The death of Erika Kraus-Breslin included all the requisite components of this story — the 85-year-old died months ago, and her corpse remained rotting in her Queens home until this week. Fuhrer moved into his grandmother’s two-story house on a tree-lined, dead-end street in Queens many years ago, when she was still alive. Neighbors had noticed as much, they told CBS, and then about five months ago, they no longer saw her walking around the neighborhood. When they arrived at the house, Fuhrer answered the door and brought them to the second floor. Fuhrer told the police that he added layers as the smell emanating from the corpse continued to worsen, the Associated Press reported.
