Richard Montana Allegations
Montana Accused Of Murder. “The suspect has been identified as 47-year-old Richard Montana, from Arlington. Police said that at this time, he appears to have known the woman as an acquaintance; they have no evidence of a stronger relationship. He did not live in the home with her. Neighbors said they heard the victim, 40-year-old Silvia Vaca Abacay, screaming for help Wednesday, according to police. Officers were called to the 2900 block of Willston Place in Falls Church to investigate a domestic disturbance around 3 p.m. Those who love her told police they know her by the name Kelly. Friends tell WUSA9 that she’s originally from Bolivia and moved here several years ago; her two teenage children are still in Bolivia.” [WUSA]
Abacay Died After Being Set On Fire. “O’Carroll said officers were called to the 2900 block of Willston Place in Falls Church to investigate a domestic disturbance after neighbors heard a woman screaming for help. When officers arrived, they found Fairfax Fire crews also pulling up to the apartment complex. When crews entered the apartment, they found a woman on fire. First responders attempted to save the woman but she died from her injuries. “This is a horrific crime and profoundly sad,” said O’Carroll.” [WUSA]
