  There's a little lie we like to tell ourselves, a consolment, if you will, that people like you and me, nice people, never find ourselves in the crosshairs of a murderous plot. Truth is, even nice guys cross paths with people who want them out of the picture. Nice guys, like Fabio Sementilli.

• 1:49Speaker 02

  West of West Hollywood on a quiet street in Woodland Hills, police arrive at the home of Fabio Sementilli on the 23rd of January, 2017. Just hours earlier, Fabio was sitting in his favorite chair, poolside, like he often did since he'd moved from Canada to pursue his career in Hollywood around seven years ago. But today was different than all those other days. When his daughter came home, she found him in that chair, stabbed, multiple times. A few hours later, Detective Ryan Verna arrives.

• 2:23Speaker 03

  There's blood in the kitchen area, on the floors, in the kitchen sink. As you walk into the kitchen, you could clearly see through the windows and through that door, that there was a body in the backyard and large amounts of blood.

• 2:41Speaker 02

  Detective Verna and his partner, Gene Pershall, are there to ask some questions. Fabio's house is cordoned off with crime scene tape, so they meet Fabio's wife, Monica, at the next-door neighbor's house.

• 2:52Speaker 03

  Monica? Monica? Hello? Hi. I'm Detective Pershall, and I'm Detective Verna. Very sorry that we have to meet like this, okay? But we need to talk first.

• 3:04Speaker 02

  Detectives are there to talk to Monica and her two daughters, Jessica and Isabella.

• 3:08Speaker 03

  So, tell me what happened today from the morning. (sobbing) What time did you get up?

• 3:15Speaker 02

  Monica is visibly upset. She can't seem to catch her breath. The weight of this moment seems to be overwhelming her. Could this actually be happening?

• 3:25Speaker 03

  (sobbing) You think you got up at 6:30 or 7:30? (sobbing) Okay.

• 3:34Speaker 02

  This is not the typical call detectives in this town field. Two-million-dollar house behind security gates on a quiet street. A driveway hugged by the feathery branches of cedar trees. A safe place to raise a family and enjoy your little corner of the Hollywood dream. Not a crime scene. Fabio, it appeared, had made it. A beautiful wife and daughters, fancy home. He was a hairdresser to celebrities, an executive at a major beauty corporation, Wella.

• 4:08Speaker 03

  How long has he been working there? (sobbing) Okay.

• 4:14Speaker 02

  Detectives are trying to piece together in the early hours after his body was discovered, what happened here.

• 4:20Speaker 03

  You have a conference call with just people from work he normally does? (sobbing) And no big issues? No one's yelling? No one had any problems? No.

• 4:33Speaker 02

  It was Fabio's daughter, Bella, who found her dad in the back patio beside the pool.

• 4:39Speaker 04

  There appears to be some sort of sharp force injury, meaning a stabbing. There's lots of blood. Attempted to call 911. 911 told her to attempt to provide aid.

• 4:49Speaker 02

  Monica arrived home next. She and Bella tried with the help of the emergency operator to revive Fabio. But it was too late.

• 4:58Speaker 04

  Fire department arrived and pronounced him deceased. She said that Fabio was a great guy. There were no issues with anybody else. Everybody loved Fabio.

• 5:12Speaker 02

  He was a nice guy. And this is something detectives will hear over and over again in the coming days. Fabio had a lot of friends. Nobody seems to have a bad word to say about him. The man they described to the detectives is gregarious, warm, and loving. The life and soul of the party. Hardworking with a perfect family. People were truly shocked that anyone would commit such a heinous and brutal crime against this man.

• 5:44Speaker 02

  And the question that would take almost a decade to answer was, why? And the reason would shock everyone who knew him to their core.

• 5:58Speaker 02

  From Sony Music Entertainment and Novel, this is Cut, Color, Kill. I'm Jonathan Hirsch. Episode one, Big Daddy.

