According to a police source and Gutierrez, the employee says Savopoulos was going to use the cash at an auction for the martial arts center he planned to open the next day in Chantilly, Virginia.
If that was the plan, then it was known ahead of Thursday morning.
We can argue about this until cows come home. NG also claimed she knew nothing about the money being dropped of in published msm reports. If you want to believe the story she told one newspaper but not the other, so be it.
I'm not arguing, I am expressing MY opinion based on the fact sources within LE are also talking to the media and saying the same thing as NG.

playing devil's advocate and thinking like defense counsel for one second... his DNA on pizza crust merely proves he ate that piece of pizza, not that he did anything more AT THIS POINT. They will have a lot more evidence soon IMO.

I agree-if all the people Mr. Savopoulos talked to, while he was being held hostage & trying to drop hints, didn't pick up on his distress, we shouldn't blame the dogs. That's the only small shred of decency I can see in this situation, is that they weren't harmed as their family was.

IMO that is the story that Savopoulos told. He wasn't about to say he needed ransom monies.
bbmFelony murder is charged when there are multiple suspects and police can't prove who did what. Here we only have one suspect (at least so far). I fail to see why felony murder would come into any consideration.
He wasn't an invited guest and the fact that his DNA is anywhere in the house and on an item known to not be in the house prior to the crime, squarely places him in the capital murder seat. He will be considered equally culpable whether he personally wielded a weapon or not.
Right now I'm not sure he'll be taken alive, though I know LE wants to get him alive.
It's clear to me that when SS called the bank on Thursday morning, and his assistant, he obviously didn't tell them he needed money for ransom. He used a cover story. So the cover story was he needed money for an auction.
Just FYI, Robin Ficker is known around the DC area as a big ... let me just "whack job." He has made a name for himself as being "heckler in chief" for the Washington Wizards. He has seats behind the visiting team's bench and literally just yells offensive things to them throughout the Wizard's games. He has also run for various political offices, but he's such a joke, no one in their right mind would vote for him.
