About Greenwich

2009-04-01T12:30:00.000-07:00

Greenwich is a town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 61,101. It is home to many hedge funds and other financial service companies that have left Manhattan. Of the $1.2 trillion invested in hedge funds worldwide, $120 billion (10 percent) is managed in Greenwich[citation needed]. The town is famous as one of the most affluent communities in the United States.

Greenwich is the southernmost municipality in Connecticut and is 37 minutes by train (express) from Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan.

In July 2005, CNN/Money and Money magazine ranked Greenwich 12th on its list of the 100 Best Places to Live in the United States, although the town did not make it onto the list in 2006 or 2007.

The town is the location of Greenwich Hospital, a community hospital with 174 beds and a teaching affiliate of Yale University School of Medicine.

Greenwich has one local government but consists of several distinct sections, each of which often has its own mailing addresses and ZIP codes: as Cos Cob 06807, Riverside 06878, Old Greenwich 06870, and Greenwich 06830 and 06831 (sometimes referred to as Greenwich proper, central, or downtown Greenwich).

Downtown Greenwich consists primarily of Greenwich Avenue, a one-way street with many restaurants, boutiques, and antique shops, all in extraordinarily expensive retail space (as of 2006: $150 to $200 per square foot). Remaining businesses tend to cluster around Route 1 which runs along the southern edge of the town as East and West Putnam Avenues.

Greenwich Communities

Mention Greenwich, Connecticut, to anyone and chances are they have heard of it. Our town is home to artists, actors, sports personalities and, yes, corporate executives and leaders in the world of finance. Yet it is both a wealthy and diverse community: Its fifty square miles, stretching from the backcountry to thirty-two miles of shoreline on the Sound, encompasses seven villages or hamlets, each with its own distinct identity and geography, many with roots that predate the Revolutionary War.

Chronologically, this is how Greenwich evolved:

Old Greenwich

Old Greenwich is where it all began. On July 18, 1640, the Siwanoy Indians, for the price of twenty-five English coats, sold the land that is now Old Greenwich to four Englishmen. One of the Englishmen, Jeffrey Ferris, named the area after his birthplace, Greenwich, England. As Greenwich developed to the west, Old Greenwich became known as "Old Town." In 1872 the name was changed to Sound Beach at the urging of the New Haven Railroad, which preferred that name for their rail stop. The name remained until 1930 when the area was renamed Old Greenwich.

Old Greenwich has evolved from a farming community to a summer resort to the quiet commuter community it is today. Residents of the village have a particular pride in their community with its special amenities: its intimate downtown shopping center; proximity to popular Greenwich Point with its fine beach, park and public boating facilities; and scenic Binney Park where Little League baseball and soccer are regular weekend events and the annual model sailboat races on the pond draw many young would-be sailors.

Cos Cob

As the Old Town farmers struggled with the area's rocky soil, the tiny hamlet to the west prospered as a seaport. Cas Cob, Originally known as Mianus, was named after the Siwanoy Chief, Myanos. It was an Englishman named John Cae, an early settler, who built a seawall at the mouth of the Mianus River, referred to as a "cob." He left in 1659, but the name Cos Cob (without the" e") remained.

Cos Cob flourished as a seaport during the 1700s and 1800s. At the turn of the nineteenth century, it evolved into an intellectual and artist colony playing host to the likes of Eugene O'Neill, Willa Cather and Anya Seton, whose father Ernest Thompson Seton, was a founder of the Boy Scouts of America. The historic Bush-Holley House, presently the home of the Greenwich Historical Society, became famous as the residence and studio of the renowned Cos Cob School of American impressionists.

Today, Cos Cob has its own shopping center. The lovely Mianus River flows through its residential areas and offers extensive marinas on the upper Mianus Harbor.

Central Greenwich

In 1686 the tract of land between the Byram and Mianus rivers was traded by the Miossehasseky Indians for just thirty acres of planting ground elsewhere. Known then as Horseneck, it was the principal farming area of the town and supplied much of the produce for New York. The advent of the railroad in the mid-nineteenth century was an economic boon for Central Greenwich, transforming Greenwich Avenue into the major shopping center it is today, with its many upscale stores and top-rated restaurants. Trademarks of the Avenue are the uniformed policemen who direct traffic every weekday. Central Greenwich is the hub of economic activity and the seat of town government. It is also where the main Greenwich library, the Bruce Museum, hospital and many other town institutions are located.

