MIAMI — The son of the co-owners of Knaus Berry Farm has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of his mother — in addition to charges in the battering of his father, court records show.
Travis Grafe, 40, was originally charged with attempted premeditated murder and aggravated battery on a person 65 or older in the February 17 beating of his parents. That night police said Grafe beat his mother and father — Rachel and Herbert Grafe — with a flashlight over money disputes.
Last Sunday, Rachel Grafe died after a two-week hospital stay.
