Investigators have released more photos of items stolen from a homicide/burglary in the South Sacramento, this time surf board and sails.
At 1:28 p.m. on June 23, at 1:28 p.m., the Sacramento Fire Department responded to a house fire in the 7400 block of Carella Drive, according to a news release. After extinguishing the fire, fire fighters found the body of homeowner, Keith Fessler.
About 12 hours later, police found Fessler's car, a sunset orange 2004 Honda Element, abandoned and burned about a mile from his home.
Detectives said it was immediately clear that Fessler had been killed. Investigators said they had no clues to indicate whether the killers had planned the burglary, and couldn't confirm the cause of death while the investigation is in progress.
Numerous items had been stolen from the residence. Sacramento Police Department said they have discovered additional specialized stolen items.
Earlier this month, police released photographs of custom guitars that were stolen from the residence as part of this crime.
