DC - Savvas Savopoulos, family & Veralicia Figueroa murdered; Daron Wint Arrested #22

[Inthedetails]

(OT: Workplace shooting in Maryland this morning. Multiple people shot. I'm waiting for a thread to appear on WS (I'm not good at starting threads). Nothing to do with Savpoulos case, but I know we have some breaking-news buffs on the thread.)

Please excuse this interruption.

Edited to add link. There is a WS thread: MD - 'Multiple Victims' reported in shooting in Maryland suburb, 20 Sept 2018

What is the significance of an Arby’s receipt in JW’s car? Thanks

Time stamp for the day of the fire - shows he wasn't at the house at that time. Stopped at Arby's for lunch.

I just read something on twitter. It may have been mentioned and I just skimmed through...

JW had gasoline in his car? His car tested positive for gasoline. JW explained the positive testing for gas inside of his car as 1) a carborator he was transporting and 2) trips getting lead-free gas because the millionaires balked at the jacked up gas prices at the tracks.

Also, an Arby's receipt? This case gives me a headache for real.

My car would test positive for gas, too. I transport a red Metal gas can for lawnmover fuel to and from the gas station. My last 8 vehicles would have tested positive for gas, too.

Receipt corroborates JW story that he told to the police -- he was not near the house when this evil act went down.

Off topic- probably covering the murder of Wendy Martinez and the office shooting.
Not a good 24 hours in metro DC area.

Yes that is my thought as well. Very sad day in the news.

I'm curious about DW's reaction to the photos. (But, maybe he's seen the pictures previously, and anyway... it's likely he won't show any reaction/emotion.)

So do you think the flashover fire in OS room was caused by DW throwing a Molotov cocktail?

Why is DW wearing red earbuds ?
It’s been a while since I’ve been in a courtroom...is this a new thing?

That was my question too. Why does he have ear buds?

(I like the courtroom sketches. Sometimes they are not that good, but I like this artist's work.)

Mansion Murders: Day 6 of Daron Wint trial brings graphic photo of Philip Savopolous' burned body

"A photo was shown of two gray telephone boxes located in the back of the house, near the white French doors that open into the kitchen. Five wires coming out of those boxes had been cut."

 

[zencompass]

Would these french doors mentioned in the above quote be the same ones as mentioned here?

Search warrants: Shoe print, broken door show signs of forced entry into Savopoulos' home
"The warrant says a shoe or boot print was found by investigators on an exterior French-style door of the Savopoulos' home and it suggests there was forced entry into the house. The door had a single broken window pane and was broken near the lock. Investigators are now searching for any shoe or boot with a similar tread pattern."

OMG- everything looked like it was constructed of lump charcoal.
I am having trouble wrapping my head around that statement.


And how would you know where the phone boxes are on the outside of the S house?

Wasn't that determined to be a kick from a firefighter? I could be wrong, but I recall there was a kick to a door that was made by a firefighter to open the door and let the dogs out?? Or was that a different kick?

Correct my memory as needed.

I think there was a French door in front and another in back.

My theory is DW cut wires, entered S house and got VF under control, then PS, then AS arrived. Then AS called SS to come home and he went.
