Security video helps lead to a masked killer who tried to hide the crime

Security camera footage played a pivotal role in helping investigators identify a masked suspect in a perplexing homicide case that occurred at an Intel facility in Hillsboro, Oregon. The investigation focused on the death of Kenneth "Kenny" Fandrich, a 56-year-old contract pipe fitter found deceased in a parking garage in January 2023.

You know, I just thought that it's a wild case.

Detectives Stephanie Winter and Devin Rigo of the Hillsboro Police Department were called to the scene after Fandrich's wife, Tanya, reported him missing when he was late returning home. She had tracked his location to the Intel parking lot. Upon arrival, officers found Fandrich unresponsive inside his vehicle, with minimal signs of struggle or blood, leading to initial confusion about the circumstances of his death.

She was very monotone … in the way she was speaking.

During the investigation, detectives interviewed Tanya Fandrich, who was present at the scene when police arrived. Detective Dayanna Mesch noted that Tanya's demeanor seemed unusually monotone and detached, prompting some suspicion. However, Mesch acknowledged that grief manifests differently and avoided drawing immediate conclusions. The investigation is ongoing, with the security video footage being a key piece of evidence in identifying the perpetrator.

Everybody grieves differently … it just was different than other victims I've seen …
