Murder Story

Lee Van Glahn was involved in a series of murders between late 2001 and early 2002. His first known victim was Arlene Brumfield, whom he murdered on November 29, 2001. Van Glahn was charged with first-degree murder in the case. Prosecutors stated that he used twine to strangle her in a playground located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Reports indicated that Brumfield bit Van Glahn during the assault, and DNA evidence linked tissue found in her mouth to him. His blood was also found on her hand.

His second victim was Joanna Washington. She was killed in January 2002, and Van Glahn was later convicted of second-degree murder for her death. The details surrounding Washington's murder included suffocation. In February 2002, he attempted to rape a third victim, Angela Rogers. During his trial, Rogers identified Van Glahn as her attacker.

Throughout the investigation and trial, prosecutors presented evidence that Van Glahn targeted vulnerable individuals.

Following a two-week trial, Lee Van Glahn was found guilty on October 13, 2005, after the jury deliberated for just over an hour. He was sentenced to life in prison on November 15, 2005.
