MUSALO MURDERS UNSOLVED: COUPLE MURDERED IN OWN HOME
Share and Follow

Albert Musalo and his wife, Joan Behrman, are enjoying retirement in Nevada.

They moved close to their daughter, Joanne Kohls, and her family, settling in the exclusive gated Montreux neighborhood in a rural area south of Reno. While the country club community boasts multi-million-dollar homes, the Musalos chose one of the more modest houses on the block.

Joanne Kohls calls the Musalos’ landline, but the phone rings with no answer. She contacts Montreux’s security to check on them. The guard reports that no one answered his knocking. Joanne and her husband decide to check on her parents themselves. Joanne unlocks the front door and calls out for her parents.

She steps inside but freezes. Mud is tracked through the entryway and dining room. Joanne’s husband walks toward the primary bedroom and discovers Joan and Albert shot to death in their bed.

Detectives from the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office quickly arrive at the scene. There are no signs of forced entry, and nothing of value appears to be missing. Montreux’s HOA fees cover an extensive security team. A guard staffs the neighborhood’s front gatehouse 24/7, 365 days a year, while a service entrance is manned 12 hours daily. All visitors must provide identification and receive homeowner approval for access. Even contract workers must obtain daily entrance passes.

Investigators initially suspect the Musalos were targeted, but no one can explain why.
