48 Hours “Murder in the Parking Garage” October 4 2025 Recap & Preview
This Saturday, 48 Hours dives into a chilling, calculated crime in Hillsboro, Oregon, with an all-new episode titled Murder in the Parking Garage, airing October 4, 2025, at 10:00 PM ET/PT. Reported by Natalie Morales, the case unravels the fatal shooting of Kenneth Fandrich—and the trail left behind by a killer who tried to outsmart the system.
A Vanished Husband and a Deadly Discovery
The story begins when a worried wife calls 911 to report her husband, Kenneth Fandrich, missing. He had not returned home, and concern quickly turned to horror when police found his body inside his car, parked in a quiet corner of a corporate parking garage. As detectives arrived at the scene, the focus turned to the garage’s security system—damaged, but not completely disabled.
The Man in the Yellow Hard Hat
Security footage revealed a masked figure moving through the garage, wearing a yellow hard hat and carrying a can of blue spray paint. The individual sprayed over multiple surveillance cameras, but missed one crucial angle—giving investigators the lead they needed to begin unmasking the killer. That trail led them to Steven Milner, a man with ties to the veterinary world and a motive that would soon become disturbingly clear.
Inside the Investigation
Murder in the Parking Garage features in-depth interviews with the detectives who cracked the case: Detective Devin Rigo, Detective Stephanie Winter, and Detective Dayanna Mesch. Also featured is Lt. Meng Lin, the first law enforcement officer to arrive at the scene, who recalls the critical first steps of the investigation.
The episode also includes commentary from key figures in the courtroom, including prosecutors John Gerhard and Mahalee Streblow, and civil attorney Michael Fuller. Viewers will hear from veterinarian clients of Milner, Darlyn Robinson and Cheryl Choquette, who provide a glimpse into his background and behavior.
A Calculated Crime Caught on Camera
What sets this case apart is the level of planning. From disguises to tampering with surveillance systems, the killer believed he had thought of everything. But as 48 Hours reveals, one mistake—and one working camera—was enough to bring the truth into focus.
