As brokenhearted friends try to piece together the events leading up to the family’s deaths, they’ve organized a GoFundMe, which will pay for a memorial service in Buffalo Grove, tentatively scheduled for next week.
A memorial filled with dozens of bouquets of flowers and stuffed animals sits outside the Kisliak home along Acacia Terrace on Dec. 2, 2022, in Buffalo Grove. Five members of the family were found dead in the home.
Police had discovered their bodies on Nov. 30 after someone who knew Vera called for a well-being check. Dzhorayeva moved to the neighborhood in 2019 and often took her three children to the local park, where she met Vera and her daughters. Before this year, Dzhorayeva said, she would wave whenever she saw Andrei driving by their house, and he would wave back.
“My husband would come play at the park too, and Vivian just loved chasing him,” Dzhorayeva said. “To me, it’s funny that such a young girl could be brave enough to try to chase an adult.” Vera visited family in Belarus over the summer, but her husband prevented her from taking her daughters with her, Dzhorayeva said. When Vera returned, she spoke about having a great time, full of home-cooked meals, Dzhorayeva said, but said she wished her daughters had been there.
Vera sent Montgomery five records of case numbers where law enforcement was involved in a domestic dispute. Montgomery said he estimates, based on conversations with Vera and people who knew her, that law enforcement was contacted between 20 and 30 times for these issues. One friend of Vera’s, Dimitry Kuzmenko, told the Tribune that he estimated police had been at the house once or twice a week since the summer.
“I think that’s where the shock comes,” Dzhorayeva said. “She was just confident that nothing would happen to the girls, just herself.”
