I am not reading your inane, ignorant musings, but I can see that this thread is up to 107 pages.

That is disgusting.

Move along, this family deserves more respect than a bunch of people judging them, oggling salacious tidbits about their life and death.

Just stop.

Amen. This is just salacious entertainment for people but a whole family - a child for god sakes - just lost his life in the most horrific way imaginable. Take a second to ask yourself if that were your child, your family, how would you feel about people engaging themselves in this revolting speculation??!? This is pure entertainment for too many of you people. Turn on the Kardashians or whatever lowlife entertainment usually does it for you and have some respect for the DEAD. It isn't a game or a soap opera or a whodunit. Real people have suffered horrifically. Have some respect.

Why did you open this thread if you feel this way?

I can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure a lot of the people posting, checking, etc are mostly just anxious, empathetic, sympathetic and scared. Sure, there are posters speculating, but it could be a coping mechanism, trying to understand what happened and trying to put a face on the unknown. I really don't think the majority of people checking this thread are in it for the entertainment.

I don't know. Have you called the police and asked?

The police are not giving out details in the case. The home for sale nearby has limited line of sight to the Savopoulos home.

So sad forthis poor man and Vera's children in El Salvador-they seem to be good people.

Yes, you can tell from the housekeeper's photo that she seemed to be a kind person.

My suspicion is that she was the one person whose body didn't show evidence of beating/lacerations, and that she was murdered almost as soon as the psychopaths entered the house. If that's so, then that's at least some small consolation for her grieving husband. Poor man, I really feel for him.

The husband of Veralicia Figueroa has experienced an incomprehensible loss, I feel so much for his sorrow and pain. I think he knew that something was off when he visited the house, and in retrospect, he certainly wishes that he had trusted his instinct. That uncertainty, the what-if question or moment of action or inaction, will probably haunt him for a long time.

Those criminals robbed so many normal, good, just-living-their-lives, ordinary, everyday people of so much forever. I wish that even the most neglected, affronted, hurt, angry, isolated, misunderstood, or criminal people could understand that there is no such thing as a point of no return. That you can always change the course of your actions, and your life. And that there is always the good option to keep a life, rather than to take it. For in committing these barbaric acts, they also close off their own lives to the peace, the future, and the enjoyment of life that might have been.

The murderers must have been using drugs. Not that they weren't clearly evil to begin with but I have to think only some kind of intoxication could allow people to commit such barbarity with such insouciance (ordering a pizza, wtf?!?)

Also, she met Savvas on Wednesday, then he leaves her a voice message that same night but she only (conveniently) listens to it on Thursday morning, followed by txt msg from Amy, and yet was already cleaning another house in McLean?

Her entire justification chain is way too scripted and seems artificially designed to exclude her from the scene and from any involvement.

I think the perpetrators had her as an accomplice, which would explain no forced entry, no dogs barking, and the entire insistence that she should not come to work that day.

I agree! It appears that most posts specualting this theory are deleted-not sure why?

The ME would be able to tell if the lacerations were done over a long period of time. Suggesting torture.

Meh. Why not just pick a day she wasn't supposed to come anyway. Didn't she only work 2 days a week there? I'm still unclear why they needed TWO housekeepers, but never mind that.

Plus his body was burned badly (beyond recognition). There was at least one person who came out of that house alive and died later.

Do we know if Phillip was at school on Wednesday? I was thinking that perhaps Amy left to go pick up Phillip at school (this would probably be around 2:30), leaving the maid there alone. The perps, probably observing the house form nearby, are able to gain entry past the maid and kill her before Amy and Phillip return. They return from school and are ambushed, and then they force Amy to call SS and get him to return from the dojo in Chantilly. It would be interesting to know if Nellie recall SS receiving a call from Amy while they were together in Chantilly. In the article or interview I read, Nellie only says that SS mentioned to her that he had to be home early to take care of Phillip (because Amy was going out), but did he actually get a call?

People want answers-peoplw have an innate need to explain and understand such atrocities. I have not seen anyone on this board who seems entertained by this horrific crime (with the exceprion of one a-hole who stated they would like to buy the crime scene home for cheap). People want answers, I would like to think that we are all horrified by this incident-especially the fate of that sweet innocent boy. |I hope they find the perps soon and that the death penalty is allowed in this case.

Yes, I heard two times a week but only one housekeeper came at a time?
