A Falconer man recently indicted in connection to the 2014 disappearance and death of a city resident will not be held in jail as he awaits further court action.
During a detention hearing in Buffalo, a U.S. magistrate judge ruled Anthony Neubauer be released on conditions that include home incarceration and use of GPS monitoring. The 36-year-old village resident is facing a federal charge of kidnapping resulting in death, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison if convicted.
Neubauer is accused of kidnapping an individual identified only as “J.A.” on May 27, 2014. In a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York, Neubauer allegedly transported the victim from New York to Pennsylvania, resulting in the victim’s death.
“We’re thankful to the court for the time and consideration,” Neubauer’s attorney, Eric Soehnlein, told The Post-Journal. “Mr. Neubauer is happy to be home with his family while the case is pending.”
