HA! I was right!
When the news of the 4 property managers being bludgeoned, shot I knew it must have been a tenant.
This guy was clever too, like experienced tenants are.The owner of a mobile home park where a man arrested in the slayings four people lived says the suspect “never attracted any attention.”
Forty-four-year-old Chad Isaak is due in court Friday, a day after his arrest on suspicion of killing the business owner and three employees at the business that managed the mobile home park. Police say he shot and stabbed the victims, but they don’t yet have a motive for the slayings.
Rolf Eggers says he bought the mobile home park in Washburn last fall and Isaak “came with the park.” Eggers says that he didn’t know Isaak. He says neighbours never complained about him.
The mobile home park is in Washburn, about 35 miles (56 kilometres) from the management company, RJR Maintenance and Management.
He targeted the property managers for interfering with his reasonable enjoyment of the unit and they kept on pestering him for some late rent.A man charged Friday with killing four people at a business that manages the mobile home park where he lives tried to avoid detection by picking up shell casings, changing his clothing, and cleaning a knife and gun with bleach, according to court documents.
Court documents allege that after shooting and stabbing the victims, Chad Isaak, 44, took one of the company’s vehicles to drive about one block, then walked to his own truck parked less than a mile (1.6 kilometres) away at a McDonald’s. Authorities traced his steps with help from surveillance video at businesses along the route, the documents say.
The affidavit and complaint filed Friday offer the most details yet on a mystery that has gripped the area since authorities found the bodies of four people Monday morning at RJR Maintenance and Management
Even 'model tenants' can snap!The police affidavit portrays a grisly crime scene in which the Cobbs and Fuehrer were shot and stabbed several times. Fakler had multiple lacerations and stab wounds, and first responders tried in vain to resuscitate him. Fuehrer and the Cobbs were all dead when officers arrived. Lois Cobb’s death was attributed to a cut of her neck, though she also had been shot, according to the affidavit.
Surveillance video shows the assailant entering RJR wearing brightly colored clothing, then leaving in dark clothing about 15 minutes later, the documents say. An employee at the McDonald’s told police that she saw a man wearing a camouflage ski mask, dark pants and dark shoes get into a white Ford F-150 that morning.
Police later linked the vehicle to Isaak, who lives in the small town of Washburn, about 35 miles north (56 kilometres) of Mandan. At his home, they found clothing matching what they had seen on video, nine spent shell casings, a knife with a bent tip, and gun parts in a kitchen freezer. The clothing, knife and gun parts all smelled of chlorine bleach, court documents say.
RJR began managing the mobile home park after Rolf Eggers bought the property last fall. Eggers, a Bismarck resident who spends his winters in Florida, said he never met Isaak and that Fakler never mentioned any issues with him.
How did I know it must have been a tenant? Because I too have had dark thoughts when there was the threat of me losing MY HOME.The previous owner, Mike Nelson, described Isaak as “a model tenant.”
“Paid his rent on time. Took care of his property,” Nelson said.
Tenants are human beings. We have feelings. We have emotions.
This story is a good example to landlords and property managers: BE CARE IF YOU POKE THE BEAR!
