Next up, when a wealthy businessman and his family were brutally murdered at their home six years ago, questions swirled about a possible hit for hire until police arrested the man's brother. We've got the latest from the courtroom.
For our next story, we're heading to a New Jersey courtroom where a judge is weighing whether a prosecutor can use cutting-edge science in a disturbing quadruple murder case. In November 2018, just a few days before Thanksgiving, two fires broke out at the homes of two brothers, Paul and Keith Canaro. Paul and his family got out alive, but his brother Keith was not so lucky.
When first responders got to his house, they discovered that Keith had died, but not in the fire. He'd been shot repeatedly. His wife and two children were also dead.
But by whom? A week later, investigators came up with a stunning theory. Paul Canero had killed his brother and his family and then set fire not only to his brother's house, but to his own to cover up the crime. He was charged with their murders and two counts of arson.
Producer Brenda Breslauer, who has been covering the case for Dateline, is here to tell us what prosecutors believe is Paul's motive and why science is now taking center stage in the courtroom. Hey, Brenda. Hi, Andrea. So, first of all, very interesting that this involves two brothers. What do we know about them, the Caneros, and their relationship?
Yeah, I've been to Colts Neck. It's an absolutely beautiful area of New Jersey.
It was Keith. And what makes this story so incredibly tragic is that it wasn't just Keith. It was the rest of his family as well, right?
Wow. So what exactly happened here between these two brothers? Do we have a motive?
How has he responded to all of this? Has he said anything? He has pleaded not guilty, and he maintains his innocence. The murders happened back in 2018. Six years later, the case is in court, but still not in trial.
Is the assumption by the prosecution that Paul thought that his jeans and the glove would burn in the fire? I mean, why would you leave these items in your own basement? Yeah.
Okay. Thank you, Brenda, for your insight into this disturbing case. You're welcome. Up next, it's Dateline Roundup. The Florida woman convicted of leaving her boyfriend to die in a suitcase learns her fate. And prosecutors say the Colorado dentist accused of poisoning his wife has a new target. Plus, Dennis Murphy remembers the Amanda Knox case. Welcome back.
Joining me for this week's Roundup is Dateline producer Sue Simpson. Hey, Sue, welcome back. Thanks, Andrea. Hi. Okay, first up, more stunning headlines in the case involving Colorado dentist James Craig. We mentioned his trial was set to begin in our last episode, but there have been a couple of massive twists we didn't see coming.
Before we get to that, just remind people what this alleged crime is and who James Craig is.
The attorney didn't say what that action was, which he found so repugnant, but something happened the next day which could give us a clue.
Major twist there.
All right, so next we've got two sentencings out of Florida to talk about from two big cases we've covered on the podcast. The first one we're going to talk about is Sarah Boone. She is the defendant in the so-called suitcase murder trial.
The sentencing was earlier this week. We heard victim impact statements from George's children and his mom.
All right. And the second big sentencing this week was Ashley Benefield. The former ballerina was convicted of the 2020 killing of her husband, Doug Benefield. So, Sue, what is the news there?
There were some victim impact statements from Doug's family. We heard from his daughter, Eva, who's been very vocal throughout all of this.
Ashley, since the day you shot my father, I've only had one question to ask you. Why?
