A mysterious voicemail sent to a housekeeper by a Washington, D.C. businessman may hold a clue into who murdered him, his wife, their 10-year-old son, and another family housekeeper.
Savvas Savopoulos, 46; his son, Philip, and housekeeper Veralicia “Vera” Figueroa, 57, were found dead inside the Savopoulos’s $4 million mansion on Thursday. His wife Amy Savopoulos, 47, was reportedly found unconscious and bleeding from a head wound outside the home. She was transported to nearby Georgetown University Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. Her body reportedly reeked of gasoline.
The family mansion on affluent embassy row in Northwest D.C. was set ablaze sometime after 1 p.m. Thursday. Police say there was no forced entry into the mansion that is located near the D.C. homes of VP Joe Biden and Bill Clinton.
A 2nd housemaid, Nelly, who worked for the family for 20 years, told police she received a text message from Mrs. Savopoulos on Thursday telling her not to come to work.
Nelly told investigators that on Wednesday she missed a phone call from Mr. Savopoulos, who left a voicemail telling her not to come to work because his wife Amy was sick. Savvas also reportedly told Nelly that Figueroa’s cell phone had died, and she should tell that to anyone who might ask about Figueroa.
Police theorize the family was being held hostage from Wednesday evening into Thursday morning, and that they were murdered after the killers got what they wanted from Savvos on Thursday.
The family’s blue 2008 Porsche 911 was discovered abandoned and torched in a church parking lot in Prince George’s County, about 6 miles from the ironworks business where Savvas Savopoulos was president.
Investigators used bloodhounds to track the scent of the suspect from the car.
On Monday, police released video surveillance showing a man or woman running from the area where the Porsche was abandoned. The person of interest wore wearing a dark hoodie and appearing to be carrying a white package or a white garbage bag.
In a new development today, police say the mansion was wired with a very complex security system that was never turned off even when the family was home.
Someone turned off the security system, leading investigators to believe the murders and arson were an inside job, or that the perpetrators were known to the family.
Neighbors who have been inside the home told NBC News Washington affiliate that valuable artwork was on display inside the home.
Suspicion is falling upon the family’s longtime maid, Nelly, who owns her own cleaning company and hired her best friend, Figueroa, to work with her at the Savopoulos family’s home.
Mr. and Mrs. Savopoulos may have been forced to send messages to Nelly telling her not to come to work — an indication that the killer(s) cared about the maid’s welfare.
Nelly told police she received a text message from Amy Savopoulos’s cell phone on Thursday at 9:56 a.m., that read: “I am making sure you do not come today. If you could come [Friday] or Monday that would be great.”
Nelly said she returned the text message, saying she had no plans to go to the house on Thursday. The fire was set later that afternoon and the bodies were discovered around 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
According to unconfirmed reports, the husband of the deceased housemaid, Vera Figueroa, went to the mansion Thursday morning, after his wife failed to return home the prior evening. He reportedly knocked at the front door and got no answer. He then proceeded around the house to the back door where he knocked again.
A few moments later, he said he received a phone call on his cell phone from Mr. Savopoulos inside the home.
ABC News’ Washington affiliate WJLA is also reporting that a man told police he saw something bizarre outside the home a few hours before the fire, that made him literally stop his car. But he wouldn’t elaborate on what he saw.
The Savopoulos’s have two teenage daughters (pictured above) who were away at boarding schools at the time of the murders. The girls are under police protection at an undisclosed location.
Damn. This reads like a movie script.
Real life is stranger than fiction. Sad
Dizzle it was! I wanted to go so bad
Even made a playlist for my friend and we were

This is so messed up but you now my first thought was the daughters did it – white folks stay killing their family for inheritance but this probably is not the case in this instance – daddy may have gotten into business with some shady characters…. very sad….
@Fancy – It’s been a minute. Keep missing you.
I dont think that lady had anything..
I will just say she must be very very very stupid if she had something to do with this.
Is that artwork? missing? WHat can she gain? She worked there 20yrs folk..

