“The evidence suggests that her murder was a crime of domestic violence, committed in the very place where she should have been safest – her own home,” Conley said.
The arrest followed a review of surveillance camera footage, interviews with witnesses and a search warrant, the DA’s office said.
Revere police responded to the home at 93 Grand View Ave. at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday after Andrew MacCormack called 911. They found Vanessa MacCormack, 30, inside with “obvious signs of physical trauma.” source
Vanessa MacCormack was a second-grade teacher at William P. Connery Elementary School.
“Vanessa taught at Connery for five years and was in this district for seven years,” the principal said in a statement. “She was a talented, dedicated and passionate educator and a loyal, kind and compassionate friend and colleague.”
Vanessa MacCormack was the mother of a 1-year-old girl.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
