A former Brewster man has been found guilty yesterday for the murder of his daughter. 

Robert Honsch’s conviction stems from the death of Elizabeth Honsch. In September 1995, an unidentified female was found shot in the head and wrapped in sleeping bags and garbage bags in a parking lot in New Britain. Several days later, an unidentified female was found shot in the head in the Tolland State Forest in Massachusetts.  

In 2014, they were identified as Elizabeth and Marcia Honsch, the man's wife.  Robert Honsch was later found in Ohio remarried with children and living under the name of Robert Tyree.  He told family that Marcia and Elizabeth had gone to Australia ahead of him and he would be following them due to a job transfer.  Honsch fled to South Africa and came back to the United States years later. DNA and fingerprint evidence linked Honsch to the murder of his daughter.

Sentencing is scheduled for June 15th.
