[Music] crime you [Music] [Music] a violent murder takes place in a large home that sat empty and
Silent the home is located at the very end of a quiet street a road that sees no thre through
traffic in fact the road here in this case officially titled Lane to give it that certain neighborhood charm dead
ends and then splits off into two long driveways at the end of Chelsea Lane if one were to go to the left they would
travel a driveway that extends approximately 500 ft and then you would be standing right in front of 21 49
Chelsea Lane if one were to go right instead of left well then you would travel a
driveway that extends approximately 200 or so feet up the driveway and now you are standing in front of
2147 Chelsea Lane inside of this single family four-bedroom home a successful woman and mother at the very top of her
game was murdered there as The Story Goes she was there on that rainy day to meet a prospective
client that opportunity sadly turned into the woman's tragic demise instead of Landing a buyer for
the home that sat quiet and empty the successful saleswoman met her death in the middle of a secluded
neighborhood in an area where at the time crime consisted of traffic violations and child
pranksters was the killer someone she knew or a complete stranger the killer remains unknown more
than 25 years later some of the very important details in this case remaining mystery as well
unknown to all of us all of these years later a realtor was found shot and strangled and throughout most most of
the investigation the authorities were almost as mysterious as the murder itself refusing to divulge the time of
death the caliber of gun used and the important details that their investigation would
uncover was it necessary to keep this information secret over 25 years later and where the
case sits today is firmly in the unsolved and open filing cabinet she was killed on a rainy workday on that
Thursday afternoon by someone out there and for reasons that remain unknown as well it was not about looking at the
home it was not about contemplating one of life's biggest purchases it was what turned into
preventing a lovely lady from going home that day why what was the motive from everything that I can see this is a
cold case and as our longtime listeners know all too well cold cases present many investigative
challenges there is no perfect investigation regardless of the jurisdiction or the law enforcement
entity conducting the investigation but as we all know there is no perfect murder and this murder
certainly is not the exception to that rule during the course of a murder investigation means and opportunity are
often easily determined the motive for murder is more elusive means and opportunity are some
of the best dividing factors when separating the suspects from all other possibilities in this case I believe the
motive could separate the prime suspect from all others this is the still un solved
homicide case of Charlotte Fano and this is true crime [Music] garage you you [Music]
[Music] as the Morning Call newspaper put it it didn't matter that the house on Chelsea
Lane stands in the middle of a secluded neighborhood in a location where crime is akin to speeding citations and
vandalism rather than murder but 40-year-old Charlotte Fano was killed there anyway this is in the heler toown
lower Sak Township area of Pennsylvania so not terribly far from New Jersey and just east of Allen town and Bethlehem
two larger cities in Pennsylvania this is a murder that took place on Thursday September 11
1997 this is a cold case that is very solvable in my opinion and you know how much we love to be able to put those
words together in such close proximity Charlotte Fano was born Charlotte Christie Edinger in 1957 to
parents Donald and Anna May Edinger at the time of the murder in 1997 Charlotte was married and was the
mother of one her husband is Christian Fano and her daughter is chrisy Everett fana her daughter Christie is older
she's grown up she's a senior in college still living at home with Mom and her stepdad who from my understanding raised
her as his own and 1997 Charlotte was a very successful realtor in fact she had been quite successful in this line of
work pretty much from the time that she started in the business she worked for wer realtors in Bethlehem for about 10
years and I do want to give a little bit of clarification here Captain wer is a a
larger company they have several offices in fact she worked at the Easton office
for many years before transferring to Bethlehem to that location where she had only been for about a year year and a
half prior to the murder so she worked for wer for about 10 years and then as said only about a year and a half at the
Bethlehem office she was a member of their million-dollar sales Club a repeat member I think that's a an annual club
or annual award that they give out in 1990 Charlotte was named woman of the year by the American businesswoman's
Association Starburst chapter now an overview of the case is pretty much the same as the information that was
released in the early goings of this investigation early on the information was coming out from primarily three
sources the coroner a detective and a fellow realtor so let's go through the overview
and include all of the known early information and after that we will see if we can add some additional details
there are some very interesting theories here and while we don't have any publicly named suspects I think we will
be able to conjure up a few to discuss and see if the puzzle pieces fit early on law enforcement was very tight lipped
on what they were sharing with the public in this investigation it makes you wonder what they were finding out
and when they were finding it out because they would start to release some other information as this investigation
would drag on but let's go to the beginning okay so one of the more well-known headlines here in this case
is from a Saturday September 13th 1997 newspaper the morning call out of Allentown Pennsylvania the headline
