Forensic Detective Reveals Keith Caneiro's Last Texts to His Brother Hours Before Murder

"I'm done paying you moving forward. You are on your own." Keith Caneiro sent that text to his brother Paul on September 17, 2018. Two months later, Keith, his wife Jennifer, and their two children were found murdered in their burning Colts Neck mansion. Paul is charged with killing all four of them.

Today, a digital forensics detective walked the jury through months of text messages and phone calls between the brothers. The financial tension is undeniable. Keith accusing Paul of mishandling insurance payments. Paul asking for loans. Keith finally cutting off his brother's salary. But here's what the defense established on cross: Paul's phone never left his house that night. No incriminating searches. No threatening messages. No evidence of conspiracy with anyone. The prosecution has motive. Do they have proof?

📖 CASE BACKGROUND

November 20, 2018: Firefighters found Keith Caneiro, 50, shot five times on his front lawn. Inside the burning mansion: his wife Jennifer, 45, and children Jesse and Sophia, all stabbed. The children died from smoke inhalation.

Hours earlier, a fire broke out at Paul's home eleven miles away. Prosecutors call it a "ruse" to divert suspicion. The motive: Keith had discovered Paul stealing from their businesses and family trusts, and sent an email cutting off Paul's $225,000 salary the night before.

Paul Caneiro, 59, has been jailed without bail for over seven years. If convicted, he dies in prison.