• 6:21Speaker 05

  Everybody, welcome Fabio.

• 6:29Speaker 02

  It's sometime around 2009. Fabio Sementilli is appearing as a hair expert on the Canadian CBC show called Stephen and Chris. He's here to answer all the audience's hot hair questions.

• 6:42Speaker 06

  I have really curly hair. I love it, but sometimes I like to change it and straighten it out.

• 6:48Speaker 02

  Fabio's a tall guy, about six foot, six foot one, with a beard that comes down to a point. Watching him, you can tell he's at ease in front of the camera, in a striped shirt and an elegant scarf.

• 6:58Speaker 05

  And now we're gonna really show you how to blow dry that hair. Nice and easy.

• 7:02Speaker 02

  He deftly smooths the woman's hair into an elegant blowout. It's impressive, and even more so considering that he's doing all of this while bantering with the hosts.

• 7:10Speaker 05

  And in the fringe area, guys, this technique here, you can take this one to the bank. Okay. Just put the brush in. How much money are we getting? Yeah. Depends on how I do, right? That's right, yeah.

• 7:23Speaker 07

  It was like watching a master at work. He would look at and touch hair, similar to how I would imagine a sculptor looking at an unmolded piece of clay. Looking at the hair, feeling it, how did it lay, how did it flow? It was like magic seeing him interact with your hair. These big hands would wield these hair styling tools with such dexterity, doing all these sorts of maneuvers with these scissors. He was like a wizard behind the chair.

• 7:56Speaker 02

  Luigi Sementilli is Fabio's son. His parents divorced when he was little, so every other Saturday, he'd come to work with his dad.

• 8:06Speaker 02

  Fabio runs his own salon in Toronto called, what else? Salon Fabio.

• 8:11Speaker 07

  It was a very loud, lively place, always very busy, always a hotbed of artistic expression.

• 8:20Speaker 02

  Saturdays are always crazy. Everyone wants a weekend appointment to get spruced up, feel special. Stylists are trimming and curling, doving hair dye and folding foils, and Fabio's at the center of the action.

• 8:32Speaker 07

  He was always the loudest voice in the room, the loudest laugh in the room.

• 8:39Speaker 02

  His towering physique and exuberant personality earned him the nickname Big Daddy. He's a stylist to models, athletes, celebrities. Later on, some people will wonder whether Fabio had it too good, whether all this success had made him a target. Right now, he's riding high.

• 9:03Speaker 07

  When he started to become more successful in his career, he bought a BMW M3. It had silver exterior, red leather interior, and that made me a bit of a celebrity in the schoolyard. The next day, everyone's saying, "Oh, what's that car your dad drives?" That kind of made me look up to him as like this superhero, right? He's like doing these shows and he's got this salon surrounded by all these cool artistic-minded people. And then he's got this great sports car, really a rock star hairstylist.

• 9:38Speaker 02

  Fabio's success didn't come out of nowhere. Like a lot of people who end up following their dreams to Hollywood, there was a tragedy in his past that spurred him on. Fabio was the son of Italian immigrants. He grew up in a neighborhood of Toronto known as Corso Italia, on a street called St. Clair Avenue.

• 9:55Speaker 08

  Our front doors were never locked. No neighborhood watch was needed because every mom sitting on the porch would know who belonged and who didn't belong.

• 10:04Speaker 02

  Joe Mercureo grew up there too. In the early 70s, he lived across the street from the Semitiles.

• 10:10Speaker 08

  I would call out his name, but I didn't know his name. So his nickname to me was Ravioli, and I would scream, "Ravioli, come outside."

• 10:19Speaker 02

  The pair became inseparable. Fabio was a year or so older, and Joe looked up to him like a big brother.

• 10:26Speaker 08

  Fab would always come to my defense, unconditionally always. Knowing that someone is there behind you, covering you, is a huge thing to have as a kid.

• 10:37Speaker 02

  Even as a kid, Fabio was a big personality.

