Gary was 20 years old, and barely an adult when he came home to his family home at 184th Street to find his father Archie laying in their driveway. It was a cold December day and he worried that perhaps his father collapsed while doing yard work. The truth was far worse…
Archie hadn’t just collapsed from some sort of heart attack or stroke, he had been stabbed. Someone had attacked Gary’s father, stabbing him four times in the chest and once in the groin for good measure. He immediately alerted Archie’s wife, Mary Ann, who though standing in the kitchen, hadn’t seen what happened…
The police arrived and began their investigation. Archie’s murder was particularly vexing from the onset. He was a non confrontational, decent human being who loved his family and worked hard at his job. So who would want to kill him? As it happened, they soon discovered there was one person out there with the motive.
After delving a bit into Archie and Mary Ann’s personal life, the police thought they had a pretty good idea who might have been involved in the violent attack. Their first and indeed only suspect was a man named Janos, who had been involved in a torrid affair with Mary Ann for the better part of several months…
Though they had been together for decades, Mary Ann and Archie McFarland had been having some troubles in their marriage. Mary Ann met Janos Kulcsar at an Alpine village. The handsome and charming man persistently asked her to dance, and before long, the two were an item.
Eventually, the three-year affair became less of a dirty little secret and more of a brutal reality. Mary Ann left her husband to live with Kulcsar, but soon found that the shine of her new man had worn off far quicker than the trust and love she’d built with her husband. She returned to work things out with her husband. Janos Kulcsar did not like ...
Mary Ann McFarland had ended the affair and came home. Things between she and Archie were being repaired, albeit slowly. That is, until Janos Kulcsar showed up at the house with a gun while she was out and confronted her husband in their living room. Mary Ann diffused the situation, but things continued to escalate after that.
Despite her and her husband’s protestations, Kulcsar continued to pursue her. Seven days before Archie McFarland was found dead in his driveway, he received a call from Kulcsar. The other man had been calling for his wife and so Archie told him, in no uncertain terms, “Go fly a kite,” and hung up on him. Kulcsar called back threatening Archie and s...
A week later and Archie McFarland was dead of five stab wounds. His children immediately blamed Kulscar, but Mary Ann could not be sure. Still, though he was the most likely suspect, police lacked any physical evidence of the murder. They arrested him of course, and when they did, they found his car hot and his clothes unusually wet. Both strange t...
Kulcsar had been arrested the morning of the slaying, in unusual circumstances, after having threatened the victim more than once, and providing a strangely inconsistent account of four different alibis for that morning. It seemed like an open-and-shut case, but proving he did it soon proved to be more tricky than police initially believed…
