Albert Musalo and wife Joan Behrman are enjoying retirement. to enjoy retirement in  Nevada.  Moving close to their daughter, Joanne Kohls,  and her family, the couple settles in the exclusive gated Montreux neighborhood in a rural area south of Reno. While the country club neighborhood boasts multi-million dollar houses, the Musalos move into one of the more modest homes on the block.

Joanne Kohls calls the Musalos’ landline, but the phone rings and rings with no answer. Joanne calls Montreux’s security to check on them. The guard reports back that no one answered his knocking.  Joanne and her husband decide to check on her parents themselves.   Joanne unlocks the front door and calls for her parents. She steps into the home but freezes.  There’s mud tracked through the entry way and dining room.   Joanne’s husband walks toward the primary bedroom and  finds Joan and Albert shot to death in their bed.  

The Musalos home is quickly crawling with detectives from the Washoe County Sheriff’s office. There is no sign of forced entry to the home, and nothing of value is missing.  Montreux's HOA fees cover a large security team for the neighborhood. A security guard mans Montreux’s front gatehouse 24/7, 365, and a service entrance is manned 12 hours a day. All visitors must provide identification to the security team and be approved by the homeowner for access to Montreux. Contract workers are even required to obtain entrance passes for each day they expect to be in and out of the neighborhood. 

Investigators initial thought is that the Musalos were targeted, but no one has any idea why.
