Mansion Killings: New DNA Evidence On Vest

New details this week in the D.C. mansion murder investigation.

Authorities have said they identified Wint as a suspect when his DNA was found on a pizza crust at the home.

Key evidence has surfaced in the murders of a Washington D.C. family and their housekeeper, as the suspect’s DNA was taken off a construction vest in a auto of the victim’s.

At a Monday hearing, Detective Jeffrey Owens testified that a receipt for an immigration lawyer was found at Wint’s father’s house.

Police say Wint held the family captive for 18 hours inside their mansion and beat and stabbed them to death and set the home on fire after he received a $40,000 ransom.

Savopoulos’ DNA and that of an unnamed third person were found on the vest as well.

A preliminary and detention hearing is scheduled for Darron Dylon Wint at 11 a.m. He is charged with killing three members of a prominent Washington family, along with their housekeeper.

Owens also said that a knife found behind the home as well as a baseball bat are being examined as possible murder weapons, The Washington Post reported.

The investigator also shed new light on Wint’s arrest a week after the incident, saying that police recovered more than $30,000 from two vehicles that Wint and his associates, including his brother, were riding in.

Savopoulos was the CEO of American Ironworks, a Hyattsville construction materials supply company, where Wint once worked.
