Slain Coptic Family's ATM Card Used Following Murder
2005-03-01
Severely EFL
The ATM card of slain Jersey City Heights resident Hossam Armanious was used several times in the week after his death to withdraw thousands of dollars from his bank account, Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said yesterday. The withdrawals, made on several occasions from banks in the Jersey City Heights and in mid-town Manhattan, continued for up to a week after the bodies of Armanious, his wife, Amal Garas, and their daughters, Sylvia and Monica, were found inside their Oakland Avenue apartment on Jan. 14.

The discovery of the ATM withdrawals "certainly corroborates" the theory that the slayings took place during a robbery, DeFazio said. "That would be the inference based on the circumstances," he said. Many ATMs are equipped with video cameras, but DeFazio declined to say whether investigators had obtained photos or video of the person, or people, who used Armanious' card. He also would not say when investigators first discovered the ATM card had been used.

#9  SPOD, right on. Look how the MSM covered for their allies after that Russian school invasion. They simply refused to admit that it was done by Islamic terrorists (and not simple 'hostage-takers') and never mention the bayonetted babies or gang-raped schoolgirls.

#8  Count on this to remain buried. The MSM has every interest in keep what ever the facts of this case are hidden away. The Democratic controled state of New Jersey will go to any lenght to hide any information that this may have been an act carried out by followers of allan.

#7  Frank- I would dearly love to have my first mission as a newly commissioned occifer (looking at 2006) to be to go and clean out some of the suburbs of NJ. But there are times we must simply sincerely hope that people like the FBI (who should be the CONUS agency concerned) are doing good things quietly.

#5  If they have pictures then they have suspects. If there are suspects then they can be interrogated for their connections to terror. Once we establish the connections to terror and possibly burn a cell or two (maybe co-opt) then we hang them out to dry.

#3  I wouln't discount religious motives (especially considering how they were executed).

And whos to say the creatures who did it didn't take their cards as well.

#1  So....does the bank have any pictures? After all, most if not all ATMs have little cameras aimed at their users.