reads Bethlehem realtor found slain in lower s home for sale immediately one's mind starts to fill in the blanks this
information is from the Northampton County corner Zachary Lasik telling us that the realtor Charlotte Fano age 40
who lived on Allen Street in Bethlehem Township died from a gunshot wound to the head and
strangulation he very quickly ruled the death a homicide however he would not release the suspected time of death or
the caliber of gun used in the murder Charlotte's body was found just after 710 a.m. on Friday February 12th the
police also would not confirm nor comment if Charlotte went to the property to meet a client or a
perspective buyer later we would get some better clarification as to what their investigative efforts would
uncover but as anyone can understand in the early stages the detectives are going to be looking to see if they can
confirm who was the last person she was with why was she there and who was she meeting with and here they don't want to
show their hand right this is a Pennsylvania State Police Case by the way a state police
investigation they may not want the person to know that they are able to identify or have a lead on who that
person may be that she was going to meet so that's why you keep that secret the manager of the wer office
where Charlotte worked out of did talk to the newspaper as as well so this is the manager her name is Marcy Carter she
fills in some more details from which we learned that Charlotte Fano was reported
missing right around midnight on Thursday remember the body was recovered the following morning Friday after 7
a.m. and the newspaper that is giving out the first details of the case is from that Saturday September 13th her
co-workers describe Charlotte as Plucky and aggressive the manager of the w office Marcy Carter says quote everyone
is so sad and that Charlotte was well-loved and the real estate firm is offering
$100,000 a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the person responsible for
Charlotte's death Marcy tells the newspaper that Charlotte's husband Christian was the one to report her
missing around midnight on Thursday the night before her body was found the home where she was found was listed
for sale and was vacant at the time now it said the police were not going to comment on if Charlotte went to the home
to show the place to a prospective buyer and Marcy very wisely did not want to jam up their
investigation so she didn't comment on that either however the newspaper reporters Kathleen Parish Denise Seaman
and Phil Bole were doing some dogged investigative work themselves and discovered that the Lehigh Valley Board
of realtorss left voicemail messages for area members one to inform them of Charlotte's murder and two to warn them
warning them to be extra careful when showing properties so law enforcement is being very tight lipped to the public
but then we have these realators coming out saying hey hey we have to be careful
because we don't know if this is going to be a repeat of event if this is somebody targeting real estate agents so
let's let's dive into a couple events on the timeline yeah before we get into the
crime scene details I think there are some important times to highlight on this timeline remember around midnight
on Thursday September 11 Christian Fano reports his wife Charlotte missing to the authorities at 7:10 a.m. on Friday
her body is found at the for sale res residence 2147 Chelsea Lane there was a news conference with members of the
State Police that same Friday night at this conference the police stated that Charlotte was reported missing when she
failed to return home from work they also stated that that what they would refer to as an anonymous 911 call came
in Friday morning directing police to the 2147 Chelsea Lane PR property they go out there immediately after getting
this 911 call in fact there's indicators that the police were at the property in
about 10 minutes time after receiving that call there they find Charlotte's vehicle parked in the driveway the body
is then discovered inside the home the body is then removed from the scene at 11:30 a.m. taken to Easton Hospital
where the autopsy was conducted later we're going to learn that Charlotte was shot twice and strangled
and it was ligature strangulation meaning that she was strangled with an object not someone's
hands right at the time police would not say what room in the house that the body
was found and from my understanding Captain there's been some speculation thrown out there and there's been a
source at least one source says that she was found at the top of a stairs I was trying to figure out if this home had a
base or not because top of the stairs could mean second floor or ground level I want I want to be straight up here
that that's not information that we've been able to confirm and it's also information that I don't believe has
been publicly released by the police themselves and you said there's gunshot wounds and strangulation do we know if
she was strangled and and then shot or shot then strangled we don't but when we get to our speculation to our suspects
and to our theories portion I'm going to I'm going to have some comments on and thoughts on that those actions that that
we know did take place well we know you're never short of comments so police are saying that she's shot twice manual
strangulation at the time again they won't say what room inside the home that the body was found they will not comment
on the condition of the body the caliber of gun that was used or what was used to
strangle her and would not comment on possible suspects they did say that police recovered some of Charlotte's
personal items at the residence and did not know if anything was missing at this
time they did say that they set up a command post at a nearby driveway they lined the streets of the neighborhood
with cop cars blocked off a two block area of the neighborhood searched the neighborhood especially all wooded areas
near the home maintained that post until late in the afternoon and recovered no weapon the state police captain Theodore
