Gorgeous young mom found in her own bed, AXE embedded in her forehead: SOLVED

Three-year old Sara Krauseneck was home alone for hours. Her money  29-year-old, dead in her bed with an axe lodged in her head.  James Krauseneck, Cathy's husband,  returned from work, walking in on the grisly scene.  Forty years later, the retired business executive arrested for the 1982 murder of his wife. Police say James Krauseneck used the axe to hack his sleeping wife.  Krauseneck convicted in the case, but a surprising turn during his appeal.

The case stumped police for nearly four decades.
