WASHINGTON — D.C. police are still combing through evidence as they investigate the killing of a family and their housekeeper in their house in Northwest.
Daron Wint is the only one charged in the murders of Savvas and Amy Savopoulos; their 10-year-old son, Philip; and Veralicia Figueroa on Woodland Road, but investigators and court documents say he had help.
The charging documents reveal that another person could have been driving the family’s blue Porsche the day it was found burning in New Carrollton hours after the murders.
The day of the blaze, according to the charging documents, the family’s Porsche was driven erratically by a man with short, well-groomed hair. The driver was also seen wearing a neon lime-green construction vest, one of which was found in the car and several of which were found in the family’s garage. Daron Wint’s lawyer says he couldn’t have been the driver — while he was a fugitive, the wanted posters showed him with long hair.
ABC News crime and terrorism analyst Brad Garrett says they could still find evidence in the burned-out house, even after more than a week.
“If you’re in a house for more than 24 hours — think of your own house. What do you touch? The bathroom, the kitchen, the basement — you’re all over the place. The bad guys touch the walls; you can’t burn all that up.”
The Associated Press reports that Wint’s DNA was found on the crust of a partially eaten slice of pizza, one of two pies ordered the night of May 13 while the family and the housekeeper were “being held against their will,” an affidavit said, according to The Associated Press.
A woman believed to be Amy Savopoulos paid for the pizzas by credit card and told the delivery person to leave the food on the porch, because she was “nursing her sick child” and would not come to the door, the document says.