kouth said police do not have a motive for the murder now this is this is all very interesting here to me Captain
because not only are they keeping it tight lipped but what we do know what we can decipher from what they are saying
is that they recovered no weapon so one we know that they were searching the area they very likely were searching
for the gun itself wondering if maybe somebody ditched the gun tossed the gun on their way out of the neighborhood or
if the killer lives in the neighborhood on a retreat back to their own residence
and there's two weapons that we're looking for law enforcement is looking for one a gun and two some object that
would be used for this triangulation and we always talk so much here in the garage about transfer Theory
and transfer Theory to me it's not a theory it's a real thing and it's a very investig very great investigative tool
transfer theory is the simple thought that a killer likely leaves something at a crime scene knowingly or
unknowingly and the killer also will take something from the crime scene with him or her knowingly or unknowingly this
can be any form of physical evidence could be a weapon what have you what what's really interesting to me here
when we talk about this of course they're going to be searching the wooded area for a gun of course they're going
to be searching the neighborhood for the gun but as you bring up Captain Li ature
strangulation we know that she was strangled with an item a rope a cord a wire what have you this makes me really
wonder if that item came from inside the home or they had reason to believe that
that item would have come from inside of the home one obvious sign of that to police would be if somebody used a phone
wire or phone cord taken from one of the phones inside the murder house and out of the two weapons being left to me I
would think it's more likely that you'd leave the weapon that was used as a strangulation device because that
possibly wouldn't have as many ties back to that individual as much like a firearm would yeah especially if that
item came from inside the home again they could have recovered that item from inside the home and just flat out lie to
the newspapers I don't believe that to be the case here and we can go through that more when we get to the suspects
but again think about this scenario it's it's a vacant home it sat vacant for some time and she is there and I know
that that we're saying early on that police won't say the firm that she worked for won't say that she was there
to meet a potential client or if she was meeting somebody she knew or didn't know
that's all well and good but you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out that she's in the business of selling
homes this home is for sale and we know at least one other person was there with
her because the killer was there with her so it's not much of a leap early on and later we would in fact learn that
that was the case that she was there under the ruls of showing the home to a prospective buyer a lot more details to

upwards cheers mates cheers to you Colonel I say upwards and onwards cheers to you Captain all right Captain here's
the thing one key player in this murder investigation of course is going to be the crime scene the murder house the the
home that was listed for sale and to me this is what is so intriguing about this
case this is one of those added elements that you don't get in other murder investigations right the the home does
not belong to the person that was killed there and as far as we can see I don't think
there's any reason to believe that the home belonged to the person that owned it or the the killer owned the home and
that would seem like a pretty quick fix for law enforcement to solve this case and here we sit 25 more than 25 years
later with an unsolved case so let's go through that key item here that home and
what we do know about that home so this house was owned by Gary Peters and he is from my understanding
or was at the time a successful dentist that lived in a neighboring City or not too terribly far away from where this
home was MH uh I don't know why they moved out of the home from everything I could see this is a was a beautiful home
but you know people people go through separations maybe he wanted to live closer to his practice uh there's any
number of reasons why this IND individual or his family would have moved out of the home but obviously if
you're in law enforcement you have to vet anybody that owns the home correct because one they they would have access
to the home and to the property right and so you're you're looking for a suspect here and you're also going to be
going through what you find on your victim in her car or inside that residence that she brought with her to
help lead you to a suspect and we'll get into some of that here in a minute we do know per police they did
say we did recover some of her belongings inside the residence and we did find her vehicle parked in the
driveway out front of the home now one thing we need to be very clear here on and we talked about this a little bit in
the trailer today is this house is very secluded we did talk about it being in a
neighborhood but it's kind of On The Fringe of that neighborhood and this would be an ideal place for many
people to live because you at this location in 1997 and if you look up this on any map
app you will still see this today this home in property offers the feel of like country living secluded Retreat country
type living but you would have all the amenities of living in a city you know you're nearby all of your places to work
it would be a short commute to schools or to to work but you would also feel like you're kind of out in the middle of
nowhere so the property's actually I I seen it listed multiple different ways and that is because we talk about
the house being vacant it had been listed from as far as I could see starting in January of
1997 Charlotte Fano is killed in this home in September of 1997 and the home the listing would
typically run in the Sunday newspaper and it would give a price and a description and it had run fairly
