South Carolina woman Amy Vilardi, who became known for her emotional interviews following the discovery of a gruesome murder scene involving four of her loved ones in 2015, has been arrested along with her husband Rosmore Vilardi in connection with the quadruple slaying. The shocking incident had deeply impacted the rural community of South Carolina.

Anderson County Sheriff Chad McBride announced the arrests, stating, "I think we knew this day would come." Amy Vilardi, who had previously appealed for answers in TV interviews, now finds herself facing charges for the murders of her mother, stepfather, and two grandmothers.

The victims of the brutal killings were Amy Vilardi's mother, Cathy Scott, her stepfather, Mike Scott, and her two grandmothers, Barbara Scott and Violet Taylor. The horrific incident took place in their home outside Pendleton in November 2015. The victims had been shot and stabbed to death, with authorities noting that they had no opportunity to defend themselves.

At the time of the killings, Amy Vilardi and her husband had recently married, just eight weeks before the tragic event. Vilardi had made a 911 call, claiming to have discovered the bodies upon returning from a trip with her husband. She expressed her disbelief and confusion, stating, "I don't understand why any of it has happened and I just keep thinking it's a dream I'm going to wake up from."

Vilardi and her husband were arrested and charged with four counts of murder on Friday. They were subsequently denied bond during their court appearance on Saturday. The couple had been living in a mobile home near the three-bedroom bungalow where the murders took place. Vilardi, who also operated a mobile pet grooming business called 'Styles For Miles,' had been vocal in demanding progress in the investigation, questioning why authorities were not making more headway.

The South Carolina community was deeply shaken by the unsolved murders that rocked Pendleton, and the recent arrests provide a potential breakthrough in the case. The Anderson County Sheriff's Office has not disclosed specific details regarding the breakthrough that led to the arrests after eight long years.

Amy Vilardi's arrest, after years of public pleading for answers, has left many in shock and disbelief. The upcoming court appearance on February 20 will shed further light on the case and provide additional information about the developments that led to the long-awaited arrests.
