I can't imagine criminals ordering pizza to the house full of hostages! I'm sure there was plenty of food in SS home, for those who couldn't go a day without dinner. This whole story is just plain unreal. Can't make this stuff up. |
this isnt karate kid. Thats not how any of this works |
Thank you! Not to get super off tangent, but are the people who post that stuff really from DC? I always hope against hope that they are not from around here. |
| Wouldn't surprise me if the whole Wint clan is involved. |
I would think they were. Looks like a family operation. |
hard to fight back when your kid's life is at stake |

They had to know SS and that he had the ability to get large sums of cash quickly. I bet many of us have $40k in a readily available checking or savings account. (We do-thx to us behind behind in investing). But if I was tied up in a house I'd have zero ability to get this money on demand. For one, I don't have an "assistant". Who would I send in this errand? Plus banks don't even stock that much cash in hand.
There's no ways these crooks just randomly happened upon a guy with large amounts of cash on hand. They had to have known about this in advance. |
Wonderful. Knowing you have money really added to the case, huh. |
Some one told someone and this guy took advantage of the situation-perhaps the maid told her kid who told his friends and one of them was no good or it got back to this guy. It seems unlikely to be random. Sometimes people who work for the uber wealthy talk about the way they live, their homes, the oodles of $$$-It is sort of an indirect "brag" obout how the other half (or 1%) live. Poor or even middle class people are fascinated by it. This is why shows like my mtv cribs, or lifestyles of the rich and famous or event he damn Kardasjians are so popular. |
| OK, so forgive me if I'm being dense here, but had the $40,000 previously been arranged to be used at the Chantilly martial arts opening day? Or was that just used as a cover story to get the cash? Were the calls that were made to the accountant, etc, to get additional funds, or was it for the $40,000? |
None of us know for sure, we weren't there. Just going off of reports and rumors. |
Whatever, that was not my point at all. I shouldn't have personalized it. My point was, how did the perps happen upon a family that had immediate access to large sums of cash. There are lots of wealthy homes in NW DC but very, very few (almost none) of them could have $40k delivered by an assistant within hours. |
Don't think the perp or perps are that sophisticated. Probably saw the house, car, etc and thought they were robbing rich people who have a lot of money. Learned later that even rich people can't get their hands on large amounts of cash, only 40k, and got angry and ran. |
I know, right? I'd guess VA. As another tangent, I'm black with West Indian roots. I'm ashamed of this guy and don't think his behavior is reflective of either black Americans or West Indians, broadly speaking. Please be careful not to make sweeping generalizations, folks. |

Investigators found no sign of forced entry at the house, indicating that the killer or killers knew who they were and their routine. They also say that the killers entered the house on Wednesday, keeping the family bound through Thursday afternoon.
