Deborah Brandão and her sister Sarah were inseparable. In an interview translated from Portuguese to English, Sarah told CNN she was already living in the U.S. when Deborah and her children arrived looking for a better "quality of life" than she was able to give herself and her children in Brazil. "She wanted to give a better life for both of them," Sarah said. Deborah and her sister lived near each other and worked together at Sarah's house cleaning business.
Not only did the two sisters work together, but when they were apart they spoke to each other on the phone constantly. When Deborah began dating Danelo Souza Cavalcante, who lived in the same county, everything appeared to be fine. "She said he was nice to her, he was nice to her children, that he helped her," Sarah told CNN. "He kept her company. She didn't feel alone anymore." They dated for about a year and a half, and by the end, he had become physically abusive and had threatened to kill her, according to a Facebook post from the Chester County District Attorney's Office.
