So I've tried to look up Spanish-language Salvadoran coverage of this case. Will spend more time this week cuz had time only for a little bit tonight. None of the papers seems to have run anything on the case since about 22 May. Most of what was run was recycled from the Washington Post and...

Interesting. My Spanish is serviceable (husband is fluent and speaks it with our kids; alas, he can't help out on this because he is working this evening. Also, he finds discussing this case too distressing and prefers to wait until info emerges during trial[s].) After I get the kids fed and in...

To mark the month since this tragedy, I went over there about two hours ago to lay some flowers on the front steps leading up to their garden, where the chainlink fence bars entry to their front walk. There were three dried-up long-stemmed roses lying there from apparently a while ago, nothing...

Exactly. And the original question was worth considering because if STA tried to reach AS on Thursday morning, that might have been another point of contact. Did DDW let her speak, and if so, what did she say? IDK. Maybe it means nothing but since I'm still stuck in "magical thinking" mode...

You need to call the Lower School office by 8am to excuse your son from school that day. If you keep your son home and forget to call by 8am, the office admin assistant calls you to track down your son. AS was taking it day by day, after having hoped that Philip was ready to return earlier that...

I have no idea if Philip had his own phone, but IF he had one, it would probably stay very near his bed during his convalescence from the concussion. It would have been a way to stay in touch with his friends while he missed school, a form of entertainment (games and music) while he was stuck in...

We have the same postal carrier all the time but the UPS/FedEx folks are never the same, so we never recognize them, so they would be easy to fake. The idea is still that DDW broke in, but OTPTarheel in Comment #686 on page 28 suggested that possibly the cover as he broke in was an accomplice...

We live nearby in a home built in 1925, with a mail slot built-in about a foot off the ground next to our front door. So yes, delivering parcels that require signatures means a quick pow-wow at the door during which a bad guy could break in through another entry. However, we know our postal...

He was home. OK after reading yepitsme's most recent post, I deleted more specifics. Yepitsme, you're right. Thank you.

I used the phrase "Close parents" to mean folks who have children attending school on the Close - NCS, STA, and/or Beauvoir.

I wonder how many of us newbies to Websleuths are Close parents. We likely might recognize each other IRL - like from pickup near the Prison Yard. I came here because I'm processing grief/shock by seeking answers, and doing so amongst IRL peers on the Close feels unseemly and gossipy. Sometimes...

Thank you, I understood already that JW started with the family in March, but back in Post #29, the Pamela Brown transcript quote mentions that NG told her that she recently had started working with the family...that's why I thought it odd. Like until then, I thought only JW was new. And I...

Throughout this whole past school year, the block of Garfield from Mass down to Reno (at the Belgian Embassy), and the block of Reno from the Garfield intersection towards nearly as far as Woodley, there have been scores of construction guys in fluorescent vests slowing/stopping traffic...

Most reports describe NG as having worked for the family for 20 years. Then the Pamela Something-or-Other reporter (I'm sorry, I forget her name) just said that NG had told her that NG had met JW in March, that she had recently started working with the family, etc., etc., and I'm wondering if...

We can't doubt that he left the VM because we can hear it, although I don't have the link anymore - it was via ABC news, I'm fairly sure, but I can't dig it up right now, I'm sorry, too late here and I've got to hit the hay. NG is delusional if she thinks SS left her the VM out of fear for her...

Yes yes yes...to wit: In the VM to NG, pay attention to the pause between "If you can..." and "...TELL ANYONE who might be worried about her" -- he was assuming that NG would have heard Philip's shrieks, and he assumed she would note the contradiction that AS was NOT going out that night (as he...

I want to know more about what was going on with the family's two dogs from Wednesday afternoon onward. AS walked them herself regularly. One was an older dog, and one was a puppy (not tiny, more like a teenager age for a dog). She mentioned to a mutual friend that she had spent lots of time...

He probably took the Metro to Woodley Park/Zoo and then walked up Cleveland Avenue towards Woodland Drive, or transferred from an earlier Metro station onto a bus, such as the N2 that runs up Massachusetts Avenue. Short walk for either option. However, I wonder how DDW could have staked out the...