• 10:40Speaker 08

  Articulate and disarming. He can make a friend anywhere.

• 10:45Speaker 02

  Joe says Fabio got that from his father.

• 10:48Speaker 08

  If you want to know Fabio, you'd have to know his dad. Everyone loved him in the area.

• 10:55Speaker 02

  Then, when Fabio was still a young kid, his dad died suddenly. Fabio's mom didn't speak English well, and she and Fabio and his two older sisters were left without a breadwinner.

• 11:07Speaker 08

  We never spoke about it. It was a non-conversation, and I knew that. I would see when some kids would prod him on that subject, and he would lose his cool. But I know this as a fact, as a friend. He was the only male now in that home. And as the only male in that home, we all knew what that meant. That was quite obvious. He became the protector, if you will.

• 11:30Speaker 02

  Fabio was shouldering new responsibilities. He started working when he was still a teenager. He followed in the footsteps of his big sister, Morella, who had become a hairdresser. He was ambitious, hard worker, and his life accelerated.

• 11:45Speaker 08

  He bought the first car in the neighborhood. He married first. He left the neighborhood first. A lot of firsts, because he was a man now. And that, I think that was the biggest conflict of his life. And also the most powerful thing of his life.

• 12:00Speaker 02

  Fabio was driven. He had big dreams. He'd learned a harsh lesson, though, one that would seem to be even more poignant after everything that came later. Life can be cut tragically short. And Fabio wasn't wasting any time.

• 12:22Speaker 02

  Fabio started competing at international hairdressing shows with his sister, Morella. They won trophies and made a name for themselves. And while Fabio was climbing the career ladder, his family was growing, too. He'd gotten divorced from Luigi's mom. He married a hair model and makeup artist called Monica. They had two daughters, Jessica and Isabella.

• 12:42Speaker 07

  Whenever I would arrive at my dad's house from being picked up for the weekend, they would always yell my name and come and give me a big hug as I entered the doorway. And I could also tell that my dad loved having me there and having everyone together, the five of us as a family.

• 12:59Speaker 02

  Fabio had always been close with Morella and his other sister, Lori, and he wanted the same for Luigi.

• 13:06Speaker 07

  Whenever my dad and I were talking one-on-one, and I would, in passing, refer to them as my half-sisters, he would always stop me and say, "No, those are your sisters."

• 13:17Speaker 07

  We were on a trip to the family cottage and I was upstairs in a bedroom playing on a PlayStation Portable and my dad came up and sat down and basically broke the news to me that they were going to be moving to California.

• 13:33Speaker 02

  Fabio had been working with the hair product giant Wella and they'd offered him a new job, creative director for North America. He was stepping away from the stylist's chair and into a new world of executive titles, MBAs and C-suites. It also meant moving with Monica and the girls to Los Angeles. For Joe, saying goodbye to his best friend was bittersweet, but he also knew it was the step Fabio needed.

• 13:59Speaker 08

  He was satisfying his dream. Fabio loved America, all of America, the talent of America, the size of America, the freedom of America, the big Cadillacs of America. So it was a perfect thing for him.

• 14:14Speaker 02

  No matter how carefully Fabio weighed up that decision, he could never have known how fateful it would turn out to be.

• 14:35Speaker 02

  It's a hot summer day in Malibu. Luigi is in town visiting his dad. The two are tearing down the Pacific Coast Highway in his Mustang convertible, the wind in bleached spiky hair, a Led Zeppelin CD blasting through the speakers.

• 14:55Speaker 07

  We stopped off at this bar. Apparently it's like some kind of well-known biker bar. There were a lot of bikes there, like motorcycles. It was called Neptune's Net and it was right on the ocean. My dad was like, "Let's stop off here and have a drink."

• 15:09Speaker 02

  I know exactly what place you're talking about. It's like, it's got this like sort of 60s era sign right out on the front and there's like palm trees in the back and...

