Farm youth who killed parents is committed to boys school
Gerald Krueger a 16 year old Waterloo farm youth who said he shot his parents to death because they treated him like a baby was committed to the State School for Boys at Wales for an indefinite term. He confessed to killing his father Roland 47 and mother Lillian 45 with a .22 rifle and hiding their bodies ten days prior in a plan formed over two years. The Juvenile Court Judge Charles E. Kading ruled him a delinquent and refused adult murder charges, making him a ward of the State Welfare Department to be confined until 21 with possible release or a two year extension afterward.
