That was my first thought as well. Especially when he lived in DC and his company was HQd in MD. Chantilly is quite the drive.

Personal passion? I grew up playing a sport that I invest heavily in with my time and wallet as an adult because I recognize the ways it molded me to be a better adult.

So now I have this question. If you are instructor level in the Martial Arts, why would a perp not take YOU out FIRST ? You are his major threat, being a man plus being trained to fight. Why beat and stab the weaker ones ? We only know how the mother, son, housekeeper died, not how he died.

All were found on the second story. Were they attacked as they slept ? I wonder what they were wearing when found.

Last I checked Martial Arts can't really beat a gun. It was also released in the press that he had blunt force trauma to the head. The mother did not.

I have been following this thread but perhaps I missed a page or two- I remember reading 3 out of 4 had injuries. So the only person who didn't was the father? That little boy was hit then?

Why would he, the Dad, ask his housekeeper to help out at a site where construction was going on ? He told her Tuesday, Wednesday, skip Thursday them come to the studio Friday. Then everyone dies on Thursday.

I'm wondering if he owned the business place where the Martial Arts studio was set to open ?

His hedge fund office is around there too.

And if he came by because he was concerned, how did having no one answer the door where his wife is suppose to be working alleviate his concern? Also, why would husband leave two messages? That is strange. I don't get the concern over the maid (in this context, of course). I don't know. Her whole story has sounded strange from the beginning to me. And why wouldn't he send a better distress signal? Would have been easy to give her some verifiably wrong obvious fact that she would have instantly picked up on. And he apparently got to call her a couple of times. I think there is some monkey business with his business going on.

Maybe there's monkey business, maybe not... but in the non-monkey business scenario, if I were being held hostage with my spouse and child and being threatened with violence, making a phone call/sending a text with a knife to my throat or gun to my head or my child's head, I might not be thinking clearly enough to send a distress message that would be perfectly obvious to the recipient but would also seem perfectly normal to the guy with the gun. "Easy" my ass.

"hey Melinda don't come in tomorrow"
"Hi mr savapsosloududuhs, this is Amy, I'm not sure who Melinda is... Did you mean to text this to me?"
What the fuck is this? Who did to text? Tell me now or I shoot your wife in the head.

Doesn't seem so obvious easy to me either.

It's a legitimate tax entity.

There is no question in my mind that his businesses have some components to them that are not entirely on the up-and-up. Things that are perhaps legal in the most narrow definition but are still .... shady. Offshore money management in the Caribbean (Cayman Islands). A small privately held local steel fabricator scoring the bid on the 2nd largest project that DC has seen in 20 years. Anyone who knows how Greek constriction firms go will understand what I mean here. And, why the new hedge fund?

There are lots of Asian families in Chantilly and commercial rents are cheap. It's a reasonable business venture IMO.

The question is not if it's a reasonable venture but why is a multi-millionaire focusing his time and energy on it. Seems very small potatoes for him.

Maybe they killed the father and maid first in front of mother. Used the son as leverage to get the mother to text/get money, whatever.

I thought they were anything but small when it came to steel fabrication?

Yeah, awful if true that the son suffered such trauma. I really was hoping for something less horrific for him. And I thought he would be the one spared such a violent fate.

He may not have been viewing it as a business but more as a passion since he had a background in the martial arts. I've seen that before.

I just don't understand a few things. I am hung up on using the mom to get money. Even if they did this and aren't releasing that information they would have withdrawn, what, 50k max? how much do rich rich people have in their checking at any given time? the jewelry/art in that house must have been worth millions? why not just plunder the woman's jewelry? take some small but important art? I also agree with the post who remarked that there must be some shady dealings. If the ironworks business was legit wouldn't it take 100% of his time and effort to run that? I can't imagine being the CEO of a maybe billion dollar company and having time to live abroad for a year, run a hedge fund, be a lawyer and start a martial arts studio on the side. why the hedge fund? the living in the USVI? the martial arts studio? the elite lawyers group? to me this is just so bizarre, but maybe that is what rich business people do... I certainly am not one so I would not know. Thank god they sent their girls to boarding school for high school... potentially saved their lives.

I agree. I'm sure this had nothing to do with the intruders making a run to the bank. It may have had nothing to do with getting cash at all. It had to have been related to the father's business--a revenge killing or something of the like.

I'm sure his steal business made a decent chunk of change but isn't it a rather small, local company? And they seemed to be worth zillions. I'm sure something fishy was going on.

Is it just me, or do others think its wrong to post the girls' pictures and say which school they are at given that the killer(s) are still on the loose?
