[JerseyGirl]

Two men — Lance Silva, 39, and Robert MacCaffrey, 52 — were arrested in connection with Egg’s disappearance and possible death. But the district attorney has not filed charges pending further investigation, and the two suspects are no longer in the city’s custody.

While both Silva and McCaffrey had been identified in connection with the case, prosecutors had ordered them released until more is known about Egg's whereabouts.

McCaffrey was allowed to go free, but Silva was placed in detention in Alameda for a possible probation violation.

Police say the investigation continues and both Silva and McCaffrey remain persons of interest in the case. Investigators will have to meet with the SF District Attorney to figure out the next step.

'It appears they've gotten away with murder': San Francisco murder case remains unsolved one year later

 

[imstilla.grandma]

There’s a tragic but poignant detail in ABC 7’s update report on the one-year anniversary of the discovery of Brian Egg’s body after his grisly murder: neighbor Scott Free has taken up the habit of regularly tending to the plants, trees, and sidewalks of Clara Street, just as Egg used to do. So there’s your one uplifting detail in an otherwise deeply horrible story of a good Samaritan who occasionally took in homeless people, but was found decapitated with his hands cut off and his remains shoved into a fishtank — one year ago this Saturday, August 17. The case remains unsolved, despite the appearance of two pretty obvious-seeming suspects.
One Year Later, Brutal SoMa Dismemberment Murder Still Unsolved

Brian Egg’s head and hands are still missing.

And a year after the dismembered body of the San Francisco man was found stuffed into a chemical-filled fish tank in his home, his killer remains at large.

On the anniversary of the discovery of one of the city’s grisliest unsolved murders, neighbors of the former bartender are calling on police to explain why authorities freed the only known suspects in the case, who were arrested for allegedly using Egg’s credit cards to hire a crime scene cleanup service to sanitize the murder scene.

Police say they are still trying to build enough evidence to bring charges in the case.

I really feel like this is more than likely a case of the district Attorney wanting no parts of this. I am pretty sure any S.A would be able to draft a good case against these two men. Time to stop blaming the investigators.

“It’s hard to forget a murder mystery,” Patterson says in the trailer for Unsolved with James Patterson, which premiered in March. “Especially one that's unresolved.”

The third episode of Unsolved, which is streaming on Fox Nation, examines the brutal murder of Brian Egg, whose headless corpse was found inside a fish tank in his San Francisco home in 2018.

One of the men, Robert McCaffrey, who was inside the residence, was arrested. The other, Lance Silva, was arrested hours later at a nearby hotel. A cleaning crew had been hired to clean the place.

In an affidavit previously obtained by PEOPLE, Egg’s credit card has been used to buy a BMW. A car salesman identified Silva as the person who purchased the vehicle, according to the affidavit.

Silva allegedly used the stolen credit card to pay the cleaning company, police said at the time.

Episode 3 of Unsolved, “The Fish Tank,” aims to shine more light on the case.

“In this episode, viewers will hear from Egg’s closest neighbor and friends from the area along with an investigative reporter who describes all the bizarre twists and turns in the hunt for Brian’s still unnamed killer,” says a Fox Nation press release.

Why weren't they worried about the cleaning crew seeing the torso in the fishtank? How sad that still no arrests in this case.
