US- David J. Renz, a computer whiz, somehow cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet before carrying out a savage crime — stabbing a school librarian to death and raping a 10-year-old girl, cops said.
He faces murder, rape and kidnapping charges as authorities investigate the case.
Investigators were probing Saturday how 29-year-old David Renz, who was previously charged with possessing child pornography, managed to disable his monitoring device.
Renz, has already faced jailhouse justice in the wake of his sickening crime — suffering a broken nose in a prison fight.
Cops say Renz abducted 47-year-old Lori Bresnahan and the girl as they left a gymnastics class at a mall outside Syracuse late Thursday.
Renz followed the child out of the CNY Gym Centre about 9 p.m., authorities said.
He tied up Bresnahan and then raped the girl inside the Northern Mall parking lot in the town of Clay.
Then, he drove the woman’s car to a wooded area with both victims tied up inside.
The girl managed to escape while Renz was repeatedly stabbing Bresnahan, authorities said.
The girl was later found by a passing motorist. It was unclear how she escaped.
Renz was captured near the wooded area after the driver who found the girl told a 911 dispatcher he saw a man running from the scene.
