Suspect Said He Planned to Rob Couple, Court ToldMan Charged in NW Slayings Stated He Torched Car, According to Documents

The man accused of killing a Northwest Washington couple last weekend has told investigators that he went to their home to rob them, tied one of the victims with a telephone cord and stole computer equipment from their house, according to a criminal complaint filed yesterday in D.C. Superior Court.


Peiro Fuentes Hernandez, 21, also told investigators that he was armed with a metal baton-type weapon during the incident and that he stole the victims' car. He said he bought a can of gasoline and used it to set the car afire in an attempt to destroy evidence, according to the complaint.


Hernandez, who was said in court to be a refugee [ How bout Illegal Alien??] from El Salvador after Hurricane Mitch in 1998, also told police that he was a member of the MC Gang, known as Master Criminals, an affiliate of STC, or Street Thug Criminals, the document said.
Hernandez, of the 1000 block of Cypress Tree Place in Capitol Heights, was held without bail after his court appearance yesterday in the deaths of
Michael Spevak, 68, a psychiatrist, and his wife, Virginia, 67, a former teacher. The couple were found dead Saturday night in their home in the 5300 block of Belt Road NW.

The charging papers make no mention of accomplices, and police officials have declined to say whether they believe others joined in the crime. The papers do not say whether Hernandez knew the couple or how he came to allegedly target their house. Officials have said that the residence was not selected at random but have given no explanation for that statement.


Despite defense objections, Magistrate Judge Milton C. Lee Jr. ordered that blood, hair and saliva samples be taken for DNA testing. He set a follow-up hearing for Jan. 9.


Hernandez, a diminutive but stocky man with dark hair, a thin mustache and chin beard, said little as he stood in court yesterday wearing a white prison jumpsuit, gray booties and leg shackles. When asked his name, he replied, "Peiro Fuentes."
The criminal complaint painted a grisly scene.


The body of
Virginia Spevak was found in a sitting position on a couch in a walkway between the home's kitchen and family room. She had been tied with a telephone cord, the document said. Her husband's body was found on the floor in the family room. On a couch near his body, detectives found a knotted telephone cord that appeared to have been used to tie him. Both victims were wearing night clothes.
The complaint said there was a large amount of blood at the scene with what appeared to be tennis shoe imprints.


Both victims had died from sharp blunt force trauma to the head and neck inflicted by a bladed weapon, according to the charging documents.


Detectives found that in addition to the couple's blue 2005
Toyota Scion, their three computers, two cellphones and a personal digital device were missing.

Investigators said friends and family had last heard from the Spevaks about 10:30 p.m. Nov. 20 and became alarmed when they did not respond to e-mails the next day.
On Sunday, police found the car burning in the 500 block of Ingraham Street NW and spotted Hernandez walking to a house in the 600 block of the same street. When detectives asked him whether he knew about the fire, he replied: "Nah. I was at home drunk."


Later, in the back yard of the home Hernandez had approached, investigators found identification cards and credit cards with the names of Michael Spevak's parents.
Hernandez was taken in for questioning Tuesday, and his Capitol Heights home was searched the same day, the complaint said.


The document spells out the results of the police search: In Hernandez's basement bedroom, police found a photograph of Virginia Spevak under the mattress. In his closet, they found Michael Spevak's driver's license and credit cards. In the bedroom, they also found a key to the Spevaks' front door. Beside the bed, they found bloodstained Chuck Taylor tennis shoes. And in a utility tub in the basement, they found a sharp, curved blade with a wooden handle.


Hernandez initially denied involvement in the slayings but then said he was at the house and gave a version of what happened, the document said.


Yesterday, through his lawyer, Arthur Ago, he pleaded not guilty.


Arguing that Hernandez should not be kept jailed, Ago said the defendant had come from El Salvador "to seek protection here" and had many family members in the area. He also said Hernandez had no known criminal record.


But Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Sines said she had been told by federal immigration officials that Hernandez had fled the hurricane's destruction. The judge said Hernandez posed "a very, very significant risk of flight" and ordered him held.
Meanwhile, the Spevaks were being fondly remembered yesterday on a memorial Web site set up by their family.


One person wrote of "the force that was 'Ginny and Mike.' "
Another wrote: "How very sad it is that the world has lost [them] and how unfair . . . that they suffered that awful ending."


A memorial service is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church on Chevy Chase Circle, where Virginia was a member for 34 years.

A Saturday with Sheriff Chuck Jenkins


From The Tentacle - November 24, 2008


A Saturday with the Sheriff


Steven R. Berryman


On Saturday I found myself waiting outside the Church of the Brethren for Chuck Jenkins, sheriff of Frederick County. He was late, but I don’t blame the man, as he is in highest demand during these troubled and newly formative days.