• 15:18Speaker 07

  It's felt like this is California, like this place is so indicatively quintessentially California.

• 15:27Speaker 02

  Luigi's now in college and his dad's new life in California seemed like something out of a movie, literally. Neptune's Net is in Point Break, Iron Man 3, and Vin Diesel even had a drink there in The Fast and the Furious.

• 15:42Speaker 02

  Here in this California dream, the idea that danger could be just around the corner must have seemed impossible. Even Fabio's new house is like the set of a Hollywood sitcom. He settled with Monica and the girls in Woodland Hills, a leafy, affluent suburb in the San Fernando Valley.

• 16:00Speaker 07

  I was like, wow, this house doesn't look like the house they had when they were in Canada. Beautiful sitting area outside and a great big pool, beautiful backyard.

• 16:10Speaker 02

  Whenever Luigi visits, they spend long hours together in his dad's favorite place, the back patio.

• 16:17Speaker 07

  That backyard was really the locus of the family operations. He loved spending time out there. The chair outside there that he would sit on was kind of like his throne. He had a TV setup out there and I spent a lot of time out there, sitting back there with him, smoking cigars.

• 16:37Speaker 02

  That's how it was on Luigi's last visit in August 2016, laughing and joking around, eating family dinners with Monica and Luigi's sisters. It all seemed too good to be true. And maybe it was.

• 17:00Speaker 02

  Five months later, Luigi is back in Toronto. It's January 23rd, 2017, and this cold winter night couldn't be farther away from those carefree summers spent cruising around LA.

• 17:13Speaker 07

  I had just gotten back from class and I was sitting down at the computer playing a video game. I was playing World of Warcraft. And I remember my phone going off and it was my sister Jessica who called. And I was kind of busy playing the game and thinking, oh, maybe I won't pick up.

• 17:29Speaker 02

  Luigi ignores the call at first, but Jessica keeps ringing.

• 17:34Speaker 07

  I picked up and I remember her being hysterical on the other end. And at first thinking, oh, she must be out with friends and calling me to reminisce about something or something came up that reminded her of me, so she gave me a call. Then she said, "Someone killed Dad."

• 17:57Speaker 09

No hassle, no negotiation, no guy from an online listing lowballing you. Which means by the time I'm done explaining this, you could have basically done it.

Because even when a trail seems to disappear, the truth has a way of resurfacing. Listen to Park Predators wherever you get your podcasts.

• 19:00Speaker 02

  Detectives Ryan Verna and Gene Parshall are sitting with Fabio's wife, Monica, at a neighbor's house. Outside, Queen Victoria Road is teeming with emergency services.

• 19:10Speaker 04

  There was the fire department, there was crime scene tape, a lot of police were already present. And there was just a lot of activity going on for what should be a quiet neighborhood.

• 19:19Speaker 03

  How long have you lived on Queen Victoria?

• 19:23Speaker 06

  It's gonna be four years.

• 19:24Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 19:26Speaker 02

  Detective Verna and his partner are here to interview Monica and her daughters, one by one, about what happened that day. Fabio was working from home, Monica tells them.

• 19:35Speaker 03

  Okay, you came home, and where was Fabio?

• 19:37Speaker 06

  He was at the kitchen, working.

• 19:41Speaker 03

  Still working?

• 19:41Speaker 06

  Still working.

• 19:42Speaker 04

  She'd been home most of the day, went to the gym at one point with Jessica, her older daughter. Had got back from the gym, had some lunch, and then decided to go run out and do some errands.

• 19:53Speaker 03

  So you first hit Target and then you hit Ralph's?

• 19:55Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:56Speaker 03

  Okay, did you have any problems with anyone in there?

• 19:58Speaker 06

  No.

• 19:59Speaker 03

  Anyone on the road yell at you, road rage, cuss at you, flip you off, anything like that?

• 20:04Speaker 06

  No.

• 20:06Speaker 03

  Okay, and no problems with anyone in either store?

