A jury has convicted Brian Scott Lorenz of murdering Deborah Meindl, a 33-year-old nursing student, in her Tonawanda, New York home in 1993. The conviction came following Lorenz's third trial in the case.

Meindl was killed in 1993 in the Buffalo-area community of Tonawanda. The case has spanned decades, with Lorenz facing multiple trials before his recent conviction.

The conviction represents the conclusion of a lengthy legal process that has stretched over 30 years since Meindl's death. Details about the previous two trials and the reasons they did not result in convictions were not immediately available.

Tonawanda is located in Erie County, near Buffalo in western New York. The case highlights the persistence of law enforcement and prosecutors in pursuing justice for violent crimes, even decades after they occur.
