Murder of Albert and Joan Musalo



On March 28, 2006, Joanne Kohls tried to call her parents at their home at a gated community in Montreux, Nevada just South of Reno. Albert and Joan Musalo typically kept in touch with their daughter daily, but in the last couple of days, she had not heard anything from them. The couple was in their 70's and their daughter feared that they may have had a power outage, so she called security at the gated community to go check on them. They knocked, but there were no answers.

Joanne not knowing what was going on decided to head over there herself with her husband. When she arrived she expected the power to either be out or both were sick. When they entered the home Joanne's heart dropped there was mud tracked in the house and she knew her mother to keep everything clean.

Joanne asked her husband to go to the master bedroom and check if they were there. Sadly the couple had been shot to death in their home. It was known that the couple was targeted, but for what reason is unknown. Whoever killed them cut the phone lines to the home before coming in and murdering them.

The muddied footprints were lead from and back to a walking trail just beyond their fence. There was male DNA found and ballistics on the bullets could make a match to a firearm.

The family is offering a $35,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible.
