Kathleen Flynn Case: 60 Guns Reportedly Found In Suspect's Home

NORWALK, CT — Marc Karun, the former Norwalk resident accused of murdering 11-year-old Kathleen Flynn more than 30 years ago, illegally stored 60 firearms, and thousands of rounds of ammunition, in his home in Stetson, Maine, according to federal authorities, reports WABI-TV in Bangor.

Karun was arrested by Norwalk police in June in connection with the cold case, and he also has been charged federally with illegal weapons possession. He appeared in court in Maine on Monday on the federal charges, and he is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Dec. 13 on the murder charge.

Authorities found the weapons — including more than a dozen rifles, and several dozen handguns — and more than 14,000 rounds of ammunition at the time of his arrest, writes the Stamford Advocate.

As a convicted felon, Karun was prohibited from owning firearms. Maine and federal authorities believe he bought them out of state and had them sent to his home in Stetson.

Karun is accused of strangling Flynn in September 1986, after he sexually assaulted her. He became a suspect within weeks of the incident, in part because he was accused of similar crimes the same year. Karun also was convicted of sexual assault in Derby two years after the Flynn murder, for which he served a decade in prison.

It took years for Norwalk police to be able to link him to the crime through forensic evidence.
