Murder Investigation Continues

Investigators in south New Jersey continue the search for evidence to support the murder case against Christopher Kornberger.

Kornberger, 19, is accused of stabbing and killing Krista DiFrancesco outside her Evesham Township home last year.

According to the prosecutor, Kornberger admitted to attacking four women, killing one of them. Investigators are continuing to look for more physical evidence to back up his alleged confession.

Investigators confiscated four vehicles from Kornberger's home. They are performing forensic analysis on all of the cars, looking for evidence in DiFrancesco's murder and at least three other attacks in the area.

Detectives said that they already found bloody clothes inside the Evesham Township home Kornberger shares with his family. They suspect Kornberger wore those clothes during a violent attack on Nancy Clark last November. She survived and helped lead police to Kornberger.

Police also seized several kitchen knives, which they suspect includes the weapon used in the same attack.

Within the next couple of days, investigators will begin dredging a nearby body of water to look for the knife used to stab DiFrancesco to death last May. They believe they have already found the remains of burned clothing Kornberger is suspected of wearing during the homicide.

Police also continue to search for evidence in two other attacks in Waterford, N.J. Both victims got away.

Kornberger is being held on $1.3 million bail. He was picked up in DiFrancesco's neighborhood just days before her murder. He told police that he was jogging. Police picked him up a number of times before arresting him last week.
