52 – The Pizza Crust Murders, Part 2

If you haven't heard part one (our previous episode) please check it out.

On May 14, 2015, three members of the Savopoulos family—Savvas, Amy, and their son Philip—as well as their housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa, were killed at the Savopoulos home in Washington, D.C. The victims were held hostage for 22 hours, starting on May 13. Ten-year-old Philip was tortured in order to coerce $40,000 in cash from the family. The perpetrator(s) restrained them with duct tape before killing them, then set the house on fire. They all sustained blunt force trauma, and Philip was also stabbed.

Sam wraps up the story of the Pizza Crust Murders by telling very convoluted story of the trial and the wild testimonies that concluded the trial.
