OMG! You're ridiculous!

You are right. Are they minors still?

I feel guilty being so obsessed about this. It's like its an episode of a tv show and we are all waiting for the plot to taken twist. People suffered. Right around the corner from where we live and our children go to school. I have a 9 yo son. I can't imagine the horror. I feel incredibly guilty coming to this site and checking up on the gossip. But I'm doing it.
Does any one else feel what I'm feeling??

No, because it's easy to figure out through publicly available information (e.g., FB). Plus, I doubt either is at her school at this point.

Even if they did this and aren't releasing that information they would have withdrawn, what, 50k max?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.

American Iron Works is a large company but I don't think it's as big as you are describing it to be. I could see how the martial arts studio is a personal passion. Plus, isn't Chantilly where the 2nd iron factory is located?

I'm obsessed too but it's not "gossip". People were brutally killed - a) it's horrible and tragic and I want answers for their family and b) I'm frightened and live close by and want answers myself.

I respect your feelings but mine are different. I live in the neighborhood and am really creeped out. Maybe it would be better for me if I ignored the whole thing, but trying to figure this out with you guys is helping me feel less spooked and more in control.

Would garden-variety thugs even recognize expensive art if they saw it?

[Anonymous]

I don't think they cared about the art because it would be pretty obvious that anyone trying to sell the missing pieces was somehow connected to the crime and/or the suspects.

I agree with you. Although I feel like I did after Sandy Hook when I read more about this story.

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.

The maid would not call back and question the boss anymore than she would question him to his face. He could have said something like "call "Rosa's" family and let them know she will be sleeping over to take care of ..." If everything else was correct she would not call back to question her boss. "Why did you call her Rosa? Her name is Maria." And maybe then maid no. 2 would have repeated the anomoly to maid no. 1's husband and he would have thought something was not right.

I don't necessarily think the husband had something to do with it. Or the maid. I just find this questionable. I am obviously at a disadvantage to the police who know far more by now, but I would like to think the husband did more than just go along with every request thinking it will all work out in the end. Someone as smart as him would know better.

Wow a family is murdered and your default is to petty class based envy. You can do better PP.
