Ravenousness and jealousy drove Megan to kill her mother and sister, Descano said in a statement in March. “Proof submitted at trial revealed Megan Hargan was angry because she thought her mother favored her sister, Helen, and because Pamela didn’t make a $400,000 wire transfer to purchase a permanent place to stay for Megan,” he said.

Helen’s sweetheart, Carlos Gutierrez, affirmed that on the day of the slayings, Helen said Megan was “on the PC transferring money,” NBC4 Washington reports.

He was on the phone with Helen, begging her to escape the house. “She let me know her sister had killed her mother,” Gutierrez told the court, NBC Washington announced.

He affirmed that she would have rather not left or called 911 because she feared for her niece, Megan’s 8-year-old daughter, who was somewhere in the house.

“She was saying she didn’t have the foggiest idea what to do,” he affirmed. She said the young lady “was in the house as well and she didn’t have the foggiest idea how to get her out.”

He said he could hear Helen sobbing. Sooner or later, Gutierrez lost contact with Helen and took a stab at calling her back.

Be that as it may, she never answered. Megan’s protection attorney and the district attorney didn’t immediately respond to Individuals’ solicitations for input.
