Rigo, with the Hillsboro Police Department, had just learned about the discovery of a maroon minivan he believed contained evidence connected to the murder of 56-year-old Kenneth &#8220;Kenny&#8221; Fandrich, a contract pipe fitter. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 27, 2023, Kenny Fandrich was discovered in a parking garage at the Intel campus in Hillsboro. Police reviewed surveillance camera images and determined that Fandrich had been dragged into the minivan by a masked man. Police believed the killer had broken Fandrich&#8217;s neck and killed him inside the minivan, before staging his body back in the driver&#8217;s seat of his own vehicle. <\/p>\n<p>From evidence found at the scene, investigators believed the murder suspect tried to cover his crime by spray-painting multiple security cameras in the parking garage with blue spray paint.

Tanya Fandrich had worked for Milner at his vet clinic for years, and they had an affair, which Tanya Fandrich said was long over. Police found that Kenny Fandrich had filed several orders for protection against Milner, and that Milner had been warned by Hillsboro police officers to stop following Kenny Fandrich. Just months before Kenny Fandrich&#8217;s murder, Milner had been caught placing a tracking device on one of the Fandrichs&#8217; vehicles and was criminally charged. After several days of investigation, police arrested Milner and charged him with the murder of Kenny Fandrich. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/vengeful-veterinarian-eyed-in-oregon-mans-parking-garage-murder\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Vengeful veterinarian eyed in Oregon man&#8217;s parking garage murder<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">02:28<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once in custody, police were able to connect the minivan, and another vehicle, to Milner, who had left them at a Home Depot parking lot for long periods of time. <\/p>\n<p>To prove the case against Milner, investigators felt they had to find that minivan. &#8220;Because it&#8217;s the minivan that we believe was really our main crime scene \u2026&#8221; said Rigo. &#8220;We thought there was going to be forensic evidence \u2026 in that minivan.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Rigo and his partner, Detective Stephanie Winter, called the vehicles &#8220;burner cars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everybody kind of is more familiar with like a burner phone \u2026&#8221; said Rigo, &#8220;where you have a phone that&#8217;s not \u2026 traced to you but, you know, you can use it for what you need, get rid of it \u2026 Essentially, he did the same thing, but with a car.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The maroon minivan had been flagged at the Home Depot parking lot and the VIN number had been recorded.

That&#8217;s when he started racing to the scrapyard to see if they could retrieve the minivan, and the key crime scene evidence it may have held. But he was too late. When Rigo arrived and asked about the minivan, he was shown a video of the crime scene being picked up and smashed to pieces. &#8220;I was able to watch one of my key pieces of evidence be crushed and taken away,&#8221; said Rigo, &#8220;before my very eyes \u2026 exactly a week too late.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Discover how the investigation unfolded, and Milner&#8217;s defense at trial, on this week&#8217;s &#8220;48 Hours,&#8221; &#8220;Murder in the Parking Garage.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/kenneth-fandrich-steven-milner-oregon-murder-junkyard-evidence-48-hours\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detective Devin Rigo knew the clock was ticking as he raced to a metal scrapyard just north of Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49733,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[456,458,1583],"class_list":["post-49732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-48-hours","tag-murder","tag-oregon"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A minivan used in an Oregon murder is found at a junkyard.
