Fear Thy Neighbor on ID is examining the murder of Mark Xander by neighbor Charles “Pete” Richter Jr in Stevensville, Maryland, in 2011.
Richter was a retired cop who moved into the same street as Xander 14 years before he killed him. The pair had argued for years over various noise complaints, but it was Xander’s dog that caused the feud to turn particularly bitter and violent.
