This does say he was not known to her.

I am definitely not well versed in these details so maybe I’m missing something but my theory is BB stabbed her, lured Joe over and manipulated AP into thinking he was an intruder which resulted in her shooting him… 23 is so, so young and someone who is an au pair is not typically a criminal mastermind but definitely easily manipulated for love. I wonder how much of this she was even aware  of outside of thinking she loves him, this was all an unfortunate accident and they are protecting each other. Now they want her to turn on him.[/quote]

You can watch the actual LE press conference, linked in thread.

She told her mom

[quote]Souza also claimed that Magalhaes had told her that the case had been closed around three months ago—and that Christine Banfield and Ryan had previously been in a relationship. [/quote]

First of all, obviously not closed, since she is now locked up, and the second part is a bit more complicated, perhaps.

This girl is likely not the innocent waif you would like to think. She and Brendan both lied about him being the shooter of Joe and there being a home invasion, which LE said was false as early as the day of the killings. She has lied about a lot of things. She may have thought Brendan would marry her. The timeline that morning was so tight, just don't see how it wasn't premeditated. Her involvement and knowledge may come out in more detail, or she may flip, provide evidence and plea, so we may never know.

How would she have access to a gun? Wouldn't she let the LE officer right there handle Joe? Why did she not call 911 first? Why was her focus not on protecting the child and staying out of the house if her concern had a basis?