• 20:08Speaker 06

  No.

• 20:09Speaker 03

  You didn't notice anyone following you or anything like that?

• 20:13Speaker 03

  That you can remember? Okay.

• 20:16Speaker 02

  Jessica is 18. At around 3:40, she went out to a babysitting job. Bella, who's 16, was at school most of the day.

• 20:25Speaker 04

  She was trying to get a job at a deli. And so she had an interview after school. And then following that, she received a call from her mother telling her, hey, your glasses are ready. You need to go to this optometrist and pick up your glasses. And so she did that, then came home. She got into the house, walked in the kitchen and looked out the window. She noticed that her dad was in the patio, slumped over in the seat. And there was a large amount of blood.

• 20:54Speaker 02

  Bella called 911. A few minutes later, Monica returned home.

• 20:58Speaker 04

  Heard Bella screaming that Fabio had been injured and was on the back patio.

• 21:06Speaker 02

  They tried to resuscitate Fabio, but they weren't able to move him. By the time the first responders arrived, Fabio was dead. The rock of the Sementilli family was gone forever.

• 21:21Speaker 02

  Ryan normally works on gang-related murders, so it's unusual to get called out to a homicide at an upper-middle-class neighborhood like this.

• 21:30Speaker 02

  But Woodlands Hills could be a prime target for a different type of crime.

• 21:35Speaker 04

  We had what was called knock-knock burglaries going on at the time. And what these guys would do, they would find a house. They'd go up to the front door, knock on the front door. If someone answered the door, they'd typically move on to some other location.

• 21:50Speaker 02

  If nobody answered, then they'd break into the house and rob it. If one of these crews broke into the Sementilli house and ran into Fabio in the backyard, maybe things turned violent.

• 22:02Speaker 02

  The detectives managed to account for the cars belonging to Monica and her daughters. But Fabio's beloved Porsche is gone. It's a valuable car, sort of thing an opportunistic thief might be interested in. Then there's the master bedroom.

• 22:17Speaker 03

  Did you have anything valuable in your room? It looked like drawers were pulled out.

• 22:24Speaker 04

  There was some evidence of ransacking, meaning there was property that had been pulled out of drawers and cabinets.

• 22:29Speaker 02

  When the detectives take Monica on a walk-through of the house, she says that some valuables are missing.

• 22:38Speaker 03

  Canadian money and euros in one of the drawers or something?

• 22:44Speaker 04

  She reported that there was currency that had been taken in the form of US, Canadian, and European currency, as well as some like costume-y kind of jewelry. So, yeah, this potentially could be one of these burglaries gone bad.

• 23:03Speaker 03

  We're gonna do everything in our power to find out who did this. We're gonna process the whole house. It's probably gonna be here for hours and hours and hours, processing every evidence.

• 23:13Speaker 02

  That night, the crime scene is locked down. As forensic investigators arrive and comb through each room of the Semitili house, they carefully label and photograph any piece of potential evidence.

• 23:24Speaker 04

  We had noticed that there was security cameras at the home. In the garage, there was an area near the entry into the kitchen on top of a cabinet where the DVR probably was, based on wires that were protruding from the wall. But, there was nothing there.

• 23:44Speaker 02

  Whoever Fabio's attacker was, they dismantled this crucial piece of evidence before they made their getaway.

• 23:51Speaker 02

  This doesn't look like a frenzied attack in the heat of the moment. It looks carefully planned.

• 23:59Speaker 02

  There's also a sign of how they could have gotten in.

• 24:03Speaker 03

  Looking at your house, on the correct backside of your house, I guess it would be the north side of your house, there are several rooms that have sliding glass windows.

• 24:13Speaker 04

  So if you just looked into the room real quick, it would appear that it was secure. However, when you opened the shutters up, you would discover that that door was actually ajar and open. So that was out of the ordinary.

• 24:26Speaker 02

  Ryan is keeping an open mind, but he's not fully convinced by this burglary theory.