I went to see my brother in jail and he got a burger out of the visiting room vending machine and used a packet of mayo that looked like it had been sitting in that basket since the jail was built. I couldn’t wait to get the letter telling about how his *ss exploded later that night. LOL Took him 7 pages to describe it.
delicious 5 guys burger and bag full of fries turned into some angry angus and attacked me… I’m talking mad cow! ? I was naked and afraid ? …sweating :biting: …praying ?
***********
After 20 years there is no reason for her to off them in such a dramatic fashion… I think they were forced to make calls by the person holding them so nobody would come to the home during the incident and once the intruders got what they needed (or perhaps they never got it) they killed everybody and burned the house to hide evidence…. just doesn’t seem like the maid – could be someone they let in their home to do work but I just don’t see someone who worked for a family that long turning on them…. Plus if the maid did it wouldn’t she have done it when the girls were home she could off them all… just saying….
Or it could be random – there was a horrific crime like this in CT a family was raped beaten and killed and the house torched all while cops sat outside waiting to figure out how to proceed… (I think the husband survived)very sad….. just some drug addict azzholes doing a break in that went horribly wrong… this could be the same type of thing… crack heads gone wild…. they did have video of that one guy running away with what looked like a propane tank….

I don’t know if anyone remembers a few years ago in Pensacola where a husband and wife was killed. Now that was a movie script. They adopted special needs kids. Folks thought they had money in a safe. They didn’t. About 5-9 people went to jail.

I remember this story
unbelievably horrific!

really though, all we can do is speculate ’cause we know these things can go either way
there was a retired couple found dead on mothers day in their home by the daughter. they lived in an ‘affluent’ area, so it seemed ‘random’ at first… now they found that the neighbor did it! and the fool left and went on a cruise to Alaska the same day. come to find out he had broken into their home 17 yrs earlier when he was just a teen. now he’s 31 y/o and STILL living with and vacationing with his parents? but they didn’t see any signs?
To kill that baby though.
@ShakenBake nothing wrong with turkey burgers. Nan just shocked the sh.it (literally) out of her body when she switched from Turkey to beef. Her body was like “No, no, I wasnt ready” (k. Hart voice )

Say that. We was talkin about MOTHERS last night. Tryna to get fella to understand a woman/female parts =/= equal mothering/maternal. Funny enough, he already realized that when it comes to males. :eyeroll:

they figure this out and find the perpetrators. Whoever is responsible is/are some truly soulless individuals.
I’ve made turkey meatballs. Yum. I use ground turkey for everything except for new recipes. Then I just use what’s recommended.

@Suga,
My mom uses it for meat loaf and she says it’s pretty good. She seasons it the same and everything. Now mind you , I’m not a fan of meat loaf, seaux perhaps it’s relative. Do you do anything different with yours?

I heard about this yesterday.
Sounds like a Lifetime movie.
I found it odd that they would call the housekeeper with that “warning”, but then again, stranger things have happened. I wonder if they tried to use that as a flag for her to get them help
Then again, he’s a rich business man, may have gotten involved with the wrong folks, or maybe even a murder/suicide. Did they say how the victims died yet?
Summer u lucky he aint put dyck in it. U know that man want u bad
Sorry, not murder/suicide. I meant murder for hire

I don’t like substitute meats – the thought of ground turkey or chicken makes me hurl… folks always telling me its good but I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that its not beef… same with eggplant and veggie burgers I don’t care how good they supposed to taste i’m not eating a vegetable that taste like a meat… I just caaaiiinnnnt…..
off topic – anyone catch that Iverson documentary – I think on Showtime – pretty interesting I have a whole new level of respect for this bro… unlike watching Kobe’s Muse which was yawn worthy and a self promoting waste of my time….

It appears that the maid may have had something to do with the murders.
How in the heck do you kill a family with the secret service down the street 24/7 at Biden’s house? Somebody know something.
Quite easy to do. I think the assistant was in on it One person could hv easily done this the son was what they used to control the adults you would do anything to save your child Plus the child was in his bed and the fire as started under his bed I thought all 3 adults were in one room didn’t know 1 was outside. They said a knife or sword was used and baseball bat not using a gun took care of alerting anyone from hearing gunfire even though they could hv used a pillow but they didn’t want quick they wanted to torture I still think this was not the original plan I think the father was involved and didn’t fulfill his part in something they got mad started in with the son wife and maid or they were going to kill the father anyway no wealthy man would give his assistant access to that amount of money or permission to access his accounts sorry for being so long winded but i hv been following this case from day 1 and had red flags everywhere And the maid I don’t think had anything to do with it I think they warned her not to come but I think the killer wrote the text using one of his victims phone or he told them mk sure she does not show and hoped the message they said would in some way mk the maid suspicious because they mentioned someone was driving one of them to the hospital and that person didn’t know how to drive I still don’t get how the husband just knocked on the door and left it at that
