Joan Musalo, 70, and her husband Albert were found murdered in their locked home in the gated Montreux community in Reno, Nevada, on March 28, 2006. Their daughter discovered the couple after failing to reach them for a couple of days; a security check had produced no answer and she used a key to enter. Both victims had been fatally shot and muddy tracks led to the master bedroom.

Investigators reported no forced entry and no obvious theft, but the couple’s phone lines had been cut, suggesting a planned attack. Footprints were observed in the snow outside a back fence bordering a hiking trail. The last known contacts were a furniture salesman around noon on March 27 and internet activity on one of their computers that night.

Authorities recovered DNA from an unknown male inside the house, and law enforcement believes the Musalos were specifically targeted; no clear motive has been established. The family has offered a $35,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction; the double homicide remains an unsolved cold case.

Did anyone who knew Joan and Albert or who lived near Montreux in March 2006 notice unusual visitors, footprints, or vehicle activity around the home?