• 24:31Speaker 04

  The typical thing for those gang members to do if they confronted somebody inside or outside of a house would have been to run the other way. To go stab somebody on the back patio would be out of line with what they're doing.

• 24:45Speaker 02

  There's blood in the back patio, the kitchen, the garage. But there's also some blood transfer in the master bedroom, too.

• 24:52Speaker 04

  That indicated to us that these guys stuck around and then did the ransacking after the fact. I think the first indication would be to get the hell out of there, not to dig deeper to see if we could find some property.

• 25:04Speaker 02

  When the coroner arrives, they take a closer look at Fabio's body.

• 25:11Speaker 04

  We got to see what kind of injuries there was, and he had significant injuries. There were targeted places on his body that were aimed for, all areas that if you're, you know, attacked properly, will cause someone to bleed out pretty quickly.

• 25:25Speaker 02

  In other words, these injuries look deliberate. Each one intended to inflict the most damage possible, to be fatal. And there's something else. It looks like whoever did this made sure Fabio couldn't fight back.

• 25:39Speaker 04

  We didn't seem to find any kind of defensive wounds on Fabio Sementilli. So it appeared to us that this wasn't a surprise, where like, our suspects were surprised, hey, there's a guy there, and, you know, we gotta fight him off. It appeared that Fabio was attacked.

• 25:55Speaker 02

  But nobody the detectives interviewed that night has any idea who might have wanted to hurt him. By the time Ryan heads home late that night, his head is full of questions.

• 26:11Speaker 02

  For one brief moment, when Luigi Sementilli opens his eyes the next morning, everything is normal. Then, the previous night comes rushing back.

• 26:19Speaker 07

  First, it was bewilderment, disbelief, feeling stunned, even feeling nothing, just being reduced to bafflement that something like this could happen.

• 26:34Speaker 07

  When you wake up, you're kind of reminded of reality, and reminded of how your life has changed. And then you feel all of these things all over again. It felt like it had happened all over again.

• 26:48Speaker 02

  Last night, after he got the call about his dad, a friend came and picked him up and drove him to his mom's house.

• 26:54Speaker 07

  A long, weird car ride of really just being in silence for most of it, not knowing what was gonna happen, how to react, how to feel. It just felt like you were watching a movie that was being projected in front of your eyes.

• 27:12Speaker 02

  Now, he gets dressed and heads to his aunt, Morales' house.

• 27:16Speaker 07

  That was kind of where the family got together to begin the grieving process.

• 27:24Speaker 02

  Morella is Fabio's big sister and role model, the sister he followed into hairdressing. She's the one the Semantiles look to in a time of crisis.

• 27:32Speaker 07

  We were in the kitchen and everyone was kind of sitting around the table, maybe some people in the living room. And that was just a explosion of emotion from everyone. More tears than hopefully I'll ever see for the rest of my life. Bewilderment, shock, anxiety, talking, reminiscing, speculating, obsessing. There's a lot of talk of knock-knock burglary, where people would simply knock on your door and then make their way into your home.

• 28:07Speaker 02

  The burglary gone wrong doesn't seem to fit with the brutality of the crime. But the alternative seems unthinkable.

• 28:15Speaker 07

  A lot of anxiety came from speculation about what could have happened. Trying to get answers or make answers, connect dots in their mind about how someone that was so important to all of us was, in a moment, taken away.

• 28:32Speaker 02

  In the weeks to come, there would be a lot more speculation. The horrific circumstances around Fabio's death left everyone with questions. Who could have done this when Fabio was so well-loved? But every wild theory and far-fetched rumor was wrong. Because the truth was even more unbelievable and even more heartbreaking.

• 29:14Speaker 02

  Next time on Cut, Color, Kill. The cops get their first lead.

• 29:22Speaker 04

  You could tell in the video that they were running with a purpose. We knew right away, those are our guys.
