320. The Masked Killer - The Murder of Kenneth Fandrich

This episode of Murder With My Husband dives into the chilling case of Kenneth Fandrich, a 56-year-old Oregon man murdered in his car at the Intel campus in Hillsborough in January 2023. The podcast explores how Fandrich’s life was consumed by years of relentless stalking and harassment from his wife Tanya’s former lover, Stephen Milner, a respected veterinarian with a carefully constructed public persona. After a brief affair in 2017, Milner became obsessed with Tanya, escalating from anonymous letters and phone calls to physical stalking, including placing GPS trackers on Fandrich’s vehicles, breaking into their home, and even army crawling through their yard. Despite multiple restraining orders and police warnings, Milner continued his campaign of terror. On the day of the murder, he spray-painted security cameras at the work site and used a maroon minivan to conceal his identity. Surveillance footage captured the van parked near Fandrich’s car, and forensic evidence later confirmed Stephen’s DNA on Fandrich’s hands. Milner was arrested, charged with second-degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison with parole after 25 years. The episode reflects on the devastating ripple effects of obsession, the danger of hidden psychopathy, and the tragic cost of past mistakes—especially when one person’s trauma becomes another’s undoing.
