Someone They Knew: Murderous Match

This week on On The Record, Cody Thomas breaks down three murder trials gripping courtrooms across the country. In Virginia, prosecutors say an affair with a family au pair led to a deadly plot inside a quiet suburb. In Washington state, a respected fire chief stands accused of killing his wife as investigators challenge his claim of a medical emergency. And in New Jersey, a man is on trial for allegedly slaughtering his brother’s family and setting fires to cover it up. From betrayal and greed to shocking allegations of premeditation, these are the cases everyone is watching — and we’re breaking them down, On The Record.

Evidence continues to mount against Paul Caneiro, accused of killing his brother's family amid alleged financial disputes before setting the New Jersey mansion on fire.

Juliana Magalhães said Brendan Banfield knew there would be an investigation, which is why he planned everything with the mindset that someone could potentially trace him back to the murders. Timothy Busfield has a detention hearing date set.

Julia Jenaé and her expert panel break down the crime scene evidence presented to jurors in the Brendan Banfield murder trial and what it could mean for the case.

Surveillance video shows Brendan Banfield at McDonald’s during the alleged murder plot, supporting the au pair’s timeline and testimony about the scheme.