regularly during the months that it was for sale and some of the listings would say
over three acres well the the the closest I get could get to an exact specifications on the the the dimensions
of this property several of the listings say 3.5 acre lot and several say 3.6 acre lot
so you can tell from that that you have this country feel living but with all the amenities of the city the other
thing too is the positioning of this property on the road itself as we talked about in the trailer you would have to
go one would have to go to the dead end of Chelsea lane and then from there it splits off into two driveways and both
of these driveways are not only lengthy but they're leading to large properties so the one of the best listings that I
could find it's it's a little short here but um it said that this home had a uh indoor Jacuzzi or hot tub several
fireplaces has a great view again over 3 Acres lot it was listed this is another
interesting little tip bit here Captain this home was listed with wer Realtors but it's not listed by Charlotte Fano
she's not the listing agent right in 1997 Sharon Adams is the listing agent uh who also works for wer realtorss yeah
so I don't know a ton about the real estate business or being a real estate agent but if you're the listing agent
you're responsible obviously for the contracts for staging the house if it's going to going to be staged for the
photographs that are taken it being listed and the details in which it's listed so as far as what Charlotte is
doing is mainly she's just going to be showing that to clients yeah so it's very common for to have two people both
parties represented the the seller is often represented by a real tour unless it's a fsbo right for sale by owner or
and you also have the buyer who is typically represented by a real tour now if you are a first-time home buyer do
not know much about the housing market and you are looking for a home and you're thinking well I'll just go It
Alone no get a real tour because you as the buyer do not pay any commissions to the realtor the seller always pays the
commissions so you get free advice free advisory uh on your big decision on on making one of the biggest purchases of
your life so right but what's weird here and and I think a lot of people are going to latch onto this rather quickly
could we have a scenario where the listing agent gets upset with Charlotte for showing her
listed property right the the listing agent would get 100% commission 100% of the
commiss commission if the buyer is not represented by a realtor mhm so it does cut into their money however they don't
lose the commission they split the commission with the buying with the buyer realtor so back in 1997 you know
commissions have changed over the decades I don't know what they would have been in this area in 1997 I'm
guessing what was popular here in the late 90s was between like a 4 and 6% commission right so if you're splitting
that two ways it's it's two each 2 and A2 each three each somewhere in that neighborhood so this property as said
was listed for approximately 8 to n months before the murder takes place it was eventually sold even after the
murder I don't recall when but they did drop the price over the course of that time period that it's sat and did not
sell it was originally the first price that I could find listed here Captain was for
$279,000 and at the time of the murder it was listed at a selling price of $259,000 now why is that important
because again we are talking about people's livelihoods people that are in the business of working off of
commission and so it is important to know that this at the time in 1997 in this area this is considered to be a
higher end property to have as a listing also a higher end property to be showing to a potential buyer yeah I
understand that but it's not like you're cutting out their commission completely
so it just seems like a kind of a weak motive to be looking at the listing agent as a possible suspect and I think
that this case is rather complicated and I think that the part of the complications involved in this case is
again going back to the motive motive is elusive in many of these investigations in fact there's
often times where a case will go to trial and you will get a conviction and still nobody is certain of what the
exact motive was here in this case I really believe that if you could figure out the motive then you could separate
your Prime Suspect from all these other people that are just kind of jamming up your investigation right the the listing
agent is somebody you should look at why they would have reason to cut somebody out but like you said it's not a it's
not you don't have to make much of a leap to get to the listing agent and to start looking at that person yeah I
think it like I said it's a very weak motive and you have to look at the owner of the property because they have access
so the same goes for the listing agent because they have access to the property as well the other thing we should keep
in mind as well is that really truly because the property is listed with with her real estate firm anybody that works
for that real estate firm would have access to that home right and to that property now we do know that you know
today often you will see the lock boxes on the the doors that will you punch in a code and every realtor has a a very
specific unique code to get that key out and unlock the the home in this case from my understanding I don't know if
there was a lock box but what I do know is that at the real estate office where they worked there was a key there and
this is interesting so this is how we're going to we got to start filling in some
of the blanks here because there's some really interesting phone calls that take
place and it would take a very long time for police to release this information and in fact some of the information ends
up coming out from her real estate office so at the time there's approximately a little more than 50
people that work at this office it's located about 5 and 1 half to 6 miles away from the listed property what they
