What evidence do they have linking him to the killing of SS, but not to the killing of the others?
Or is this just standard operating procedure ?

To preserve the option of a plea bargain if he was just the dumb tag a long. To keep the federal death penalty card off the table. To give him a chance if he was just part of the gang to turn the rest in with a chance he gets to spend his spend his 80's in a nursing home. Remember, all they have is he was in the house. They can get him on 4 murders as is, but there is more here. They are smart to play their cards close to their vest. At this point, the one charge holds him without bail. Thats all they need today. Why show your hole cards before you need too? Sure they know more more than are saying, but they dont know all.

They need too. We all need to. This was the smart move. I am hugely impressed how well LE has done their job.

Thanks, so this was a strategic move on the part of LE/the prosecutor. Good to know and thanks for the information.

I think they are waiting to forensically link any others to the crime. They are being watched and have been told don't leave town. Just like in the movies....
In terms of assistant, thinking he is covering something....maybe nothing related to this particular crime, maybe knowledge of another type....so in covering one, impeded recovering facts on another. Thus the lie.

That could be. It occurred to me that maybe he was embezzling part of the money. Say he managed to get $50K but told the boss $40K.

Although the lying about where you left the money and what type of packaging it was in seems pointless. And it also seems like something you'd remember for 24 hours.

Maybe though he did get it in whatever package he Instagram'd and then wanted to change up the package description to throw people off the trail of the real package.

Is it clear that assistant knew the freaky felon (I refuse to use his name) from prior employment? If so, I think this was all a big set up and the assistant was involved.

I don't believe that to be clear at all. The assistant reportedly previously worked at and was let go from the go kart track in Maryland. I think he also races cars? I have not seen anything linking the killer to the go kart track or the assistant. I don't know why someone made that comment earlier, maybe they were just confused or throwing out possibilities.

The assistant told two very different versions of how he picked up and then dropped off the money. He only changed his story when confronted by police with text messages that contradicted his first version.

What was the assistant's motive for not telling the truth to the police the first time??

No one will believe me but... The husband once told me he was spending a year in the carribean to avoid certain tax issues. My guess is either a) the assistant was accustomed to some cash dealings and spoke before he knew of the murder, b) the assistant assumed hed be fired if he told the truth

on b) theory, fired if he told the truth? to the police? after they were murdered? huh

I had the same thought. I was my CEO's gatekeeper. However, I would have consulted a trusted Sr. Mgt. personnel if I felt the rquest seemed odd or out of character. Regardless, if questioned by authorities I would have told them everything. Even if it meant I would lose my job. I would have called work gut quickly sought out he advice of law enforcement. But, perhaps ai am different. Law Enforcement ranks over my company. The family was killed afterall. But, I cannot judge. Maybe the delivery of cash was normal. Not in any company I have worked for. There is a protocol in place and controls.

Does anyone know why they think it started at 6 pm on Wednesday?

Assistant would probably know when only housekeeper there. And could know that she'd let people in if they said boss sent them to do something. May not have expected kid to be home. Why did boss garage have a bunch of strange vests?

No legit enterprise deals in cash like that. You wire money these days.

This is my point, also. There are checks and balances, in the interest of every last person there (in the company), believe it or not. Most people don't want to believe it. It would be easier to think that "hey, let's hit her up for some money..." It does NOT work that way. But was SS not on the up and up (to have traveled and stayed in Jamaica for a year - if that is what happened)? Who does that? Was he trying to exhaust some statute of limitations? Hiding from penalties or persons? Has anyone clarified this?

When SS was expected home from work, is my guess. Not that that meant much, because offices (for money) were already closed anyway. I am concerned about people saying too much about the process, however.

I don't see how being abroad for a year helps anything if you are involved in tax fraud. Maybe it was a residency thing. He had to spend more than 183 days outside US in the year, so 6 months in one year followed by 6 months in another country works to make him a nonresident for 2 years. If the year a big transaction took place could be legit way to be treated as a nonresident. In which case he simply followed the law. I don't think most smart people would discuss being on the lam, hiding out.

OMG, Savvas needed this money to try and bargain for the lives of his families. Meanwhile, the assistant was goofing off taking pictures and not realizing how f**king serious the situation was. He thought it was a lark, part of the intrigue of working for an extremely wealthy guy. It's not his fault in any way, but he must feel like crap about it.

(I don't believe he was in any way involved in the murders other than an unwitting participant to the money acquisition and drop)
