The family had installed a video surveillance system to monitor the outside and the inside of the house, and deputies were able to review the video and a picture of the suspect was released to the public urging anyone with information to call the sheriff’s office. Royal says his office received a number of annonymous phone calls which identified the suspect at a Brett Bartlett, 54 years old of Penn Valley.
