NORTHERN VIRGINIA MAN CONVICTED OF MURDERING GIRLFRIEND AFTER TAKING SHROOMS TOGETHER DURING CAMPING TRIP

A man from Vienna, Virginia was found guilty on Monday of killing his girlfriend during a camping trip at Burke Lake Park in 2023.

The Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office reported that 36-year-old Rami El-Sayed was convicted of first-degree murder and of hiding a co**se.

Prosecutors said El-Sayed fatally stabbed his girlfriend, Cara Abbruscato, 17 times after the two had taken hallucinogenic mushrooms on September 24th, 2023.

After the attack, El-Sayed allegedly tried to hide Abbruscato’s body inside their tent before leaving both the campsite and, eventually, Virginia. Other campers discovered her remains six days later.

Investigators said El-Sayed drove Abbruscato’s vehicle to his hometown of Patterson, New Jersey, where he was taken into custody on October 2nd, 2023. He was extradited to Virginia the following month.

Sentencing is set for March 20th. El-Sayed could receive a life sentence for the murder charge and up to five additional years for concealing Abbruscato’s body.

The DC Police Union is questioning the timing of DC Police Chief Pamela Smith’s resignation, which was announced earlier today.

“The Union questions the timing of this announcement, which comes amid active investigations by the House Oversight Committee and the Department of Justice into allegations of manipulation of crime statistics and mismanagement within the MPD.

These inquiries demand transparency and accountability, and we urge full cooperation to ensure the integrity of our department is upheld.

The Union calls for a comprehensive and deliberate search for the next permanent Chief of Police, in close collaboration with Mayor Bowser and her team,” the press release reads.

Chief Smith became the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department back in 2023 and was able to establish the Real-Time Crime Center, a major technological improvement assisting officers on patrol in real-time.

“I as the chief of police never, would ever say to anyone to alter stats,” Smith said today.

Earlier this year, Chief Smith faced pressure from President Trump’s administration after a federal takeover of her police department and the deployment of federal law enforcement and the National Guard.

“There comes a time when you just know it’s time,” Smith told Axios.

Ex-DEA Chief Financial Officer’s House Raided by DEA Agents in Northern Virginia, Now Charged With Agreeing to Launder Upwards of $12 Million for Mexican Cartel 🚨

Paul Campo laundered money for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (JNGC) in Mexico, according to an indictment released today.

A former Drug Enforcement Administration official who once helped manage the agency’s financial operations has been charged in federal court with allegedly agreeing to launder large sums of money for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, according to an indictment made public Friday.

Prosecutors say the retired agent, Paul Campo, secretly moved roughly $750,000 for the cartel by converting the cash into cryptocurrency. He also allegedly signaled a willingness to process up to $12 million in total. The indictment further claims that Campo—who spent about 25 years with the DEA—financed approximately 220 kilograms of co***ne, knowing the shipment was intended for the United States.

The charges against him include conspiring to commit narco-terrorism, participating in a narcotics-distribution conspiracy, providing support to a designated terrorist group, and conspiring to launder money. Campo began his career as a DEA special agent in New York and later became the deputy chief of the agency’s Office of Financial Operations. He left the DEA in early 2016 and has since operated a private consulting firm.

The US State Department classifies the Jalisco New Generation Cartel as a foreign terrorist organization, noting that it relies on brutal tactics and corruption to support its drug-trafficking enterprise.

The indictment also names another individual, Robert Sensi, described as an associate of Campo, as a defendant.

The search warrant by the DEA occurred yesterday afternoon on the 2600 block of Gray Street in Oakton, Virginia, as reported by Fairfax County Patch reporter Michael O’Connell.