Glenville

This tiny mill town in the northwest corner of Greenwich was founded in 1774 by Baptist settlers who established their church by the Byram River. Its industrial history began with a mill for grinding Peruvian bark into patent medicines. Later, the American Felt Company turned out the majority of felt for men's and women's hats in the United States. It operated until the mid 1970s. Restaurants, office space and condominiums now occupy the mill with its scenic millpond and spillway.

There is also a small shopping area for everyday needs.

Riverside

Known as Mianus Neck until 1870, Riverside was predominantly a community of farmers, fishermen and oystermen. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Riverside Avenue was known as the Potato Road for all the potato cellars near the cove. Today it is one of the most desirable of our suburban communities. It is closely linked to neighboring Old Greenwich, and its abundance of waterfront on the river, harbor and Long Island Sound attracts those who have a particular interest in living near the water and in sailing and fishing. Like Old Greenwich, its location near the railroad stations makes it ideal for commuters to the city.

Byram

Tucked into the southwest comer of town, Byram was settled in 1660 by Thomas Lyon and was originally known as New Lebanon.

Today, Byram is a diverse residential community. Beautiful shorefront estates with dramatic views of the Sound are backed by more modest residential properties in the rest of the village. Together with neighboring Port Chester across the Byram River, there are any number of fine restaurants featuring a variety of ethnic cuisines plus retail shops of every kind. An ongoing program revitalizing properties along the shores of the Byram River and Byram's central business district is giving this Greemvich enclave a distinctly up-and-coming future.

Banksville

Banksville was named after Samuel Banks, who settled on the upper reaches of the Mianus River in the northeast comer of Greenwich in 1700. For the next 200 years it was a quiet farming community, but in 1904 Edmund Converse assembled more than 1,000 acres to create Greenwich's greatest estate, with forty buildings and a staff of 200. Farming operations continued up until 1960. It then lay fallow for twenty years when it was finally sold to the Conyers Farm Partnership and its 1,468 acres subdivided into sixty lots. Conyers Farm is the home of many well-known residents who can afford its magnificent ten -acre lots. It is also the locale for the Greenwich Polo Club where many town residents go to enjoy the polo games on a Sunday afternoon. (As an interesting sidelight, Conyers Farm would not exist nor would most of backcountry Greenwich be the same, had a proposal in 1945 to locate the headquarters of the United Nations here not been defeated by an alarmed group of Greenwich citizens.)

Banksville's small business center near the New York State line is reminiscent of a simpler time. Many of its residents refer to Banksville as the land that time has forgotten.

The Backcountry and Mid-Country

While not a village, any description of the unique areas of Greenwich wouldn't be complete without mention of the extraordinarily beautiful mid-country and backcountry that encompass nearly two thirds of the town's geography. Four-acre zoning is the rule in most of the backcountry area, defined as north of the Merritt Parkway, while one- and two-acre zoning is most common in the mid-country to the south.

Thanks to preservation efforts by the Greenwich Land Trust and other conservation organizations, there is still a remarkable amount of open space remaining, especially in the backcountry. The area is characterized by a diversity of rivers, lakes and ponds, winding country roads, woods and meadows, and scenic glacial carved gorges - enough to please the eye of the most ardent environmentalist. Here is where most of the town's golf courses and many of its parklands are found, including the Audubon property with its impressive new headquarters and study center. Perhaps most surprising, this is all within thirty-five miles of Manhattan.

Greenwich Geography

Greenwich Geography

The town has a total area of 67.2 square miles (174.2 km²), of which, 47.8 square miles (123.9 km²) of it is land and 19.4 square miles (50.3 km²) of it (28.88%) is water. In terms of area, Greenwich is twice the size of Manhattan. The town is bordered to the west and north by Westchester County, New York, to the east by the city of Stamford, and to the south by Long Island Sound.

Greenwich is divided into several small sections, among them:

Old Greenwich
Riverside
Cos Cob
Glenville
Greenwich
Byram (formerly East Port Chester)

Each, with the exception of Byram and Glenville, have their own ZIP Code and Metro North train station.

