A violent home invasion in May 2015 ended the lives of Savvas Savopoulos, 46; his wife Amy, 47; their son Philip, 10; and their housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa, 57. Firefighters responding to a house fire on May 14 found the four victims; investigators determined the fire had been set to conceal a crime. The family had been held captive nearly 24 hours, tortured and killed, and a $40,000 ransom was taken after being delivered to the house. The family’s Porsche was stolen and later found burned in a Maryland church parking lot.

DNA on a partially eaten Domino’s pizza crust brought investigators to a former employee, Daron Wint, who had worked as a welder for a company owned by Savopoulos. Wint was arrested after a manhunt and charged; prosecutors relied on the pizza DNA, a hair from a bedroom and DNA on a knife recovered in the basement. In October 2018 a jury convicted Wint on multiple counts including murder, kidnapping, extortion and arson, and he received consecutive life sentences without parole.

What details about the case or the neighborhood’s security on May 13–14 might someone with information still be able to provide?