did back then and I'm sure this is fairly common in different lines of work where you're
primarily paid in commissions what they did was they would have a ation where you would get the you would
be the person that would be assigned the cold calls right so what this is is calls that would come in or people that
would potential clients that would drop into the the building unannounced with no appointment
scheduled and from my understanding Captain they actually had two agents that would do this task for a one for a
one week period to many that have never worked in in a line of work where you're
paid solely on commission you would think oh well this is annoying busy work who would want to do that you'd want to
keep all of your appointments well I think that's why they would assign two agents so that if you did have some
appointments you could keep them and make arrangements with the other agent so that there was always somebody to
answer the phone and also somebody to greet any walk-ins that they may have and in fact if you work on commissions
you you want to catch this task periodically because this is an opportunity for you to get new
clients by them just calling in or just walking into the office so from my understanding Captain Charlotte and
another agent were put put on this task for that week now remember we know the murder takes place on a Thursday and the
body's found on a Friday it's been reported that the appointment if you want to let's call it an appointment but
it's kind of a happened it's kind of a last minute appointment right she catches this
appointment by answering the phone that week so she's answering the phone for the office that week a call comes in the
day before the murder and I hate I'm going to I'm going to go be straight up with everybody right now because I think
there's some devil in the details here and the problem is the details are a little shaky right and part of that is
because police have not released information and still haven't all these years later the the details that are
shaky is that one it seems across the board everybody agrees that the call came in the day before that somebody
called and said hey I want to see this property I could be there tomorrow at 100 p.m. that's the way that it's
reported most of the time we're going to dive into that a little bit more but let's stick with that for now okay
Wednesday Charlotte receives a cold call she writes down this individual's name writes down the property and agrees
to meet them there at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday okay I I have a question yes sir so when she is getting this call is
this coming into her own private line or like a line that's dedicated towards her
or is it just coming in to the real estate company and she just happened to be the one that answered the phone all
indicators are was that this was not a call that where somebody asked for Charlotte Fano or that somebody was
calling her direct line every every Source says that she was working these cold calls along with another agent and
that's how this appointment was set up yeah because if you want to Target Charlotte right I'd go well what
listings does Charlotte have I'll set up appointment to see one of those houses so I can make sure I'm getting my target
I think there's evidence to show that that possibly the person didn't care who who showed up to show them the house
right and here here's the other problem with this information okay this I believe this information to be good
information the problem is it's not detailed enough again the devil is always in the details right the
information is that she catches this cold call that comes in and she agrees to meet an individual the following day
at one p.m. out at this property and the thing here though is when you start looking at source
information the sources report this differently several sources state that the caller a male caller called asking
to see a secluded vacant property now we don't know the details of that conversation and I don't believe for a
second that that conversation was one or two sentences long I I think this was probably a lengthier conversation
because a good salesperson and which what do we know about Charlotte she was a great
salesperson is going to try to get as much information from the potential buyer their potential client as possible
and so we don't know the details of that conversation but again several sources are saying that the male caller asked to
see a vacant secluded property okay so tell me if I'm crazy doesn't seem to me that this
killer is choosing his victim but he's choosing the location the location seems to be more important
well that could also go along with the other the other source information the other source information is very
different to me it says that the male caller was asking specifically about this property right
2147 Chelsea Lane but to me Captain those are two very different conversations right if if somebody calls
and says I want to look at 2147 Chelsea Lane that means they are aware of a couple things they're aware of the
property and they're aware that it's for sale and in this case we now know that there's a murder there then they also
knew that it was vacant now this doesn't mean that anybody has to have a great knowledge of this real estate company
their firm and their listings I mean they could have just seen this property in the newspaper on a Sunday and decided
to drive out there and go yeah that that the paper says it's vacant and that looks pretty secluded right so it could
be a complete stranger and you're right it could be somebody that's not targeting Charlotte at all just
targeting female realtor but the problem here is again the other source information saying that the maale caller
asked to see a vacant secluded property which sounds very nefarious right it sounds like why wouldn't Charlotte pick
up on oh this is probably not a great appointment to take I have a male caller who wants to see a vacant secluded
property it's the conversation the the caller likely would never have called up and said yo I want