A curious aspect of Greenwich's position in the southwestern "tail" of Connecticut is that by traveling north, south, east or west from any point in town, one will eventually reach the State of New York. Westchester and Putnam Counties lie to the north and west. Nassau County is directly south across Long Island Sound, and a long boat ride due east will land you on the northeast branch of Suffolk County, Long Island.

Round Hill, with an elevation of more than 550 feet (170 m), was a lookout point for the Continental Army during the American Revolution. The Manhattan skyline is visible from the top of the hill.

Greenwich News Archive: Kissel Murders

Greenwich News Archive: Kissel Murders

Forty-six-year-old Andrew Kissel hoped to make his name in real estate in Greenwich, Conn., but instead, he earned the dubious distinction as the town’s first murder victim in 2006.

Seven months after the murder, with no one yet in custody, Former Police Chief James Walters remained optimistic. "Everyone that was in Mr. Kissel’s circle is being is being investigated," he said.

But in Greenwich, it’s not easy to get people to talk. Within a few days after the murder everybody the police wanted to talk had a lawyer.

Andrew Kissel’s violent death brought to an end a life once brimming with promise. He grew up in New Jersey, the oldest of three children in an upwardly mobile family. Andrew’s brother, Robert, was four years younger and there was a baby sister, Jane.

The Kissels made an impression wherever they went: an intense passion for life permeated everything they did and it was most evident, perhaps, on the ski slopes.

Skiing was basically everything to them and Rob was an amazing skier. It seemed that whatever Rob did, he did it well.

Robert had no trouble keeping up with his older brother, Andrew. They were competitive. Who could go faster, who could jump the highest.

Both boys had to answer to their father, Bill Kissel, who had turned his hard work and smarts into his own successful business and expected no less from his sons.

He expected them to do their homework. He expected them to be polite. He expected them to do their chores. He set down rules and expected them to be followed.

Danny Williams lived just around the corner, and says Robert was his best friend, almost like a brother. Back then, Danny remembers, Robert was already acting out the role he would later assume for real.

"If it was Monopoly, he had to be the banker," Danny explains. "Always, and Andy would have to be the real estate guy."

At the same time, Andrew was building an image that would become increasingly important to him. "He liked to show off what he had, you know, status, he liked to show status," Danny remembers.

There was no denying Andrew was ambitious. Just out of high school, he started his own auto parts business and hired Danny

Eventually, Andrew went on to bigger ventures, becoming a real estate developer in New York. In 1990, he had the perfect woman at his side, Hayley Wolff, a world champion skier who became a financial analyst. Ten years later, they had it all: two children, a ski house in Vermont, and an apartment in a New York co-op, where Andrew served as treasurer.

Andrew, once outshined by his younger brother’s charisma, soon had his hand and cash in everything: horses, an olive oil business, and he even invested in a play produced by Brian Howie.

Andrew spared no expense to amuse himself and his friends and was living large. Brian says Andrew had 85-90 foot yacht, a couple of jet skis and "30-some" cars.

If Andrew was thrust into overdrive by pressure from his father and competition with his brother, Robert took a more modest and methodical approach to getting ahead.

Robert’s life began coming together in 1987, when he met Nancy Keeshin, an art student working as a waitress. They married and she continued working, putting her husband through New York University’s business school.

Elizabeth La Cause, one of Nancy’s close friends, says that at that point, the marriage looked like it was made in heaven. "Yeah, it was. It looked perfect," Nancy's husband John agrees.

By the time their first child was born, Robert was on the fast track in the high stakes world of investment banking. "Rob was a guy, if you look at, and you took to for five minutes, you would go, obviously, this guy is gonna make it," John La Cause explains.

It didn’t take long for Robert to become a star in financial circles, although he had to go half way around the world to do it. In 1997, Robert and Nancy moved their family to Hong Kong. It seemed the perfect place for Robert but in this prosperous city so far from home, his seemingly charmed life was about to take an unexpected turn.

When Robert was transferred to Hong Kong, southeast Asia was in financial turmoil, allowing the ambitious investment banker to buy up assets for a fraction of their value, earning him millions.

Robert, his wife Nancy, and their three children joined Hong Kong’s privileged community of expatriates, known as "expats."

