Brandon Cartellone ////// 777Part 1 of 1  www.TrueCrimeGarage.comOn July 26, 2011 - Brandon Cartellone was viciously killed.  His body was found in his second floor apartment at approximately 1AM on July 27th.  Brandon was just 21 years old.  He was a successful Industrial Design student at the Cleveland Institute of Art.  Brandon’s death continues to be an open wound that will not and cannot heal for the so many people who knew and loved him.  The F.B.I. has taken over the case as it appears that the Cleveland Police Department either lacked the funding, the personnel, or both to conduct a thorough and proper murder investigation.  Law Enforcement still needs your help.  If you have any information regarding this investigation OR information about any of the persons described in this podcast please contact the Cleveland FBI office  216-522-1400.  Online tips can be sent to tips.fbi.gov Beer of the Week - Strange Magic by Fat Head’s Brewery Garage Grade - 3 and 3 quarter bottle caps  More True Crime Garage can be found on Patreon and Apple subscriptions with our show - Off The Record.  Catch dozens of episodes of Off The Record plus a couple of Bonus episodes and our first 50 when you sign up today.  Follow the show on X and Insta @TrueCrimeGarage / Follow Nic on X @TCGNIC / Follow The Captain on X @TCGCaptain  Thanks for listening and thanks for telling a friend.  Be good, be kind, and don’t litter!