He was invited to a Men’s Breakfast to speak at the church; he spoke about these challenging times, and what to do about them. I did not attend the speech.

My mission was, by prior arrangement, to whisk our sheriff away down I-270 to visit a group of activists and concerned citizens in Prince George’s County Maryland, hosted by the anti-illegal immigration group I work with, Help Save Maryland (HSM).

Chuck brought his off duty sidearm and a 15-pound briefcase full of information on the program he spearheaded to detect and deport illegal immigrants from Frederick County. I brought a tablet of notepaper and my attitude.

This trip was all about outreach and our solidarity as Marylanders.

Indeed, with a Maryland driver’s License available to anyone without proof of citizenship, we share the common negative side effects of being a magnet for criminal-illegals with PG County.

You could correctly say that Maryland is a “Sanctuary State” for illegal immigrants, in that the top-down direction from Gov. Martin O’Malley is to stall the implementation of the “REAL ID” identification program requiring proof of citizenship as adopted from the recommendations of our own 9/11 Commission.

To make matters worse, our state is now in possible violation of the Hatch Act by its financial support of the Central American Solidarity Association, known as CASA.

CASA is in full political mode and was recently involved in our voting process.

Voter registration signs had been plastered to their office buildings and day-laborer centers “en Espanol.” Mostly non-citizens, and without requirement to prove as much, a strangely high percentage are encouraged to register as a Democrat – and do so.

The above is facilitated with the aforementioned assistance of taxpayer funding.

CASA de Maryland has a website and outreach program that attracts illegals and includes graphic instructional materials to teach them how to evade detection by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. It urges non-cooperation and silence. There’s even a section on what to do with your family when a member is arrested.

Our governor has facilitated grants to CASA of over $2.7 million and another $720,000 for construction of a headquarters building in Tacoma Park. This, in an era where PG County is currently furloughing their workers by up to 80 hours each due to a runaway budget.

And this was before the effects of the national economic meltdown have been fully felt!

Pree Glenn-Graves was the group’s coordinator for that county, and we were set up in a conference room deep in the bowels of the Oxon Hill Public Library.

Coordinator Pree is highly active and a forceful speaker. She gained prominence and the national spotlight recently speaking before the National Press Club on the occasion of HSM joining forces formally with Judicial Watch and other regional anti-illegal organizations

Attendees at our awareness meeting included the young, the elderly, the black, and the white. The complexion of Prince George’s County is notably black, and its issues with illegals are even worse because of this.

Blacks compete more directly for the same jobs with illegals than do whites. Also, the peer pressure to do something about the infiltration of illegals is made more complex as they are also people of color for the most part.

Crime is, of course, the main cause of the sheriff’s interest. With jobs being lost, and desperation setting in among border- crossers already here, there will surely be a spike in crime as a result. This is happening during a period when staffs and capabilities among all law enforcement may have to be cut.

The Frederick County statistics already bear out that incarcerated illegals are mostly from El Salvador, and then from Mexico; most of the remainder are from South America.

Gangs, including the dreaded MS-13, draw 80% of their membership from El Salvador. Illegals comprise over 50% of gang membership nationwide.

In Frederick County over the last month gang activity included a screwdriver stabbing in the eye and brain of a cyclist, and a 2-pound plus cocaine bust.

An illegal was arrested for murder one and home invasion in Silver Spring. Another illegal was arrested for the bus murder of Tai Lam, an innocent bystander.

As the sheriff shared with me during a moment of candor recently, “Steve, we’ve got to do something.”

He knows that illegals must be fought in each county to be successful in Maryland. Otherwise they simply shift from one county to another, based on pressures currently being brought to bear.

In Montgomery County their own police gang task-force unit reported recently that gang-related crimes rose 20% in units to 571 events between 2006 and 2007. The trend is ominous and they are just to our south.

To avert a major conversion of Maryland into another L.A. County, or a Phoenix, the sheriff knows we must act now, and he’s spending his own time to spread the word about the effects of his cooperative program with ICE, the already much-discussed 287g program. This is causing some illegals to self deport already, and for others to go away to other states.

Over the past six months, our jails have in process 251 “detainers” on illegals, 90% of whom are eventually deported. That’s some progress!

The above happened without a single reported instance of profiling or discrimination.

Our sheriff is making a difference and is setting the standard. Currently there are over 100 other counties across the U.S. waiting in line for the 287g anti-illegal training from ICE. Not from Maryland.

With our outreach meeting accomplished, and others empowered, we headed back up north to be with our families for the rest of the day.

We call upon the sheriffs of our other Maryland counties to stand with us. We will be offering another outreach to our brothers in Montgomery County in December.

Wish us luck!
