Mercy Killing or Murder? Was Lorenz Kraus Delusional or Justifying Evil?
Lorenz Kraus said he did it out of mercy. But the facts — and his own words — suggest something much darker.
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, we dig into the psychology behind Kraus’s televised confession to killing both his parents and burying them behind their Albany home. He claims it was a "necessary act." Prosecutors say it was second-degree murder.
We dissect the possibility that Kraus is operating under a god complex — one where his need for control and righteousness overtook reality. His phrasing, posture, and tone in the CBS6 confession video offer clues, but they also raise disturbing questions:

We dissect the possibility that Kraus is operating under a god complex — one where his need for control and righteousness overtook reality. His phrasing, posture, and tone in the CBS6 confession video offer clues, but they also raise disturbing questions:
Did he kill his parents with their consent — or was that invented after the fact?- Is he mentally ill, or simply manipulative and calculating?
- What role did financial dependence and isolation play?
- And where does the line fall between assisted suicide and homicide with motive?
This isn’t just about murder — it’s about how people twist morality into justification. We analyze it all, in real time.
