Michael Marrapese is being held without bail at the ACI accused in the brutal murder of his former girlfriend Lauren Ise of Cranston. Ise was found dead in her Bayview avenue apartment in what a Cranston police officer described as the one of the most horrific crime scenes in the history of the city. One officer compared it to a “Craig Price”style crime scene of barbaric proportions. A police source( who asked not to be named) said “she was tough girl who was fighting for her life but the killer(s) had a knife and caught her while she was sleeping.” 

Lauren Ise told police she feared for her life.

Police refuse to say if they believe there was more than one killer but they feel confident the main killer was Michael Marrapese. The mother of Lauren Ise, Cheryl Palazzo, told the John DePetro Radio show that Marrapese accused Ise of destroying the ashes of his deceased mother while he was locked up in prison. Ise denied she had flushed the urn ashes down a toilet and blamed a brother of Marrapese for spreading that lie.

 Warning : Graphic content. A police source claims the words ” mother fucker” were carved into the dead body of Lauren Ise, a possible reference to the dispute over the ashes from the urn. Police say she was tortured, stabbed in the head with scissors while the apartment had “Charles Manson” type writings in blood written all over the walls. The killer also put a birthday candle in her behind(rear end) and wrote “happy birthday.”

Palazzo told DePetro her daughter fought for her life but was tortured and died a brutal death. Listen to the John DePetro Radio Show for the latest on the Cranston murder.
