Man accused of beating girlfriend to death now charged in 2011 cold case

A New Jersey man has been charged in a cold case dating back to 2011, just days after he was charged with murdering another woman earlier this month.

Prosecutors say Daniel Brennan, 33, strangled his live-in girlfriend, Courtney Allen, while the two were living together back in 2011. Allen was pregnant at the time of her death.

Earlier this month, Brennan was charged in the death of 31-year-old Leann Flotrauer. Flotrauer was found dead in the Pitman, New Jersey home she had recently started sharing with Brennan.

Authorities say Flotrauer was beaten to death.

Brennan is now facing first-degree murder charges in both cases.
