Michael Kornacki, 61, was found dead on October 10, 2018, in his unit adjoining the office at the Crest Inn and Suites in Wilton, New York. State Police who responded to what was first reported as an unattended death determined Kornacki had likely been deceased for several days and that the circumstances were suspicious.

Kornacki lived a largely solitary life and worked as a self-employed driller who repaired pumps and drilled well points. A Colonie High School graduate who spent most of his life in the Schenectady area, he was described by those who knew him as honest and hardworking and was often visited by his daughter.

Investigators determined Kornacki died from a gunshot that came through the wall from a neighboring room. The probe identified a suspect, Daniel A. Salas Miranda, who was arrested; Miranda later pleaded guilty and was sentenced for causing Kornacki’s death.

Does anyone have information about Michael’s time at the Crest Inn and Suites or the days before October 10, 2018?
