Maybe it was a cash payment to a contractor or subcontractor?

Who pays 40K in cash? That's ridiculous.

Didn't the assistant deliver the money by leaving it outside the door? Who leaves 40K in cash outside in a box?

The housekeeper is making herself look shady as hell.

From the Washington Post:
As an intruder held a family and their housekeeper captive inside a Northwest Washington home last Thursday, a man dropped off a package containing $40,000, according to law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation.

Hours later, the multi-million dollar house was on fire and Savvas Savopoulos, 46, his wife Amy, 47, their 10-year-old son Philip, and the housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa, 57, were dead inside. When firefighters arrived, the cash was gone, as was a blue Porsche owned by the family.

The housekeeper said that the assistant told her there would be a delivery. It's unclear if she knew this in advance or if she discussed the murders with the assistant and learned this later. I'm pretty surprised that the investigators haven't asked her to stop talking to the press. She wasn't initially someone I suspected but it does seem strange that the police would not try to reign her in unless they were giving her rope to hang herself. She may have not heard from the perps and is nervous and doesn't know what to do so she's foolishly being 'helpful' to the press. Maybe she thinks that having the press close will keep the perps away from her. Who knows.

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 am with you. It's her reaction, or rather lack of one, that raises red flags for me as well as her inconsistent stories. She may be innocent, but she's a logical suspect (motive, opportunity, convenient alibi) and she isn't helping herself at all. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Who cares? I'm not judging all housekeepers. In fact, a poor, innocent one was murdered at her job. I'm judging this one by her own actions and story. I don't know how she's even out of bed, let alone running around giving all these interviews. I'd be so depressed. And frankly, I'm not worried about the surviving housekeeper's family reading this thread and what they feel. If they are upset maybe they should explain to her.

Electricians, plumbers, any number of contractors! $40k isn't that much money when dealing with contractors.

According to Nelitza Gutierrez, a housekeeper working for the Savopoulos family, $40,000 in cash was to be delivered to the house on Woodland Drive last Thursday morning, the day the bodies were found.

In an off-camera interview, Gutierrez says an assistant was scheduled to drop off the cash to be used for the opening of a martial arts center in Chantilly, Virginia. The housekeeper says she spoke with the person who was supposed to make the delivery and he confirmed he dropped it off at the house Thursday morning.

Why wouldn't you use a cashier's check instead? I'm not regularly paying people $40,000, so I don't know... Can't you make a cashier's check for that much? Can't anyone just cash a cashier's check, no problem...?

No, only the payee can cash a cashier's check.

So these sickos killed 4 people including that boy for 40K. How sad.

If someone knew in advance that $40,000 cash was scheduled to be delivered to the Savoloupos house on Thursday morning, wouldn't it just be easier to plan to intercept the person who was delivering the cash? This makes no sense. Or did the instruction to deliver the $40,000 cash to the house on Thursday morning, only come from Mr. Savoloupos after he and the family were taken hostage?

+1. I wonder if SS, while held hostage, called an assistant and asked that the money be left outside of the door with some excuse, but the money was actually supposed to be the ransom to the criminals. I am sure the police has already determine this with the assistant, primarily if SS had planned this days before or if there was a call at the last moment. if it was planned days before and the maid knew about it, it is not impossible that maybe not her, but people close to her (crazy son/nephew/cousin...) found out through her big mouth and decided to take advantage.

COME ON---nobody would ever tell their HOUSEKEEPER $40k in cash is getting delivered. WTF?? If she was signing for something, etc...how the hell would she know--hey be home when the bag with $40k shows up. This woman is going down.

She may have known the assistant delivering the money.

It does not surprise me that employees of the same man would know each other and would talk about what just happened - if not to comfort one another!

How would the "assistant" gain access to 40K cash? Doesn't add up. The assistant knows the schedule of the family and seems to be in close contact with the housekeeper.?.?.?

[Anonymous]

ok, so she knows in advance 40K is being dropped off. and then she says the family was acting strangely. and then she gets weird texts from the dad and amy. and then the dad calls her to tell her that veralicia was staying at the house, which she herself said she never did, and to call Vera's husband to tell him so because Vera's phone wasn't working? and after all of this, she doesn't call the police or anything on wednesday???? good god.

SICKENING. I can see if it was 1mil+ MAYBE but to kill over so little? It's never okay or right, but why would they even bother for 40k? So terrible. They could have taken far more and let the people live.
