The Woodchipper Killer
https://patch.com/connecticut/newtown/richard-crafts-wood-chipper-killer-released-prison
NEWTOWN, CT — Richard Crafts, who became known as the "woodchipper killer" in the 1986 death of his wife, has been released to a halfway house and is due to be freed later this year, according to state Department of Correction officials.
Crafts, who is now 83, was released Saturday to a halfway house in Bridgeport and has remained in compliance with his release conditions, said Karen Martucci, director of external affairs for DOC. Before that, he was incarcerated at maximum-security prisons and spent most of the past three decades at the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield and the Cheshire Correctional Institution.
Police said Crafts killed his wife, Helle Crafts, then shredded her frozen remains using a wood chipper. A witness reported seeing a woodchipper being used in Newtown between 3 and 4 a.m. in November 1986. Police said they searched the area and found pieces of bone, tissue and other small bits of human remains.
