2B Sun-Sentinel, Friday, May 5, 1989 BULLETIN BOARD LW man charged in stabbing death Compiled by Sandie Picciochi taw- Vljl Tr sexual battery in 1985 and spent 3li years in jail, detectives said. He was released in August and checked himself into a drug rehabilitation center in Indiantown, investigators said. Department of Corrections officials lost contact with him a few months later. Detectives interviewed Serrano days after the killing. They later tried to talk to him again about the death and arrest him for failing to contact his probation officer, but could not find him.

He resurfaced recently and turned himself in to state prosecutors, according to an arrest affidavit Lugar's two daughters could not identify Serrano through photos or a live lineup. Investigators and relatives said the girls were too traumatized by the killing to remember the attacker. Lugar, 28, was a devout evangelist and a member of Trinity Assembly of God Church in Lake Worth. She worked as a clerk at a Halsey Griffith office supply store in Lake Worth. By T.L STANLEY Sun Writer A Lake Worth man was arrested on Thursday after he admitted stabbing a woman to death in front of her two young daughters earlier this year, sheriff's investigators said.

He was being held without bond in Palm Beach County Jail on Thursday night Serrano is accused of breaking into Lugar's mobile home west of Boynton Beach, cutting the phone lines and slashing and stabbing her repeatedly as her daughters, ages 6 and 8, watched, according to sheriff's reports. The battle began in the bedroom of the trailer and ended on the front lawn, where Lugar's battered body was found early that morning. Investigators immediately suspected Serrano, who had broken into Lugar's home twice before.

West Palm to Dadeland LOOKING AHEAD Benefit auction set Dead tot' parents sue driver Family on bicycles struck by truck The parents of a baby killed on April 8 when a truck struck the bicycle he and his father were riding are suing the driver, whose blood-alcohol level was almost twice the legal level, according to the lawsuit, filed on Thursday in Palm Beach County Circuit Court. Daniel Robert Murphy was charged with vehicular homicide and manslaughter while driving under the influence in the crash that killed 9-month-old Jonathan Geoffrey Burdick. Murphy, who was convicted in 1983 of driving while intoxicated, was driving in Greenacres City with his headlights off on the night of April 8, police said. His truck smashed into the rear of two bicycles that John and Kathryn Burdick were riding, according to the arrest report. Jonathan was riding in a child's seat on his father's bicycle.

He was declared brain dead at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach shortly after the accident. John Burdick, 33, suffered minor injuries from the accident, but Kathryn Burdick, 29, remained at JFK Medical Center in Atlantis for six days. John and Kathryn Burdick, both teachers at Santaluces High School, are seeking to have Murphy pay medical bills and funeral expenses, as well as money that their son might be expected to earn in his lifetime, according to the suit. They also ask to be compensated for pain and anguish and loss of their son's companionship. The Burdicks also seek punitive damages.

Murphy was driving a truck owned by Ahrens Construction Development also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