Like the Kissels, Kazuko Oshi and her husband, business journalist Andrew Tanzer, lived in Parkview, a luxury complex overlooking the city. "If you are in Parkview, don’t really have to go out. There is a kindergarten there. There’s a big supermarket there," Oshi explains. "Two or three pools and tennis courts."

Living in Parkview was like living in a nice resort, a very expensive resort. The Kissels were paying $20,000 a month for their sprawling home. Nancy and Robert drove fancy cars and sent their kids to private school.

By 2003, Robert was one of Merrill Lynch’s top guys in southeast Asia; Nancy’s life was centered around her children. "Nancy seemed very happy. She always tried to please Rob.

But the reality, says Trudy, can be much different. "I mean in the beginning it's all very overwhelming and it's fantastic and it's a great city. And you have a beautiful apartment. And then the husband ends up being away much more than he promised and you spend many nights alone," she says.

The isolation and stress of living in Hong Kong can be too much for some marriages. But if Nancy and Robert were struggling, they hid it from friends.

Andrew Tanzer first met the Kissels on the day he brought his daughter to their apartment for a playdate. "And the girls did sort of disappear into the other end of the apartment. And I started chatting with Robert. He was very relaxed and, you know, confident," Tanzer remembers.

As Tanzer was about to go home, Nancy insisted the girls serve a milkshake she had made. Tanzer, feeling obligated to drink it, downed his shake. "I did sort of because I was a guest. So, yes. It had some strange taste which I could not recognize, he remembers.

Sometime after Tanzer left the Kissel home that Sunday afternoon, Robert disappeared. When he didn’t make a conference call the following day, a colleague reported him missing.

Nancy kept it secret from the children, but told others that she and Robert had a terrible fight and he had left.

After Robert was missing for four days, the police went to the Kissel apartment to investigate. When they searched the family storage unit, they found boxes of bloody items and a rolled up carpet. Inside the carpet was Robert's body, bludgeoned to death.

Very quickly, police investigators focused on the only person they believe could have done it: Robert’s wife, Nancy. Within hours she was arrested and charged with murder.

As police were building their case against Nancy, the Tanzers remembered how strange Andrew felt the night he returned from the Kissels.

Tanzer had no memory of anything and wondered what was in that milkshake. "I felt like I had been drugged," he says. "I just immediately thought maybe Robert Kissel was also drugged. So I contacted the police, and I said 'Do an autopsy.'"

In fact, an autopsy would reveal five different drugs in Robert’s system, including rohypnol, known as the "date rape drug." Investigators discovered that Nancy had kept Robert’s body in her bedroom for two days.

The day after Robert was killed, security cameras caught Nancy returning home, after spending thousands of dollars on new furniture and new rugs

At the time of her arrest, Nancy was so distraught that instead of prison, she was held in the maximum security ward of a local hospital, where friend Trudy Samra was allowed to see her. Trudy says Nancy was bruised and unable to walk. "Like, almost like she was grabbed, you know, very forcibly by someone," Trudy recalls. "I thought, 'My God, she’s been in a terrible fight.'"

Nancy was in custody, Robert was dead and Andrew Kissel offered to take his brother’s son and two daughters – now worth millions – back to Connecticut. But, no one guessed the heartache that was still to come.

With their father dead, and their mother in prison in Hong Kong, Robert and Nancy’s children flew back to the U.S. and ultimately found a home with their uncle Andrew and his family but their lives were about to get turned upside down once again.

Andrew’s friend, Brian Howie says Andrew was devastated by his brother’s death and began to spend vast amounts of money. Andrew was trying to buy his happiness, like indulging in extravagant parties on his yacht.

But where was the money coming from? While Robert had played by the rules, Andrew was taking shortcuts. And he began years earlier when he and his family were living in New York City in a high rise co-op. Andrew was the building’s treasurer.

Peter Chamberlain, new to the board of directors, was puzzled by some of Andrew’s reports. "No one could account for how a hallway project could cost $2 million or a million dollars. All the receipts, all the bills, all the contracts were in Andrew Kissel’s possession," he says

So was a lot of the building’s money. An investigation revealed that Andrew had secretly transferred funds into his own accounts. He was caught red-handed.

To avoid legal action, Andrew agreed to pay back what he owed, which was by this time nearly $4 million. Chamberlain says people wondered where Andrew would come up with the money.

