Washington D.C. police issued an arrest warrant late Wednesday for a suspect in the murder of a corporate executive, his wife, their 10-year-old son, and a family housekeeper in their home last week. The suspect is named as 34-year-old Daron Dylan Wint. He is charged with first- degree murder while armed. Police told the Washington Post that Wint is a native of Maryland, and they did not know his whereabouts. Savvas Savopoulos, 46; Amy Savopoulos, 47; their son, Philip; and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa, 57, were found dead on the second floor of their burning home in Northwest Washington May 14. The Post also reported, citing three law enforcement officials close to the investigation, that police linked Wint to the murder scene by analyzing DNA from the crust of a Domino's pizza that had been ordered to the house on the night of May 13. The delivery man told WTTG that he delivered two pizzas to the house and was paid with cash left on an envelope outside the front door. Authorities believe that the four victims were held at the home against their will overnight before they were killed sometime the following day. Earlier Wednesday, Nelitza Gutierrez, the family's longtime housekeeper, told WTTG that a package containing $40,000 in cash was scheduled to be delivered to the Savopoulos house on the morning of the fire. Gutierrez told the station an assistant was scheduled to drop off the cash, which was to be used for the opening of a martial arts center in Chantilly, Va. Gutierrez said she spoke with the person who was supposed to make the delivery and he confirmed he dropped it off at the house on the morning of May 14. When firefighters arrived at the home that afternoon, the money was unaccounted for, as was a blue Porsche that was registered to Amy Savopoulos. The vehicle was found late that afternoon in the parking lot of a church in Prince George's County, Md., where it had been torched. Shortly after the fire, Gutierrez revealed that she had received a text message on the morning of the fire telling her not to come into work because the family was sick. Sources close to the investigation told WTTG that Savvas and Amy Savopouloses, as well as Figueroa, were all found dead in chairs and were doused with gasoline. Philip Savopoulos was found in his bed, burned beyond recognition and with lacerations to his body.

Ok,does that make any sense to anybody? Who opens a business without a paper trail for tax and permit purposes? I'm thinking Savvas Savopoulos was involved in something a little more serious than a new karate studio. Something like fronting a drug dealer a pack of cash for a cut of the profits.
I went there as soon as I read about the cash.
