Here is the original 911 call. There is a break where he gives his phone number then it continues to the end of the call.

Colts Neck fire 911 call
I’m not surprised about the 2020 trial estimate. So many trials I’ve followed have taken two years or more to get going. I’m glad the prosecutor made that clear. But calling professional women “girls”?Sigh. I’m sure he meant it as a sign of affection for the “guys and girls” but it bugs me just the same. I won’t hold it against him though. He’s done a good job.

IMO, PC set fire to the dining room (usually the furthest from the garage and the living/sleeping areas) and the corner of the garage, so that "someone" saw. if you were mob, would you approach a home that was already surrounded by fire/police/ambulance?
and at precisely 5:00am? still dark, and knowing you can get your wife/kids out...

Colts Neck killings spur calls for death penalty in N.J.
Following the grisly deaths of a family in Colts Next last month, lawmakers in a mostly rural swath of northwest New Jersey are calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty in the state.
“The gruesome murder of the Caneiro family is proof that we must reinstate the death penalty," state Sen. Steven Oroho and Assemblymen Parker Space and Harold Wirths, all Republicans from District 24, said in a statement.

Calling this the “most brutal” case in his career, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni said last week that he would approve this as a capital punishment case, if it was an option in New Jersey.
Colts Neck murders: Paul Caneiro was 'never the same' after 2012 car crash, friend says
question...in this and many other articles why are none of their family/friends/neighbors specifically asked not to be named?
rare in these cases. most want their "moment of fame"...this is a rhetorical question obviously...

It doesn't take any physical strength to fire a gun. But does a person with this level of described physical impairment following an accident seem like someone who would be capable of the stabbing violence of 3 persons? I know they may have been asleep, and the mom was also shot, but stabbing seems so physically aggressive.In the linked article, a close friend is named and a neighbor isn’t. It sounds like PC has been through a horrible experience and is finally recovering after six years.
Quoting the article:
Paul Caneiro, 51, suffered injuries to his head, body, limbs and nervous system in the November 2012 crash at the intersection of Springwood Avenue and Memorial Drive, according to a lawsuit his attorney filed related to the crash.
Caneiro was heading east on Springwood Avenue less than a quarter mile from the businesses he helped run in the center of Asbury Park when his vehicle collided with another vehicle traveling north on Memorial Drive, according to a civil complaint filed in state Superior Court in Monmouth County.
Family friend Demetris Potamianos said Caneiro required "surgery after surgery after surgery" on his neck, back and shoulders in the years following the accident. He said the recovery took a physical and emotional toll on Caneiro and he was "never the same."
“He was somebody who was taking care of his family, he’s full of life, he’s full of activity, travel and then all of the sudden, he’s immobilized," Potamianos said. "You have to go through surgery and you have to take medication, you’re not allowed to travel, you’re in pain — I mean emotionally definitely at some point it gets to you,” he said.
A neighbor of Caneiro's who spoke to the Asbury Park Press and asked not to be named also said Caneiro "wasn't the same" after the accident, which left him with a limp and back problems.
But recently Caneiro was on the road to recovery, Potamianos said, and was even cleared by doctors to take a trip to Europe after the upcoming holiday season.

I know they may have been asleep, and the mom was also shot, but stabbing seems so physically aggressive.
The accident left him with a permanent limp and back problems, he's in his 50s, out of shape and a bit overweight.
I cannot wrap my head around how he overcame them all, how did he chase his brother to the yard, why didn't the wife wake up, why couldn't the wiggly 11 year old boy scamper away?
"You have to go through surgery and you have to take medication, you’re not allowed to travel, you’re in pain — I mean emotionally definitely at some point it gets to you,” he said.
I think he meant it as a sign of affection too, he goes on to explain it further and talks about procedures, why the trial may not begin until 2020. Also PC and detention
Colts Neck murders: Paul Caneiro was set to control much of the family's fortune
Control of much of the murdered Caneiro family's fortune would have gone to Paul Caneiro, the man accused of killing his brother, sister-in-law and their young children, under the terms of the family’s will, the Asbury Park Press has learned.
The 2006 will named Paul Caneiro, 51, as the executor of the Caneiro estate if his brother, Keith, and his wife Jennifer, both died. Moreover, if there were no wife or children to inherit Keith Caneiro’s fortune, Paul Caneiro would have sole control over a number of significant trust funds.
The will, filed in probate court Thursday, had been contested by Jennifer Caneiro’s mother. As a result, Paul Caneiro, who is in the Monmouth County Jail charged with four counts of murder, two counts of aggravated arson and other offenses, has been removed as executor of the estate, according to a probate court notice. Cesar Caneiro, Paul and Keith's father, has been named executor.

It’s true that PC suffers from physical impairment, but after numerous surgeries he’s been cleared by his doctor to travel to Europe, so he has enough strength for that. I don’t think his injuries would have prevented him from committing this crime. We don’t know that PC “chased” his brother to the yard. KC may have come outside and been ambushed. He could have used a silencer to avoid waking anyone. One well-placed stab, and no “wiggly” boy is going to be able to “scamper away.”
