COLLINS — A cold case investigator from Florida is on the ground here, asking pointed questions about Fred Reer and the death of a former Norwalk man, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Paul Souslin, 38, lived in Norwalk before moving to Florida. He was a business partner of Reer’s at the time he was found dead in his Tampa-area home on Feb. 20, 2020.
