Adding to the mystery surrounding the mansion blaze is the fact that Caneiro’s brother’s home caught on fire just hours beforehand.
A blaze was reported at the home of Keith’s brother and business partner, Paul Caneiro and his wife Susan Caneiro, around 5am on Tuesday morning. Paul’s home is located in Ocean Township, just about 10 miles away from Colts Neck.
A neighbor said they saw Paul and Susan at their home shortly after the fire broke out.
They said Paul ‘appeared to be upset and left a short time after’.
‘He said it must have been a gas leak, he had tears in his eyes. Susan was devastated,’ the neighbor said.
‘He said, “I’m in complete shock, I can’t believe this is happening to me. They were here until about noon.’
Firefighters responded to the blaze at the Caneiro’s home in Colts Neck, NJ around 12.45pm on Tuesday.
The fire broke out around 12:45 p.m. at the sprawling 15-year-old home on 9 acres on Willow Brook Road, in Colts Neck, New Jersey.
Investigators said gas cans were found at the back of the Ocean Township home. They would not confirm if the two fires were linked.
‘That remains to be seen but that is an angle we continue to pursue,’ said Gramiccioni.
Caneiro and Paul were partners in Square One. Caneiro was listed as the founder, CEO, and chief technology officer of the technology consulting firm in Asbury Park.
