Interesting, wonder if that will change as the investigation continues. Wonder what the date was on the photo of the au pair and BB? Anyone have a sense of a timeline on that relationship? Still wonder if the JR thing was consensual with BB or if JR was set up as the fall guy with BB's encouragement? Hard to imagine having him pop in right after BB left for work and with au pair and child in the house if BB was not aware. That is why there are hotels, etc. Him knowing would fit that "hotwife" scene the VA politician and husband also into. Guess time will tell. |
I’m new to this but just read the entire thread. What jumps out at me is the 15 minutes between AP calling 911 (and hanging up without speaking) and the second call when both BB and AP spoke (and didn’t have their stories straight, despite the 15 minute lapse between calls). I suspect that at least one victim, JR CB or both, was attacked during the 15 minute lapse between calls to 911. |
The other interesting thing from the press conference is that the husband was not inside the home when JR was shot. |
Can someone translate? From what I got someone asks if they’re dating and the first word is no but the rest of it sounds like they are… |
The question box in pink says something like “are you dating a Brazilian or American? Tell me more” Her response is loosely: “ No, he's American, and it's been months, he's 38 years old, he treats me like a princess and a hottie (To kill curiosity)” |
Yikes yikes yikes. It’s very stupid (and gross) to post anything about him on social media. |
Yes, but for all we know, this could have of been a picture of from when Christine was alive and they were all out to dinner together. I know that’s a reach, but this girl could post whatever she wants to portray some grand life in America to her friends back home. |
Interesting. And fits with comment above. Wonder how the findings may change if/when Brendan Banfield speaks to LE? Right now they have forensics that tied au pair go gun and her interviews. Is she trying to shield him? |
Possible, but there are said to be several photos. The image I saw was undated, perhaps others have access to the originals which would have date/time. Imagine LE likely does. Two people are dead, a little girl who is going to be an orphan and for what? There were so many other ways to handle unless splitting the money was deemed a no go. |
Just to clarify, I’m not suggesting she posted this when Christine was alive, but the picture could have been taken at that time. She can later post a picture whenever she wants to pretend it took place whenever she wanted it to. Now that’s a reach imo, but this is a 23 yr old au pair, who was willing to shoot a man multiple times. Not normal. |
Look at the name on the IG linked to that hashtag. |
Yes, BBs mother. |
That is what I understood you to mean. The day before was Brendan Banfield's birthday, that still seems significant to me. The next morning, early, he leaves for work at his fed job. Joe Ryan then arrives. Did au pair shoot Joe before or after calling Brendan or in between the call and his arriving home? When was Christine stabbed in this timeline and of course, by who? Why has Brendan Banfield refused to speak to the police/LE outside statements on the 911 call? Has there been any mention of forensics re: the knife? My connection was in and out listening to the press conference but I did not hear it. They seem to have a strategy of turning the screws to get her to flip with the initial what seems like an overcharge. If it is true that her visa was soon to expire, then it makes sense that they acted now. I don't see how Joe would have a motive to harm Christine. If LE believed he was shot while committing a violent crime the au pair would not have been charged, certainly not with this charge. If Joe was set up to be the fall guy/patsy they intended to try to frame, what role does LE seem to think Brendan Banfield had? |
Yep. |
Her IG is private now, but anyone know when the au pair began posting photos of herself and Brendan? Did the postings start before or after the murders? Were they in a relationship prior? Was that discovered by Christine leading to some kind of plot?
So many questions remain re: the stabbing and the clear and obvious lie re: the shooting. Why did Brendan tell 911 he shot him? Since he has a LE job wouldn't he know what forensics would show? When was Christine stabbed? Before Brendan left for work? In between the 911 calls? After Brendan left but before the first 911 call? I thought there was a 45 minute or so gap? It is way easier to shoot someone than to stab them. It is hard to believe Christine would have Joe to the house without Brendan's knowledge, during the day with the au pair and child home and neighbors likely to notice his car in broad daylight. That suggests to me he was aware. We'll see what comes out about how many times he had been there. Still seems like he was to be the fall guy and was in wrong place at wrong time. |
