Security video helps lead to a masked killer who tried to hide the crime
Dr. Steven Milner, a well-respected Oregon veterinarian, was accused of stalking and disguising himself before murdering Kenny Fandrich — the husband of a former employee. Security cameras played a key role in how detectives pieced the case together.
In January 2023, detectives Stephanie Winter and Devin Rigo of the Hillsboro Police Department received an unusual homicide case in Oregon. The victim, Kenneth Fandrich, 56, was a contract pipe fitter at Intel, a major tech company with production facilities in Hillsboro. Kenneth's wife, Tanya, reported him missing when he was late to return home one evening after nine.
Surveillance footage revealed a man in a hard hat and red-mirror tinted glasses had sprayed-painted cameras around 7 a.m. on the day of the crime. Tanya had tracked her husband to the Intel parking lot, where police found him dead in a garage. The body was found monotonous by Tanya, who appeared out of touch. Investigators discovered the masked man had grabbed Kenneth, still holding onto his keys, and dragged him into a maroon van.
Kenneth's body was staged in his black Honda Civic, which he had left at work around 3:21 p.m. The murder weapon was his broken neck, with blunt and compressive trauma. Kenneth's laptop and work bag were left in the van, which had an older maroon Dodge van with no front plate. The case was solved by analyzing surveillance footage and piecing together the events surrounding Kenneth's murder.
