Fairfax County Double Murder

[Anonymous]

Moving into the murder bedroom together is so messed up that they had to have done it. No sane person would move into that bedroom.

“The prosecution presented evidence Friday that Magalhaes and the husband of the family she worked for, 38-year-old Brendan Banfield, had a sexual relationship for months. The attorney showed pictures of the Banfield's bedroom and closet the day of the murders compared to shortly after the au pair's arrest. In the eight months since the murders, it appears the au pair moved all her belongings into the primary bedroom. The prosecution also pointed out two photos of Magalhaes and Brendan Banfield together -- one on a nightstand and another on a dresser.”

The same bedroom the wife was stabbed/ murdered in?

I think the murders may have occurred in another room, but, not sure.

Saw elsewhere a friend of Joe claimed he was in rigor mortis, if true, that would mean killed 2-4 hours before LE arrived. Maybe he WAS there overnight? Seems he must have arrived prior to BB leaving. If the rigor mortis is true then throws the timeline discussed here in to question.

And the child would have been asleep. Makes much more sense.

And 2/23 was Brendan Banfield's birthday. That may have been part of an excuse he could have used to coerce Christine into this "scene" if it was something new to them. And if she felt him pulling away would add to pressure she may have felt. I think she was quite broken down emotionally within that marriage. And it is a clever way to lure a strange man to your home to frame.

All utterly pointless and tragic.

This situation is so sick and so sad.

It's also sad that Joe and Christine's personal lives are under scrutiny. They were consenting adults and frankly, I'm not interested in their sexual lives or how they knew each other. They weren't doing anything illegal but they will be dragged through the mud with no ability to speak up for themselves. And, unless her family is able to shield her forever, the little girl will learn all about this someday.

They may not even have had sex, whole thing could have been a ruse to lure.

Little girl could see daddy wasn't sad and someone else was in mommy's bed.

And then they had his and her mother, smearing JR by proxy, including in a big splashy article last weekend.

She was so BRAZEN she went and got another passport when the police held hers.

Any criminal lawyers on here? Her lawyer filed for this hearing, I believe. Was that a tactic to get the government to show some of their case?

BB has to be sweating now. Is that little girl safe there or will he do something even more stupid? Hope LE is watching closely.

I am not sure she will flip, I think their delusions are very deep. Hope they have enough to get him locked up a long time without her.

I think these people are despicable, but I always thought for some reason it was a guest bedroom, which is why they said bodies were found in an upstairs bedroom, not the master bedroom.

Who could do this to their child?! Therapy is not gonna fix the primal mother loss, what her father has done or how she has been forced to live since 2/24, which is beyond sick. Not to mention the public nature of all of this and how lurid it is.

There had to be signs he was profoundly off. Manipulative, deceptive, twisted.

Had he confessed, none of this would have become public, but he's been reliving his teens with the hot girl and doesn't care about the inevitable fallout for his little girl.

I'm not sure he's a narcissist, don't they care how things look? These 2 are something else.

I agree it was likely a guest room.

It’s almost like they’re getting off on the fact that they’re both sick twisted psychopaths.

Two people were murdered because a coward was scared of divorce.

Such a coward. He denied his child her mother for the rest of her life for a little side piece he’ll tire of in 3 years.

3 years? Ha. He wishes. She is behind bars and with any luck, he will be too. They got about a year to the date from when she started posting coupley photos on IG. And maybe a FOB show. Game over now.

Pointless.

Where are the shriekers so concerned with Brendan Robert Banfields' reputation now?

Please someone get that poor child out of that house.

My heart hurts for the little girl and for Christine and Joes friends and families.

I'm sure her family was prepared by LE but to hear the details right down to photos in the bedroom 8 months out is a gut punch. They knew each other since teens, so much shared history and so much harm to a little girl that will impact her for life.

Tragic would be mom killed in a car accident. What is the word for all of this?

This girl is only hot if you’re a sad average looking, middle aged man who wants to feel like you’re still good enough to get a 23 year old Brazilian girl. That just sounds cool, regardless of her looks. As far as midlife crisis cheat moves, this is a used Corvette. Sure, it’s used, but but it’s still a Corvette, so good for me! Maybe that’ll impress the fantasy football guys!

I am honestly worried for her well-being. I have no idea how CPS involvement or child custody works in cases like this, but I sincerely hope she is able to be raised by someone in Christine's family, if they are able.

By the way, obviously BB and AP are going to go with, “we fell in love because we were grieving together, it just sort of happened!” 🥴
