My guess based on SM speculation is he is gonna say it was a suicide pact. I don't believe this is true but a guess as to what he might say to save his *advertiser censored*. MOO
Florida has the DP, no?

Thanks @zea mays. I don’t want to sleuth family, wasn’t sure if I had missed an article.It was two of Tony's sisters for sure (there was at least one more woman, but I'm not sure of her relation to Tony). They were always very vague when people asked about Megan or Megan's family. Lots of speculation, but that would be sleuthing family, so I won't post it.
Christmas would have been a huge red flag.
Was it Tony’s sister doing the FB alert?
Anything from Megan’s family?
I've been thinking about this a lot. If this were my sister....and I didn't get pictures of my niece on Christmas, and my BIL was telling me they were asleep. And I never heard back from my sister on Xmas or at the very least by the next day I would be worried. And if I called for a Well check on 12/29 and found out the police couldn't make contact? My butt would be on a plane down there SO fast. I would break into her house if I had to.It certainly did cement the fact that the sisters behavior was odd. WHY wouldn't they have wanted neighbors to go and knock? It reinforces my thoughts that he told them what he did at some point and was threatening self-harm.
I took what the sheriff said as this: Tony said he killed them "at the end of December" and the condition of the bodies was consistent with that. I don't think there's a huge difference between 12/24 & 12/29 when we are talking about bodies that have been out for 3+ weeks. I'm not an expert, but I think it would still be "consistent" with the "end of December."I definitely think they were gone on 12/29. I'm on the fence about before Christmas now (that was my initial guess, too) just because the sheriff said the condition of the bodies was consistent with the end of Dec. I think it's really odd that there was a week to week and a half that no one heard from anyone other than Tony if they weren't already dead. The piano teacher did state she got a response from Megan about lessons the first week of 2020, but since that's completely isolated, I think it's very likely that was Tony.
I think it was one of the sisters that called, but I do not understand their actions after that. Completely mystified.
The page was being run by all 3 of Tony's sisters. Chrissy is his biological sister (Robert & Loretta are Tony & Chrissy's parents). Alicia is their half-sister (daughter of Loretta and her new husband). Kellie is their step-sister (daughter of Loretta's new husband).Christmas would have been a huge red flag.

Snipped by me. By before Christmas, I was thinking like 12/21 since the last confirmed contact with Megan was 12/20. Which is a bit further out. I would not be surprised to find the dates change at all.I took what the sheriff said as this: Tony said he killed them "at the end of December" and the condition of the bodies was consistent with that.

This. I also think that he killed them around the time of the eviction which iirc was 12/22. I truly think they were gone before Christmas. So, I'd put it at 12/23-24.Hi NuttMegg! I know you are a veteran of the Watts case, as am I. I bet your are 100% correct that the murders occurred right about the time his wife and possibly kids found out they were being evicted. My guess is he kept secrets from his wife. There was discussion in the Watts forum about the family annihilators who do not kill themselves. Often that kind of family annihilator had a secret life.
From what the sheriff stated in the presser, AT apparently took some pills right before he was arrested. It appears he knew LE was on their way, so he must have told the cops he took the pills, and that might explain why he was taken to the hospital. He apparently really didn't want to die himself and he possibly spent weeks in that house, with the dead bodies of his wife and his children, and the family dog.
Unbelievable.
I wonder if he has a lawyer. Hope not.

My understanding is that this family traveled pretty regularly to Sarasota & Siesta Key. They could have easily gone on a week vacation and been home before Christmas.I think so, too. What's kind of curious is one of the neighbors reported seeing the family, with their car all packed up around December 15. The neighbor assumed they were going away for the holidays.