For Andrew, the answer was simple: another scam in another state, Connecticut. He moved his family to Greenwich, where he had been buying and developing expensive homes as investments.

Nancy Walkley, a title search attorney, had processed some of the mortgage applications Andrew submitted to develop multi-million dollar properties. In 2005, while reviewing routine paperwork, she noticed something fishy about the signatures. "The 'A' in the Andrew looked very similar to the 'A' in the first name of the gentleman who signed that Astoria Federal Mortgage," she explains.

A quick check with the bank confirmed her fear: it appeared that Andrew had forged a bank executive’s signature, indicating a $5.5 million mortgage was paid off when it wasn’t.

Walkley stopped the deal and as it turns out, it wasn’t the first time Andrew had bilked banks with forged documents – he had been doing it for years.

The FBI was called and Special agent Steven Garfinkel led the investigation.

Garfinkel says Andrew would borrow money, file a fake release saying that he no longer owed that money and then would borrow again. The banks would think that the land was free and clear.

"And then he’d go to a third bank and do the same thing," Garfinkel explains. He says Andrew was able to obtain over $30 million by this kind of fraud.

Those stolen millions supported Andrew’s spending sprees and parties, and it allowed him to build his 10,000 square foot dream house on property he bought with fictitious documents.

And the more money he obtained through fraudulent loans, says Garfinkel, the more eager banks were to lend him more. "If you come in with all appearances that you’re a wealthy guy, you’re going to be successful in getting a loan," he explains.

Facing federal fraud charges, Andrew sought advice from attorney Phil Russell.

Granfinkel says while Andrew was upset he got caught, he had no remorse. But Russell says Andrew did feel remorse and was willing to come clean - just not completely clean.

The FBI uncovered yet another scam, this time involving apartment complexes in New Jersey. There, Andrew had ripped off his investors, by forging their signatures, secretly selling the properties and pocketing all the profits.

And unlike in Connecticut, where he defrauded banks, in New Jersey Andrew was ripping off people he knew, including his dead brother’s estate, his father-in-law and friends.

"The people in New Jersey didn't know that the property had been sold out from under them, because he continued to pay their quarterly dividends," Russell explains.

While Andrew’s material world was crumbling, his personal life was already in shambles. His wife Hayley discovered he had forged her signature to get a fraudulent loan on their ski house. He was cheating her, and cheating on her with other women. Hayley asked for a divorce and $7 million.

Andrew’s younger sister Jane also turned on him, fighting and winning a bitter custody battle for Robert’s children.

And Andrew was estranged from the father who had once pushed him so hard. "He was very clear to me that I had no authority to speak to his father, and he wanted nothing to do with the man," Russell explains.

Placed under house arrest and monitored with an electronic bracelet, Andrew agreed to take a plea. "He was looking at eight to ten years in jail, in federal jail," Garfinkel says.

One of the few people left in Andrew’s life was Carlos Trujillo, his driver and personal assistant. And Carlos was worried. "He told me, 'A lot of people hate me,'" he recalls.

While Andrew’s fraud case was making headlines in Greenwich, his brother Robert’s murder case was an even bigger sensation in Hong Kong and it was headed towards trial.

Albert Wong covered the trial for the English language daily The Standard. "We coined it the 'Milkshake Murder,'" Wong explains.

It was a trial about much more than a marriage gone bad. "I think it really hit home with a lot of people in Hong Kong," Wong explains. "It was a glimpse of a world that they’re not used to."

As the prosecution’s case unfolded before a Chinese jury, the evidence against Nancy seemed overwhelming.

The seemingly perfect Kissel marriage had actually been in trouble. In the spring of 2003, during Asia’s pneumonia-like SARS epidemic, Nancy and the children fled to Vermont. Robert, who remained in Hong Kong, became suspicious of his wife, so he hired private investigator Frank Shea to spy on her.

"About 10 o'clock, a van would arrive parked on a dark deserted road. This man would get out of the van, go through the bushes, and then enter the house," Shea says.

The man was Michael Del Priore, a local TV equipment installer. "Rob Kissel was devastated," Shea says. "All he wanted to do was get his marriage back together. He loved Nancy Kissel. And he loved his children."

