Accused murderer had violent past
Friends of Helen Buchel couldn’t understand what attracted her to John Brown, the man charged with murder in the deaths of Buchel and her 12-year-old daughter.
“He seemed sneaky, and I knew he had a violent past,” said Kim Cascio — a childhood friend of Ms. Buchel’s — before Brown’s hearing Monday in Geneva City Court.
Brown, 35, of Manchester, was charged Friday with first-degree murder and a parole violation after the bodies of Ms. Buchel, 34, and her daughter, Brittany Passalacqua, were discovered in their upstairs apartment at 148 N. Main St. in Geneva.
One of the ways that parents can protect their children is to be hyper-vigilant about who they introduce into their child's life.
For a few bucks, we can get background checks on a new BF or GF. In this case, Helen Buchel even knew that Brown was a convicted felon, fresh out of prison, but she apparently chose to believe his song & dance routine, at least until recently.
Helen Buchel leaves behind a 15 yr. old son, who spent half-time with her and half-time with his father. My heart aches for this boy, who discovered the bodies.
