"Anyone who denies this is nothing but a liar or a muzzie apologist/enabler."
... and anyone who thinks that they KNOW this based on the unsuported and conflicting statements of relatives of the victims is playing the fool.
The ONLY evidence that we know of from official sources is the video tapes of the perps using the stolen ATM card.
I think the history books will read, "It was in the 21st century that amateur detectives (some with solid police credentials), like the bloggers before them, started correcting and, indeed, directing the course of criminal investigations."
Here is the latest news. McDonald has rolled over on Sanchez in order to obtain lesser charges...........
JERSEY CITY - Records of a telephone call between the two men charged in the slaying of an Egyptian family corroborate a detailed admission by one of them, authorities said Monday.
The confession by Edward McDonald and records of his phone call to former prison buddy Hamilton Sanchez in the hours before the killings were enough for prosecutors to charge Sanchez in the Jan. 11 massacre, authorities said.
Prosecutors are still counting on evidence being processed at the FBI forensics lab in Washington to cement their case.
Hair and fiber samples taken from inside the home Hossam Armanious shared with his wife and two daughters should place the two alleged killers there, said John Conway, an FBI spokesman.
Authorities recovered a gun, which they believe was used to subdue the family, hidden in McDonald's apartment during a raid Thursday morning, DeFazio said. They also found distribution quantities of high-grade "hydro" marijuana, he said
One thing that authorities have figured out is that McDonald seriously miscalculated the bounty that awaited him inside the Armanious residence, DeFazio said.
"They thought that they were going to hit the jackpot," DeFazio said. "These guys, they had it in their head that there was going to be more cash there."
At one point, the pair piled up all the jewelry they found inside the home but decided against taking it, the prosecutor said.
McDonald told investigators that he and Sanchez stabbed the family to death during a push-in robbery after the youngest daughter recognized McDonald as her upstairs neighbor, according to authorities.

It appears that this may turn out to be a case of In flagrante delicto afterall.
Im reminded why I'm for the Death Penalty.
I just think they should bring back drawing and quartering murderers like this.
