This will be a most interesting trial. If these guys are really the scum who did it, then I'll have been wrong big-time, along with a lot of other people. If the bodies were really lying there three days before they were found though, it's possible that these dirtbags got in there after they were killed by someone else, and decided to take advantage and steal their ATM card and not report the murders to the police.

Admittedly, having the ATM card certainly looks bad for them though. It'll be interesting to see if there's any kind of real forensic evidence linking them to the murders.

Where does the report say that "one of them" was using the card??

I'd also like to know the source of this quote:
"DeFazio said that during the robbery Monica Armanious had managed to loosen the bonds with which she was bound and gagged and recognized McDonald as the upstairs tenant. McDonald killed her out of fear of being identified and Sanchez killed the other three people..."
Was one of the suspects keeping a diary?

It is completely possible that the druggies came upon the murder scene and plundered the victims. This would explain the use of the ATM card.

The druggies could even have been told to go to the house to see something "interesting". This would give the cops a false trail.
