BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE -- SAVOPOULOS/FIGUEROA MURDERS, D.C.

[HairOfTheDog]

It turns out the footprint on the door was from a firefighter trying to gain entry to the home.

Thanks for that update d505. It might have been nice for prosecutors to have a footprint from Wint, but they've got the DNA which is even better.

I'm at least glad that the print was matched definitively to a firefighter so the defense can't use it to support a claim that someone other than Wint broke-in and committed all the crimes.

I believe wint wore the vests to appear as a city worker.

There were several of the same kind of vests found inside the Wint garage. I was thinking that Wint put one of those on to slip out of the house without raising suspicion if he was seen (or to cover blood on his clothes). But, it's possible he got a hold of a vest beforehand or had one from a previous job he did while employed for Savopoulos at American Iron Works.

He probably knocked on the door gained entry when child mother and housekeeper were there. The mother then calls the father and asks him to come home according to the surviving housekeeper. I am guessing wint forces the mom to call the husband.

I wish that dad had just told Wallace or someone to call 911 immediately. I think wint would have fled.

I think you're right that Savvas Savopoulos was called home by his wife while she was under duress. He probably thought if he just did everything the perp(s) wanted, the family wouldn't be killed.

I wish it had turned out differently too.
