I don't know if this has been posted yet. It's a little hard to keep up with everything if you miss out on a day or two. At least this case doesn't change by the hour like the LV "road rage" one.
It's a fairly long article about Mr Messerschmitt and his career.
Slain DLA Piper Associate Had 'A Promising Future' (National Law Journal 2/16/2015)
Police seek "person of interest" in David Messerschmitt's stabbing death
Like I said, I probably haven't been catching up to everything, but I didn't know that his wife heard from him over two hours after he'd been at the hotel. Apparently right around the time of the surveillance video released.
I also didn't know much about his wife, other than seeing it mentioned that she was Asian. Her name sounds Vietnamese to me. I wonder if she came to the US or is from an immigrant family. Since so many Vietnamese came here after the fall of Saigon, it's likely the latter.
I wonder if it was an in-law that he was fooling around with or an in-law used this way to trap him for some reason or another? The person in the video footage looks like they could be SE-Asian.
If she had family around, that would be possible. If she immigrated herself, not as likely.

Slain DLA Piper Associate Had 'A Promising Future' (National Law Journal 2/16/2015)
Police seek "person of interest" in David Messerschmitt's stabbing death
Recommending David Messerschmitt for a federal court clerkship in 2008, Judge Susan Dlott said the young lawyer had "a promising future as a law clerk and attorney." A former colleague in his associate class at Mayer Brown remembered him as low-key, happy, fastidious and good at giving advice.
Messerschmitt, 30, most recently an associate at DLA Piper, was found unconscious and unresponsive in a hotel room in downtown Washington on the morning of Feb. 10. Police said he had been stabbed multiple times.
While the circumstances of his death remain unclear, Dlott and lawyers who worked with Messerschmitt over the years in Washington and Chicago reeled at his loss.
The authorities last week released hotel surveillance video and photographs depicting a "person of interest" who was seen entering The Donovan Hotel on the night of Feb. 9. The person, whose gender is unclear from the video, covers his or her face at one point in the video.
Messerschmitt's wife, Kim Vuong, told police she received a text Monday at 7:34 p.m. from her husband saying he'd be home in an hour, The Washington Post reported. Vuong told police that "everything seemed fine today" and that her husband wasn't known to disappear, the Post reported. The Donovan is about a mile from DLA Piper's office in Washington.