Nancy returned to her husband in Hong Kong but secretly continued to communicate with her lover via e-mail; Robert found out through a spyware system he had installed on the family computer.

Shea says Robert was planning to obtain a divorce. He intended to tell her that on Nov. 2, 2003, the very night he was murdered.

Asked what he believes happened on the night Robert was killed, Shea says, "I think he was drugged. I think that he went into his bedroom. I think he passed out. I think Nancy Kissel then took a bronze statue and murdered him."

Robert's head was bashed five times. "Each time would have been fatal," says journalist Albert Wong. "The force of the blow actually left marks on her own hand."

Prosecutors said they knew Robert had been drugged because they had a witness: Andrew Tanzer. He testified at trial about the strange concoction that Nancy had made for them. "It was a very thick, sweet milkshake. It was pink, and it had ground up cookies in it. I thought it had this odd taste. And she said 'It’s a special recipe,'" Tanzer recalls.

And it may not have been the first time that Nancy doctored Robert’s drink. "When he would get home from work he enjoyed a little bit of scotch, as he called the two fingers," Shea says. "But the last few times that he had the scotch he felt totally different. Very woozy. "

Shea had become so worried that he flew to Hong Kong to warn his client. Asked if Robert believed his warnings, Shea says, "I think Rob Kissel was in denial. I don’t think he believed his wife was trying to kill him."

At trial, it was revealed that Nancy had been researching various sedatives on the Internet and stockpiling pills.

The most compelling moment came when Nancy took the stand, and the prosecutor asked the question everyone wanted to know. "And he just sort of went, 'Let’s just get this out of the way. Of course you do admit you killed your husband right?' And she said, 'Yes,'" Wong explains.

But Nancy maintains she’s innocent of murder. She claimed he attacked her first and it was self defense. She testified that behind closed doors her life was hell; that for years Robert had subjected her to the worst kind of physical and sexual abuse. On the day Robert died, Nancy claimed there was a huge argument.

"He came at her with a baseball bat. There was a struggle. He turns her around and it’s at this point that she just swings back. And he kind of sits back and looks at the blood and says, 'You bitch.' And then charges at her with the baseball bat. 'I’m going to kill you. I’m going to kill you.' And she said, then she just blanks out," Wong says.

Asked how credible he finds Nancy's memory blackout, Wong says, "Certainly it’s a convenient time to forget what happened next. But also, perhaps she did. The fear, the shock combined with several years of bad experience she may have blanked out."

Trudy Samra, Nancy’s close friend, believes the self defense story and remembers seeing suspicious injuries. "The first time she had a rib injury. And one time we had a girls' night here. Then she came in. And I said, 'Wow, what happened to you?' And she had a big, big blue eye."

Trudy says she doesn't know if those injuries were caused by Robert but she admits Nancy never told her that she was being abused, and Robert’s friends, like Carol Horton, don’t believe it.

"Knowing Rob as well as I did, it just wasn’t in his nature to do that or to be that," she says.

After 65 days, the mostly male jury took just eight hours to find Nancy guilty of murder. But even today not everyone is sure what to believe.

"Even now after the verdict, I don't feel I've found out what happened. Only two people know what happened. And one of them is dead," says Wong.

The other, Nancy, is now serving a life sentence in a Hong Kong prison. In 2006, Moriarty went there with Nancy's mother Jean; Moriarty was the only television journalist to visit since her incarceration. Nancy continues to insist that she acted in self defense.

Robert Kissel’s case may be closed, but back in Connecticut, the police face a much tougher task finding the killer of Andrew Kissel. He was murdered less than three years after his brother, Robert, was killed in Hong Kong.

Andrew’s attorney, Phil Russell, says he never imagined his client’s life would end this way. FBI investigator is also unsure who committed this murder.

With the murder just days before Andrew was about to plead guilty to fraud, it appeared that the killer could have been someone who feared that Andrew was trading information for a reduced prison sentence.

But Russell says there was nobody Andrew was going to rat out.

Perhaps the most bizarre murder theory was that Andrew himself hired a hit man. He would do almost anything to avoid prison, but if he committed suicide, his children could not collect his life insurance.

"He was terribly remorseful about what he did, about the effect that it would have on his wife and children," Russell says.

Asked if he thinks Andrew may have planned his own murder, Russell says, "It’s plausible."

