Theories Emerging in NJ Family Murders By Eyewitness News' Kemberly Richardson (Jersey City-WABC, January 17, 2005) — A massive turnout is expected this morning at the funerals of a Jersey City family. The family was found bound, gagged and slashed to death on Friday. The police are talking about robbery and religious hatred as motives. But ABC News has learned the FBI sees a possible link to a terror trial now underway in New York. Eyewitness News reporter Kemberly Richardson is live in Jersey City with the latest. The bodies of Hossam Armanious and his wife and two young daughters will leave from Journal Square for the church at around 10:00 this morning. The coffins will arrive at the church just around 10:30 for the funeral service. Thousands are expected to attend. And many of those are very fearful because there are no arrests in this case. There are still several theories on the table as to why all this happened. There is doubt and uncertainty in this close-knit community. ABC News has learned that the slain family's cousin has been a translator working for the prosecution in the trial of Lynne Stewart. She is the radical lawyer accused of smuggling messages from imprisoned Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, to terrorist cell members and associates. The FBI is also looking at other aspects of the murder, including possible robbery. Investigators also say that the slain father was active online. He recently argued in a chat room with a Muslim, who felt he had insulted Islam. That man reportedly threatened to kill him if he didn't take back his comments. Emile Garas, victim's uncle: "That is all speculation. Nobody can say anything until the authorities do the final investigation." The murdered family belonged to the Coptic Orthodox church. They fled Egypt a decade ago to escape religious persecution. They were mourned Sunday by relatives and fellow churchgoers. Juan Jose Salazar, family friend [sobbing, inaudible, expresses grief]. The Coptic community is offering at least $100,000 to anyone with information about the crime.
