them to choose what to do. Life really does come around full circle. There is no doubt about it if you’ve got older parents.

It’s a good deal of responsibility to inform your parents. I do not take it. Despite a diploma in social gerontology, I have to do my homework often to find out what path to choose. It’s hard just realizing that they’re in their 80’s. It used to look so outdated. It used to look like I was a long, long way from being “older.” It now seems like it is only around the corner.

My identity, my thoughts on who I really am are wrapped up my parents. Who will I be when they are gone? It disturbs me when my youngest child was coming of age. It was a jolt to realize I would not be Travy’s go into individual. That was a part to relinquish. He was coming to his own. I wonder if my parents are waiting for me to “come into my own?” I hope they are not holding their resumes! But that will I be if they are gone? I am sure I will feel just as lost, maybe far more lost than when my youngest left home.

The older your kids get, the more you know that you really must have been a doctor!

I devote a good deal of time looking online for my parents. It normally has something related to a health issue, but that’s not where it ends. It seems that telephone books are something of the past. When they require a dental practitioner or the tractor fixed, I am the yellow pages. When they have to know what things to take for nausea, I am the researcher. I truly owe them much more than anything I have ever done but it will make me pause to think. Can my kids have to do that stuff for me?

I have learned to roll with these punches.

Initially I kind of went kicking and screaming into this new lifestyle function. It really was not worth the fuss. It’s what it is. The most surprising thing is your gratitude. They are constantly telling me “thank you.” They don’t have to. They paid their dues over and over again for something that I might do on them. I’m going to hang on to this function or some other function that calls my parents for as long as I can.

Parent Says School Bus Sign Pushes Politics, Religion on Children

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Ark. – “Can you get in it?” Katie Urbany says as she loads her daughter into a park swing on a crisp afternoon in Mountain View.

You need to go higher?” Urbany says.

This sort of back-and-forth is expected in the swing set.

However, beyond the playground yet another back-and-forth is brewed.

“I saw that their bus had that sign on it” Urbany says.

She’s speaking about a signal that has been seen on two Mountain View public school trips last week.

They also read: “We stand for our flag. We kneel for the cross”

“I just didn’t feel it was right,” Urbany says.

She has three kids in the area.  

She thinks the bus sign shifted beliefs into driveway when they should’ve remained in neutral.

“The ‘We’ on that sign did not signify my kids,” Urbany says.

Urbany shared her picture on Facebook where remarks are still pour in.

Some agree with her. Other people concur with the sign.

“I feel that is all right,” one guy in city said Monday.

“I feel that is what people should do.”

Urbany is not against sharing beliefs on cars. A glance at her car demonstrates that. Political bumper stickers could be found across the rear of her vehicle.

However, for her, it comes down to whose ride it is and what is being shared.

” I just didn’t feel as though [the college bus sign] belonged in my kids’ bus,” Urbany says.

Mountain View superintendent Rowdy Ross declined an interview.

He says after getting telephone calls about indications on two buses, they had been removed.

He says that he does not know who put them out there.

As opinions and beliefs stay in motion, Urbany thinks some must stay in their lane.

She adds: “I would only love for them to become a little more mindful of that kind of thing”
