D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier ^ said that the fire at the stately home on Woodland Drive NW was intentionally set, that three of the four victims inside had wounds, and that the family’s Porsche 911 was found torched in a church parking lot in Hyattsville, Md.
Lanier said that three victims suffered blunt force or sharp object wounds and that all four deaths in the upscale neighborhood near the vice president’s residence were being investigated as homicides.
“Evidence collection will go on for several days,” Lanier said. “There’s still a lot more we don’t know.”
Lanier renewed a call she originally made Thursday for information about the family’s blue 2008 Porsche 911, which disappeared from the home Thursday morning.
She asked the public to contact authorities if anyone had seen it between Wednesday and Thursday at 5 p.m. — a larger time frame than authorities had initially requested. Lanier declined to explain why investigators now wanted to know about the car’s whereabouts a day earlier.

Strange and interesting case.
Someone assaults 3 of the 4 residents at the house, burns the house down, steals the Porsche, and then sets the Porsche on fire in a church parking lot. Why?
People in the neighborhood and family members have told the press that the family was great, they were close, everybody loved them... Well, somebody didn't love them, unless this was a random crime -- that would be surprising to me. Seems very personal.
Got a Rockford hunch to toss out MS?
