im sadly picturing the housekeeper and the boy together in the boy's room where the fire started - maybe their bodies were the most harmed by the fire and that's why identification needs to be made in a more time consuming manner. To the PP who posited that the alive housekeeper seemed cold, she's interviewee here and does not seem cold, she seems genuine and forthcoming and upset to me: http://www.wjla.com/articles/2015/05/4-found-dead-after-house-fire-were-homicide-victims-police-say-114003.html |

Oh that makes my heart hurt. I was really hoping the child was spared additional trauma. I hope he was unconscious if fire/smoke was ultimately the cause of death. I pray he felt no pain. |

Makes me cry. I agree with your insights. |

PP, was it a pickup truck with an actual vacuum in it, or a dart van/truck with a picture of a vacuum on it? Were they actually selling vacuums? Who sells things like that door to door anymore? |

It still seems most likely -- with this collection of facts -- that it was the home invasion scenario. The intruders came in sometime Wednesday night, captured the family, and said they would be released unharmed on Thursday after a major withdrawal from a bank (banks don't open early -- sometimes 9:30 or even 10 am). In this scenario, they would not have allowed the housekeeper to leave but would have needed an explanation so her family did not report her missing to police. With his wife and child held captive, the father would have had the motivation to be convincing to try to preserve the status quo and keep everyone alive with cooperation.
On Thursday morning, after the intruders got more money, they killed all of them and set the fire to destroy evidence. They were long gone by the time the flames had engulfed the house enough for the alarm to go off. The Porsche may have been used by one of the parents to go get money from the bank, and then abandoned by the criminals who had an accompanying vehicle. |

Saavas spoke to his sister on Thursday and was untroubled, WaPo reported. |

| i'm merely speculating and throwing out possibilities, but is there a chance there was something at the father's office that the perp(s) knew about and wanted? a safe? maybe that's why the car was abandoned not too far from the father's office? again, i have no evidence to support this theory, and i'm not even sure i think it's what happened..just thinking. |

yeah, this is the one thing that doesn't make sense. But everything else points to things starting to get very strange Wed night. |

I was thinking "payroll," and then thinking, 'no, nobody pays with cash anymore,' but perhaps in an industry with lots of casual day laborers a business would keep lots of cash on hand at the office? |

Unless he held it together well in a short conversation -- again, under duress -- and she didn't pick up anything in a short telephone call? |
