What is astounding to me in this case is how many calls Savvas made along with text...communicating with so many people yet not one picked up on the desperate signals and red flags he was waving that he was trying so hard to send.

Imo, all of them were pleas for help he was trying to send the message of....please help........please realize that something very bad is happening to us but it fell on deft ears.
It wasn't until after they had been murdered that the parties admitted they felt something wasn't right. But in their defense I guess it is human nature to rationalize things away as being benign because no one really goes around thinking this could be happening to someone they know.
People need to rely on their gut instincts. That is why God gives us these instincts so that we can know when something is wrong.
IMO
Yes, this is so true.
If anyone wants to do a search of my posts, I posted about the Morse code SOS signal.
And you are right, trust your instincts.
I was gardening with my DH two days ago; all day long.
He stayed out to do the final cleanup and I went inside to the den to cool off and sit for a bit.
I heard his voice and got curious, wondering who he was speaking with.
Luckily, we live in a great neighborhood; and while outside we have people that stop by just to chit chat.
I got up and went to look out the window.
I presumed he was just having a friendly chat, but guess what?
He was talking with a complete stranger, someone I'd never seen.
We have been here for close to 20 years, I know "the usual's", so to speak.
He does not follow true crime and is naïve, I am a member here that makes me a lot more careful. One of the perks of this great board.
I watched out of the den window just long enough to get as detailed description as possible.
I considered calling out to DH, but I don't know if he would have heard me. The person left shortly after.
I called 911 and gave a decent description.
I kept telling dispatch that I felt kind of foolish.
Dispatch said no way, don't feel that way, we need more people to report. We want you to call.
LE came out and interviewed us and the neighbor to our left who has 2 small girls.
Our neighbor called as well. He reported that he saw this suspicious looking person in our neighborhood.
Turns out this person was asking my DH about our neighborhood, and kept most of the focus on how many small children were in our area.
He was driving an SUV with Nebraska plates.
We live in Upstate, NY.
We followed up with LE.
We were told that the situation was under investigation.
I did not press them any further. I did not want to interfere with an LE investigation.
They told us not to be surprised if we were questioned further.
I've taken up too much space already.
I've left out lots of details.
Not blaming the victims or anyone else, except for the criminals but, I wish that this family had some kind of safety signals.
The victims may not know it, but if one single life is saved; they did an immense service without even knowing so.
