IL - Roberto Rolon, Zoraida Bartolomei and their two children, murdered, Romeoville, 17 Sept 2023

[katydid23]

So, given that timeline, Palomo would have known her fiancé was a mass murder suspect when they left her home. Maybe he forced her, IDK. But they were in the department store together. Did he have a gun on her secretly?

Maybe he threatened her family and she was scared? IDK.

"Romeoville police said Thursday they have no updates on the investigation but are confident they know the motive as they said there's a clear connection to the family." New details emerge about Romeoville murder suspect fiancée who also named person of interest

Her children say she appeared frightened and they think she left with him to protect her family. Reportedly, some of her kids lived at home with them. NH certainly didn't value the lives of children or their pets. The dude was a brute, a monster. JMO

I stumbled across this forum while searching to see whether something I discovered had already been posted elsewhere. (If it has, I haven't found it).

The top photo is of the Bartolomei-Ronan family. It's the picture of the family that's been frequently used by online news outlets in articles about the murders.

The bottom photo I found on Ermalynda Palomo's Facebook page. Ermalynda is in the back, holding the little boy with his eyes closed.

Do you see any of the individuals in the top photo in the bottom photo too?

Do we know EP's profession? Was she perhaps a babysitter for the family and that's the nexus?

Lord.

I believe EP had an office job. And she had 4 or 5 grandchildren. Some of them lived with her.

Finally, this is the first time I've located MSM confirmation of a police bulletin on Tuesday citing NH was aware police were investigating him for the murders, and that he stopped going to work to follow police.

Plainfield attorney says woman had ‘nothing to do’ with Romeoville murders

Emalinda Palomo was 'a victim too,' Plainfield attorney John Paul Ivec saysthorities do not offer more details on couple killed in Oklahoma crash.

Family members said Palomo was home in Streamwood when the Romeoville murders occurred, Ivec said.

Romeoville police only identified Huey as a suspect in a bulletin that was issued Tuesday.

“He is aware that police are investigating him for this offense and his behavior has become irrational and erratic,” the Romeoville police bulletin said. “Nathaniel stopped going to work, has driven recklessly to follow police involved in the investigation, and his whereabout are now unknown.”

The same bulletin listed Huey’s vehicle as a GMC Envoy and its license plate number, providing information that apparently led to the police pursuit in Oklahoma.

He stopped going to work, presumably on Monday and Tuesday. I wonder where he worked and if that was the connection to the murdered family.

OK, so if Paloma was home asleep while Huey killed the family, then what? He drove to her home and convinced her, lured her or forced her to get in the car with him ?

What did she think was going on when she was in the store with him?

I have wondered the same thing, although it does sound like EP was a victim and not involved in the murders. She and Huey lived together so when did she know what he had done if she was at home sleeping on Saturday night when the killings took place? I think she was initially listed as a person of interest because Huey was likely driving her car when he killed the family. It was probably registered to her and LE had the car on video.

Although I think that EP was a victim, I am keeping an open mind until LE completes the investigation and she is cleared. As you say, we don't know what happened when Huey returned home on Saturday night or Sunday morning, we don't know what she knew, and what happened during the two and a half days that they lived together after the murders and before they left for the trip that ended up in Oklahoma.

I, too, wondered about the department store visit in Oklahoma. What did she know? Did she attempt to contact LE during the three days following the murders?

In an MSM article early on, it was stated that the parents who were murdered had arranged their work schedules so that one of the parents would always be home to take care of the two children. So it sounds like they worked opposite times/shifts and did not use a babysitter.

I'm thinking he was trying to go to Mexico.

She may have had some connection to the Rio Grande Border area.

EP is reported to be a mother of 5 children and several grandchildren (I think these are her children and grandchildren).

EP recently updated her FB cover photo with a large group photo and I think you will see some of the same family in the cover photo. I don't think the victim is in EP's photos here. JMO

I can't tell! I've only seen two pictures of Zoraida and her hair seems to change.

I did not see any "likes" by any of the victims (or at least anyone with the victim's names) on her FB page.
However, that doesn't mean anything. But I did look to see if there was a connection to the victims on her FB page and I didn't see anything. I'm really not good with faces.

Keeping Alberto and Zoraida's families in mind as they mourn the loss of these two parents and their precious children. Parents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, cousins, school friends of the children, and so many more.

Such a tragedy and loss to the families and community, a hardworking couple who had just bought their first home. And two boys who had just started at a new school but had already made many friends and stood out among their classmates in their own special ways.

Woman dubbed ‘person of interest’ in killing of Romeoville family ‘is a victim too,’ family lawyer says

Ermalinda Palomo, who died after a car crash, was nowhere near the Chicago suburb when the family of four was killed, a lawyer for Palomo’s family said.

chicago.suntimes.com

9/22/23

She has been identified by police as “a person of interest” in the Romeoville mass slaying, but a lawyer said Friday that the Streamwood woman killed alongside the chief suspect — her fiancé — in Oklahoma is herself a victim.

A friend described Ermalinda Palomo as “a loving mother, sister and daughter” and the “most loving grandmother her grandchildren can have.”

And she was nowhere near Romeoville when the family of four was killed in the far southwestern suburb last weekend, a lawyer for Palomo’s family said.

“She is a victim, too,” said attorney John Paul Ivec.

Of course, her family already has an attorney. No doubt, to pin the blame on LEO that this "wonderful grandmother" should have been protected from her death at the hands of Huey. It is all the fault of LEO.

Why else would her family have obtained an attorney?

To address the media and LE pressures.

That is a very good question.

Illinois law bans "private transactions" of fire arms. Rather, all weapons transfers require full back ground checks. In cases where neither the buyer, nor seller are licensed vendors, the back ground check is done by local police.

The suspect's criminal record would appear to trigger the federal prohibition on individuals convicted of certain offenses. Thus, going out of state to a licensed vendor is not an option.

That could leave: A. Illegal steet buys in Illinois. B. Private transactions in states that dont require back ground checks for them.

Even those two viable options would seem to be limiting. The suspect is holding an AR-15 type in the photo and is stated to have an "arsenal".

But.... How easy is it to acquire numerous weapons, including an AR15 via illegal street buys in Illinois? Likewise, traveling out of state for private transactions w/o back ground checks would be time consuming and would also involve finding willing vendors.

my brother is a RSO, has schizophrenia, and a history of arrests/hospitalizations/drug & alcohol abuse. he still had guns up until this last time he was put in jail for SA. gun shows are prevalent in america and nobody cares at ALL who you are / what you've done, they care if you got the money to buy one. he worked gun shows too somehow. his dad (NOT mine thank god) blew up his own house due to cooking meth and was also doing gun shows with my brother even after the fact.

Moo..the guys got anger management issues. If she did know what went down, I would guess she would sacrifice herself, to protect her family. If she had not gone with him, le would not be there to protect her loved ones. She would go with him to be the pacifier.....moo

Actually,<modsnip: not victim friendly> if they can pin liability on LEO for not protecting LP from the perpetrator.
