Description: The Caneiro brothers were supposed to be best friends. They were each other's best man. They talked every day. They built a business together. But prosecutors say one brother was bleeding the other dry — stealing from his life insurance trust, doctoring bank statements, living a $700,000 lifestyle funded by fraud. When Keith Caneiro finally demanded answers about missing money, prosecutors allege Paul responded by driving to his brother's Colts Neck mansion in the predawn darkness and executing the entire family.Keith was shot five times on the front lawn. Jennifer was shot and stabbed inside. The children — eleven-year-old Jesse and eight-year-old Sophia — were stabbed repeatedly. A detective testified that Sophia had a stab wound to her left eye. Prosecutors say both kids were still alive when the fire started. They died from smoke inhalation while bleeding out in their own home.Then, according to the state, Paul went home and set his own house on fire — with his wife and daughters inside — to make it look like both families were being targeted. When first responders arrived, the family was outside. Officers testified they were sitting in one of the family's cars, a Porsche. Calm. Composed. Giving statements.The evidence trail prosecutors have laid out is staggering: the murder weapon in his basement, DNA evidence on clothing, altered bank records, security footage showing him disabling cameras at 1:28 AM. This is a case about masks — the kind a man wears when he's pretending to be successful, and the kind that slips when the lie finally catches up.#PaulCaneiro #ColtsNeckMurders #MansionMurders #FamilyAnnihilator #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #KeithCaneiro #NewJerseyMurder #SiblingRivalry #MonmouthCountyTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