But FBI agent Steven Garfinkel doesn't buy that theory. "He was a narcissist. He liked himself too much," he says.

Andrew’s penchant for grandiosity has clearly complicated this case. No one truly knows the extent of everything he had his hand in, nor what deals he had made or with whom. The Greenwich police say they’re not ruling out anything.

Until there’s an arrest in the case, Former Greenwich Police Chief James Walters was reluctant to release many details. In his first television interview, Walters says he believes that Andrew’s estranged wife, Hayley, may have some useful information. "I will say that we have spoken with Hayley and that we'd like to speak to her again," Walters tells Moriarty.

Walters confirmed that there was a dispute between Hayley and Andrew the day before the murder. "There was a verbal dispute between them. And to get into specifics about what that is about, wouldn't be a good idea right now," Walters said.

Walters would not publicly name a suspect, he acknowledges his department looked closely at Andrew’s loyal employee, Carlos Trujillo. "We believe the last person to see Andrew Kissel alive was Carlos," said Walters.

For his part, Carlos says he has done everything the police have asked, giving them fingerprints and DNA. But, he says, their questioning became more and more intense. "At this point, they treat me like a suspect. They treat me like a criminal," he says.

To convince the police of his innocence, Carlos says, he agreed to take a polygraph. But that may have backfired: Walters says every question connected to the investigation came up untruthful on the polygraph.

When asked, Chief Walters does admited that polygraphs are not always right. Sometimes people who are innocent do fail polygraphs.

Carlos says he did not kill Andrew, nor does he have any idea who did. "There’s no evidence that he had anything to do with this," says his attorney, Lindy Ursu.

Carlos is no longer talking to the police but they have searched his home, car, and storage unit. And they have questioned his family.

Carlos insists he told police the truth and, in fact, gave them a lead that Andrew was using drugs and had a prostitute come to the house the night before he died.

"If you believe that Carlos Trujillo is being dishonest, and obviously then knows more than what he's telling, why not arrest him?" Moriarty asks Walters.

"At this stage, then that would be inappropriate," the police chief replies. "We'd certainly like to give him an opportunity to explain why he may have been untruthful with us, and to actually tell us what had occurred."

Andrew's family and creditors are now fighting to get whatever they can from the financial mess he left them. Meanwhile, Walters says he’s committed to finding Andrew’s killer.

It’s little solace to the friends of the Kissel family, who struggle to understand the loss of two brothers who once had so much promise.

Carol Horton, Robert’s ex-girlfriend, still grieves for the man she loved. "He was just at the beginning. You know? There was just so much more for him," she says.

But the Kissel family tragedy may weigh most heavily on Robert and Andrew’s father Bill, who is now growing impatient with the Greenwich police.

"Mr. Kissel has been somewhat upset with us because of our declining to share information with him," Chief Walters says. "We have concerns about sharing information with Mr. Kissel that could get out into the public realm before we’re ready for that information to be released."

Asked to describe Bill today, Carol says "There's a great hole in his heart. I think he blames himself, you know. He did something wrong somewhere along the line."

"It just seems like a bad dream," she adds. "Just a bad dream."

UPDATE:

Greenwich Police Chief Jim Walters retired July 1st.

The investigation into Andrew Kissel's murder remained active.

Nancy Kissel is appealing her conviction and life sentence for the murder of her husband Robert. A hearing is scheduled for April 2008.

Carlos Trujillo and his cousin Leonard Trujillo were arrestted for Andrew Kissel's Murder in 2008.

The court case is still active.

February 8, 2000: At what could only be described as a 'media circus', Michael Skakel was scheduled to appear in Stamford Juvenile Court for arraignment.

Because this is a juvenile case, Michael Skakel was entitled to a "reasonable cause" hearing, which was held on June 20, 21 and 28, 2000. When leaving court, Michael Skakel approached Dorthy and John Moxley and said "I feel your pain," Skakel followed with "but you've got the wrong guy."

June 20, 21 and 28, 2000: Michael Skakel appeared for a "Probable Cause Hearing". Skakel was flanked by his brother, sister and cousins Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Douglas Kennedy.

