Veteran broker John Frey has been recognized as a top unit and volume producer for the fourth month this year across the Coldwell Banker Ridgefield and Redding offices, continuing a record of success in the local real estate market. A licensed broker since 1987, Frey is ranked among the top 1.5% of real estate agents nationwide according to RealTrends 2026. He previously served as Chairman of the Connecticut Real Estate Commission and has been honored as Ridgefield Realtor of the Year and Ridgefield Citizen of the Year. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation for market expertise, professionalism, and a client-first approach, helping generations of families navigate important real estate decisions. “John’s performance continues to reflect an exceptional level of professionalism, market expertise, and client dedication,” said Joseph Porricelli, Managing Broker for Coldwell Banker Realty Ridgefield-Redding, Newtown, and Southbury. “His consistent results and long-standing reputation in the community set a standard for excellence across our offices.” Frey’s commitment to personalized service continues to earn strong client loyalty and referrals throughout the region.

The Pardue Brothers – A True Crime Documentary with Connecticut Ties, holding “Tell Us What You Remember” sessions in Danbury
Come share your memories and stories for an upcoming true crime documentary about the 1970 Danbury bank robberies and bombings. The production team will sit down with you for a brief recorded interview, and you are welcome to bring along any historical photographs, clippings, or letters to be documented. Attendance is free and no appointment is required.
The Pardue Brothers – A True Crime Documentary with Connecticut Ties, holding “Tell Us What You Remember” sessions in Danbury
On February 13, 1970, three explosions tore through Danbury, CT.This was to be the finale of a stranger than fiction story, involving 2 brothers, that started in 1968 which involved bank robberies and murders in locations in Redding, Georgetown, and Vista, New York, as well as Missouri. Two of the murders were the brothers’ own father and grandmother. 
Filmmaker, Blaze Mazur of Ridgefield, CT and Daniel J. Mulvihill, Jr., of Danbury, have extensively researched this story for over half a decade, having poured over thousands of pages of FBI files, National Archive materials, and filing FOIA requests with more than 20 agencies.They are still discovering many strange and unbelievable facts about this case and need local help from people who remember these crimes to bring the whole picture into focus before the memories of these crimes are lost forever. 
The pair will be holding a second “Tell Us What You Remember” session. The session will be on Friday, October 2 at the Danbury Museum also from 10am to 4pm. What the documentary makers are looking for are people who remember- a lead, a photograph, a clipping or those who want to give an interview on camera. They wish to tell this story truthfully so that the victims and their loved one, the witnesses and law enforcement are honored and their story is respected. 
To bring this film to full fruition, a fundraising effort is underway. The project is fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, which makes your contributions and corporate donations tax-deductible.
For information on the film and to contribute please go to theparduebrothers.com&nbsp;If you have any questions or would like to write to us directly you can do that at info@theparduebrothers.com


Thank you for helping make this film possible.
