this is what I got. From 2:06 " …possession of the large knife that Ryan had brought into the home. Fingerprint analysts found partial prints on the knife for which the defendant could not be excluded. Autopsy findings on Christine's body are consistent with her arms being pinned down while she was stabbed once through the left side of her neck. An immobilized Christine instinctively and defensively could only turn her head away from this blow but this exposed the right side of her neck where she was then stabbed repeatedly, five more times. At 7:47, Peres Magalhaes who was in the bedroom as well, called 911. But, it would appear that this call was too soon for this defendant, given what he knew he still had to do, and that call was terminated after just 8 seconds without explanation. We know Peres Magathes was in that room when she made the call, and we know much of what had happened simply by listening to that call. The sound you will hear in the background is a wounded Joe Ryan, still alive and moaning in agony and despair Within seconds, 911 operators called back to Peres Magalhaes' phone but for some unknown reason got no answer from the co-defendant. Fully 15 minutes would pass before the co-defendant made her second call. The analysis of the Forensic team of experts in this case explains what happened in that 15-minute timeframe. The Commonwealth's evidence will show that both Christine's and Joe Ryan's body were moved and repositioned in the room. Ryan's knapsack was repacked with the items he had brought to the house except that the knife was not. Instead, it was positioned on the floor a few feet from his and Christine's body. His arms were intentionally positioned across his body as if in a funeral pose and then smeared with Christine's blood. This finding. specifically, is confirmed by the actual smearing pattern present and the location of a second gunshot wound, which entered Ryan's chest in a downward angle from 7-8 feet away and was found only after paramedics lifted his left arm to reveal that bullet's entry wound. That shot was delivered by the co-defendant during that 15-minute gap and killed Joe Ryan, immediately, exploding and ….. his heart. We know this because she confessed to detectives later that day that the defendant instructed her to go to a safe in closet, retrieve the second 9mm handgun, the same one that he had….. month before, and return to the bedroom and shoot Ryan as he had every reason to discuss circumstances which supposedly brought him face to face with a home intruder who was in the process of killing his wife, Instead made only minimal statements at the scene save but a few off-the-cuff comments which were telling in and of themselves. In one, he claimed to first responders that the 15-minute gap between 911….." From 2:24 "…later searched his car that day they found the egg McMuffin with but a single bite having been taken out of it during the entire 20 minutes of its existence. Apparently, the defendant didn't have much of an appetite that morning. White the defendant parked and waited at that MeDonaids, outside his residence, a few doors down in the cut-de sac, his co-defendant had not left for the zoo with the chitd. Instead, she was waiting, as well. She claimed to police that she had forgotten the childs lunch and was preparing to go back to the house when, at 7:30, os Ring camera footage showed, Joe Ryan pulled up to the Banfield's. Peres Megalhaes told detectives he parked his car in the driveway and entered the home carrying with him a bag. According to cell phone records and Peres Mogalhaes statements to detectives, she was supposedly fearful and uncertain so she called Christine's cellphone, but it went to voicemail. She then called the defendant’s phone and spoke with him. The defendant called his wife's phone, as well. But someone knew there would be no answer because Christine’s phone was not where one would expect, at her side as she slept, perhaps on the nightstand, but, instead, it had been turned off and strangely placed in a drawer just of the living room on the first floor of the house, where detectives would discover it later that morning. Ring camera footage shows the defendant returned to the house at 7:37. Upon his arrival. he, his co-defendant, and his daughter approached the house but, as his co-defendant explained to detectives, instead of entering through the front door, the defendant took them to the side of the house, through the gate of the fenced yard and around the back where they then made entry into the basement. The defendant and co-defendant gave the child her iPad and instructions to stay there. They secured her there as they locked o child's gate behind them as they then ascended the stairs to the first and then the second floor. On August 16, 2024 Fairfax County Police received two definitive reports from expert Forensic investigators who spent over a year reviewing photographs of the bedroom as a appeared just after Christine and Joe were brutally murdered as well as extensive tangible evidence and certificates of analysis related to blood DNA end fingerprints. Based on this es of forensic science, along with inculpatory… commonwealth will establish at trial the following…" |
This was not a case where either victim died instantly. The horror and suffering over this time is sickening to contemplate. I still am not buying a gun in a safe in a closet, I think both defendants had the victims at gunpoint quickly.
Thanks for typing out the above, PP. Just utter depravity and indifference to human life. With a CHILD in the home who then was forced to play happy familiy with her mommy's killers. |
The premeditation is out of this world. I wonder how much Brendan’s mom knew once she lived in the house for over a year. I mean, Brendan and Juliana were playing house. Sleeping in the marital bedroom together while the child, Brendan’s mom and his grandmother lived in the home… |
There just is no way jm got a gun from that safe. Very early on there was a photo published of the safe in the closet. It had a dial combo and was on the floor of the closet. So the story is, under unbelievable stress, she goes to the closet and turn the dial right to 12 left twice past 12 to 36 then right to 22. Nope. this is just one more thing that never happened. |
It is utterly disgusting and I wish the Commonwealth all the luck in locking the 3 of them up for a very long time. The apple did not fall far from the tree there. |

JR arrived at 7:30 and BB only arrived 7 minutes later. I wonder what happened in those 7 mins. It’s too risky for them to just have an awake and lucid CB in the house with JR for 7 minutes. She could have come downstairs, heard a noise, etc.
Also, the fact that her cellphone was in the living room… Maybe she was still asleep? |
Cell phone in a drawer on the first floor while sleeping upstairs.... Nobody does that |
Obviously BB turned off and relocated her phone as part of the plan. |
Joe Ryan was also in contact from someone using Christine’s phone from the night before. Likely Juliana pretending to be CB. CB probably hadn’t had her phone for a while |
Wow, thank you to whoever transcribed all of that!
So if Christine‘s phone was turned off and in a drawer, Joe, who had been sent there on a ruse, could not have been communicating with “her” that morning. |
Yes, and that is the part We will likely never know the complete story about since the only ones that can attest to it are lying psychopath. |
This is just speculation – trigger warning – but remembering how Joe’s friend said he was meeting up with a couple. Could’ve been part of the scenario that Joe waits downstairs until the “husband comes home”. Obviously all set up by BB and JPM. |
Unbelievably depraved.
I'm glad VA abolished the death penalty, but if there was ever a case for it, this is it. |
I pulled it from YouTube. I was surprised to see when I looked that the text of the documents was ocr-ed by YouTube (or my laptop).I just copied and pasted into a text file and cleaned up some of the formatting and ocr errors. I still missed some errors in transcription |
