Delores DeWitt, 42, was found dead with her daughter in a burned, stolen car in a Largo-area driveway on Webbwood Court in Prince George’s County on the morning of Monday, March 16, 2009. Firefighters discovered the vehicle ablaze outside an empty home; when the flames were extinguished the two bodies were inside. Investigators later described both women as having been strangled before the car was set on fire, and police reported the vehicle had been stolen that same day.

The killings drew immediate attention because they resembled another recent mother-daughter slaying in the same county corridor. Authorities examined links to a string of burglaries and home invasions where keys or covert access appeared to be used, and ultimately a grand jury indicted Jason Thomas Scott on July 27, 2010, on counts including murder and burglary in connection with the DeWitt deaths.

In September 2013 Scott entered an Alford plea and received two life sentences with all but 85 years suspended; prosecutors did not pursue additional charges tied to other killings. Did anyone in the Largo area at that time notice suspicious activity or vehicles around Webbwood Court in mid-March 2009?