Burglary Prevention Tips

2008-01-27T19:03:00.000-08:00

Greenwich Police Department - Burglary Prevention Tips

There were 68 reported burglaries within the Town of Greenwich during the 2006-2007 fiscal year.

Town burglaries probably went up in durring the 2007 -2008 fiscal year.

Greenwich Police Chief told the Greenwich Time he was going to release the Greenwich crime number before the end of 2008, but we guess the poor old man forgot.

The purpose of the following is to inform residents and business owners how they might prevent a burglary at their home or place of business.

1. Get to know and develop a bond of trust with your neighbors. Watch out for each other; establish and participate in neighborhood crime watch organizations. Keep a neighborhood roster including work telephone numbers. Hide your spare key at your neighbor's house, not on your own property.

2. Immediately report suspicious activity to the Greenwich Police Department.

3. If a burglary occurs at your home contact GPD right away from a safe location like a neighbor's house.

4. Make you home look lived in. Arrange to have snow cleared, leaves removed and lawns cut as the season requires. Retrieve your mail and newspapers from the driveway promptly.

5. Have your neighbor take care of these issues if you are away for an extended period of time. Do not broadcast travel plans, but let your neighbor and GPD know that you will be away. Provide your travel itinerary and an emergency contact telephone number. Don't announce your absence on your answering machine. Stopping your mail and newspapers can signal that your house is unoccupied. Have your neighbor park a car in your driveway.

6. Invest in solid doors and good quality locks on doors and windows. Install peepholes. Do not invite strangers into your home. Close and lock your garage, lock sheds to prevent access to tools that could facilitate a break-in. Lock up your cars. Do not leave car keys and other valuables near a window where they can be seen. Lock your doors while visiting your neighbors or working in your yard.

7. Install timer lights and motion detection lights. Timers can also be placed on radios and televisions. Install and familiarize yourself with a quality alarm system with an audible ringer. When appropriate, isolate alarm zones to keep service people from wandering through your home. Store valuables before any workers can see them.

8. Carefully document the make, model and serial numbers of your valuables. An owner applied number can be engraved onto articles without manufacturers numbers. Photograph unique items, get insurance appraisals with detailed descriptions. Know the monograms and engravings on expensive furs and jewelry. Protect, do not flaunt your valuables. Use safety deposit boxes.Burglars have been known to take or open safes.

9. Trim shrubbery to eliminate hiding places. Secreted doors can facilitate forced entry. Planting thorny bushes beneath windows makes it difficult for potential burglars to enter.

10. Dogs can be very effective deterrents, and a "beware of dog" sign, whether you have a dog or not often dissuade potential burglars. Have a trusted friend care for your dog in your home while you are away.

11. Keep blinds and drapes closed at night to discourage peeping toms, do not hang lingerie outdoors, and remain aware of current events.

Taking these measures will decrease the odds of your home being burglarized and enable the Greenwich Police Department to dedicate more resources towards placing more police officers on the post Road.

Greenwich Parking Services

2008-01-12T19:44:00.000-08:00

Greenwich Parking Services

Director: Allen L. Corry, CAPP

Phone: (203) 618-3060

Fax: (203) 618-3065

Email: Parking Services Department

Hours: Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.Closed on Town Holidays

Location: Town Hall - ground floor

Information:

The Town of Greenwich Department of Parking Services was founded in 2004 at the direction of First Selectman Jim Lash to help the municipality deal more effectively and consistently with matters related to parking. Establishment of such a department was suggested in a 2002 study of municipal parking completed by the consulting firm Desman Associates. Click here to read the study.

The new department represents a consolidation of municipal assets that had formerly been assigned to several diverse organizational elements of town government. Resources and responsibilities previously assigned to the Police, Finance and Public Works Departments formed the foundation of the municipality's newest department.

The Department of Parking Services is responsible for:
Managing municipal parking infrastructure and resources throughout the Town of Greenwich.
The issuance of municipal and railroad station Parking Permits
Encouraging appropriate parking through the issuance of parking Violation Tickets

Collecting revenue from and maintaining the municipal parking meter system

Providing fiscal stewardship over the Town's Parking Fund
The Department of Parking Services has occupied new office space at Town Hall. The new office serves as a single point of contact location for all municipal parking services, including the issuance of parking permits, payment of parking violation tickets and the rental of metered parking spaces to facilitate construction or special events.