to see a vacant empty secluded property they probably had a conversation where the the it's a ruse where the caller
says you know I'm looking for something that's kind of out of the way I don't like to be in a busy neighborhood um I
also want something that I can move into right away also means vacant right right
um so that that seems like a much less nefarious conversation again I don't have any I
don't fault any of this Source material because a lot of it's coming from newspapers and and and very good
newspapers at that but it's reported two different ways and I think that to me anyway I think that that separates some
of the theories and some of the possibilities in the case if perpetrator was calling specifically about a
property and giving the address versus oh this is what I'm kind of looking for and she she would have pointed out she
would have known about this property it's listed with her firm right she may have suggested it so that's a little bit
tricky so we have that phone call that takes place everything says that that phone
call takes place on Wednesday we don't know what details police were able to decipher from the notes that she took
from that phone call other than they have said that they did have a name in her appointment
book and it sounds to me like they've confirmed that that is a fictitious name now that's Wednesday so Thursday
she goes out and shows the property and again the appointment is for 100 p.m. this is information that has come from
the real estate firm and I believe later police have confirm this but I I want to
get into why I have a problem with the timeline too especially on this Thursday now some more details here captain that
are are very interesting Christian Fano and his wife Charlotte Fano obviously they live together but
remember the daughter lives there as well Christy lives there and from my understanding at this point starting in
August of that year her boyfriend lives with them chrisy is a senior in college so she's
grown Christian Works a not so typical work schedule he works 10hour days around 6 or 7 p.m. on
Thursday the day in question Christy the daughter calls her stepfather Christian
at work and says you know it's 6:30 it's 7:00 p.m. mom's not home yet this is a little weird usually she's home by now
and from my understanding while this woman stayed very busy with her work and she was an extreme professional and
extremely good at her sales job she was also very much a creature of habit once her work was done she was an at home
person she was a home buy yeah you can work hard and play hard and you can also not play hard and just sit at home yeah
the playing hard could be uh work hard relax hard that's right so Christian says to chrisy on the
phone you know I understand your concern but also keep in mind when when you work
in the sales business if you want to be really good at it your schedule is whatever your client schedule
is if a potential buyer can only go and look at a home at 700 p.m. on a Thursday
well if you want to be successful you better take that 7 P.M appointment and Christian and Charlotte have been
together for well over a decade they I think they got married in in the early 80s like
8081 and so this is 1997 he says to Christy you know she's probably just out on a late appointment
showing a house to potential buyer or maybe she's taking a listing I'm sure it's nothing and I'm sure she'll be home
soon okay so that phone call ends Christian gets home from work after a little after 11:30 this is why the
missing persons report comes in so late he gets home and his stepdaughter Chrissy's like she's still not here okay
now Christian's concerned so he calls into police just before midnight shortly after arriving home hey my wife is
missing and an interesting thing too about this line of work Realtors are not like
completely unknown in their towns right you you're used to sometimes you'll see their their
face and name on their listings on the signs in front of the properties and it's not uncommon too to see their names
and faces on billboards yeah or in the newspaper in the newspaper exactly yeah or on urinal cakes my favorite we have
this person who's now missing she's officially missing reported missing so by her family I found this detail to be
very strange because you know that I love the anytime that there's a communication from a killer or Anonymous
person to the media or to law enforcement remember it's reported that an anonymous call comes in to 911 on
Friday morning that leads them to that property where they ultimately find her car and then her body that call actually
while it's listed as Anonymous in the newspapers I think they may have done this for safety concerns that 911 call
actually came from her husband so what he does Captain is very early Friday morning he starts calling her office and
other people that she worked with and he's like look she didn't come home last night I reported her
missing we think that this might be work related and whoever gets to the office rather early they able to determine a
couple things one that the key for 2147 Chelsea Lane is still gone from their keyboard and two it was Charlotte Fano
that was scheduled to show that property I have a question do you know if there was other properties that were pulled to
show this individual or was it just this house because sometimes when you're looking for a house the real estate
agent will take you to multiple properties from my understanding this was the only property that she was
showing to this caller mhm so police armed with this information they now drive out to that property and
immediately again they find her vehicle then they find her dead inside those all
those phone calls are very important it shows some movement and communication and an appointment set up
by the likely killer right the the person that called and set up the appointment does doesn't 100% have to be
the killer but would seem to be the most likely of persons to be responsible for
the [Music] [Music] mder want to thank each and every one of you for joining us here in the garage
and until tomorrow be good be kind and don't litter [Music]
