NY - Family of four found dead in basement of their Irondequoit home, 31 Aug 2024

Where did you see torture mentioned and the Dad not being with the other 3? I thought during the PC the chief said they were all found in the basement.

It was in a post that said "it sounded like .. " because of the description of the scene. ( not fact exactly , just someone's impression) from the way the scene was described.)
About the dad being in a different spot< I agree with the 2 posts above. Id have to listen again, to remember what gave me the impression he was not with them, but as they have said above in @realanastasia and @Snoopster posts could mean he was 2 feet away. ? (I think when they said the Mom was downstairs and couldnt say where dad was, made me jump the gun a little)

The FB posts saying he was Muslim were from 2011, when he was a teenager. That page doesn't seem like it's been used at all since then. His current FB doesn't mention anything about his religion in general. I wouldn't put too much weight on a facebook post from when he was a teen over a decade ago.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. In that case I'd say a hate crime attributable to religious faith is rather unlikely (imo)

It's so awful. During the questions at the PC, one of the reporters asked what school the kids went to. The Chief was visibly upset when responding with the fact that they weren't even old enough to go to school.

They might have been in Head Start, or some other preschool program.

This is just my honest opinion....I agree,I just took the time and translated some of his FB post and it seems like he was having trouble with maybe some neighbors or someone close to them. I do wonder if maybe this was a hate crime considering he had made it public on his profile that he is a Muslim.

I saw that too. The Dominican Republic, where he was from, is mostly Catholic, and in some circles, that might not go over well.

It could be as simple as finding mom's body lying in a position that protects the children. The family could have been herded down to the basement and Dad told to stand away from them, then they killed Dad and desperate Mom gathers her kids even tighter and they killed them as a group.

This is exactly what I am thinking. I do believe that law enforcement is keeping MANY facts about this case under wraps, regarding things only the perp(s) would know.
