BUFFALO — A 50-year-old Buffalo woman has been arraigned before Erie County Court Judge David W. Foley on an indictment charging her with two counts of Murder in the Second Degree.

It is alleged that on June 23, 1983, Saundra Adams and an unknown accomplice broke into a home on Hastings Avenue in Buffalo and caused the death of 92-year-old Edmund Schreiber, a World War I veteran awarded a purple heart for injuries suffered in battle.

“Thanks to superior police work, the evidence trail of a heinous murder that went cold has led us to today,” says acting DA Michael J. Flaherty. “Even 33 years after the crime, we are committed to bringing the senseless death of a decorated serviceman to justice.”

Adams pleaded not guilty and was remanded to jail without bail.
