I think if the Domino's guy opened the envelope and found a lot more money than was required to buy that particular pizza, he wouldn't put aside his shock.

As for being able to tell about someone via toppings, if I order a pizza that has sausage and mushrooms, everyone who knows me will know that I am not the intended recipient of that pizza, since I am a vegetarian who despises mushrooms. So I think this would fall under "no such thing as a stupid question" but strongly suspect that they have better leads than this. If the pizza crust hadn't been the thing that broke the case, I would have thought the pizza angle to be too crazy for words, but here we are.

I don't understand why many people are so surprised about the pizza crust dna. DNA is collected all the time from various things, like food, utensils, cups, soda can, cigarettes, hair brush.etc etc etc..your DNA is all around.

thank you bill nye

He's a Sidwell graduate, after all.

I'll take that as a compliment.

This case really makes me think every family should have a code language.

It was pretty clear by that interview she wanted to be on the next DC housewives show. "This is my moment!"

The way a lot of people keep bringing up how they are shocked or surprised about the pizza crust just shows how many people didn't think of the DNA from saliva being on the crust. A lot of people just think about fingerprints but a criminal has DNA on file to be searched against.

Nope. It is the absurdity of ordering a pizza while in the middle of murdering for people and that very pizza leading to your downfall.

I don't see how the pizza delivery is absurd considering what just happened. Plus they were alive or at SS was until the afternoon the next day.

I think SS convinced him to order to get someone to the house, hoping they would see something or a neighbor might think it was off to see Domino's at midnight. Someone showed him where the envelope was and more than likely gave him the idea to put money in the envelope and leave it out front. Maybe that is how the perp got the money drop on the front step idea??(it was just easy to get his pizza on the front step) I'm sure SS was thinking and trying anything he could to get his family safe.


I'm sure there is much more evidence (he was in that house almost 24hrs) but Domino's pizza kids already leaked to the media that they delivered that night. Police shared the evidence they collected shortly after with the suspect name.

Agree..I feel like he worked in the house on a reno (I read the kitchen was being reno'd) project possibly as the painter? If so, he would be there early in the morning everyday and know the whole routine. He would know the in's and out's of the house, the dog would be familiar with him too depending on how long he has worked there.

Jealous much?? Who cares! She spoke pleasantly about the family and was very respectful.

Some interesting information from the AP and, Jesus, check out who his attorney was:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/suspect-named-killing-wealthy-dc-family-housekeeper-31198569

Also in 2010, Wint was arrested outside the American Iron Works headquarters while carrying a 2-foot-long machete and a BB pistol, but weapons charges were dropped after he pleaded guilty to possessing an open container of alcohol in a retail area, court records show.

Attorney Robin Ficker, who defended Wint in other cases, said he didn't seem violent or capable of murder.

"My impression of him — I remember him rather well — is that he wouldn't hurt a fly. He's a very nice person," Ficker said.

Oh my goodness. Wow.

Ficker is just trying to cover his @ss so he doesnt look like a typical defense attorney

It's not a jealousy thing. It's a distaste for people that glom onto tragedies in order to garner their own attention.

Explains why he knew about NG schedule, why he didn't harm the other maid like the others and how he knew how to disarm the security(Home owners give lots of workers the codes because they are going in and out all day long or they simply disable the alarm when the workers come)

That's your assumption about her. I don't know her but she's not here to defend herself either.

Maybe i have different standards for class and tact. Calling up tv networks trying to get an interview within a week after your "friend" is murdered is low rent.

I know Elizabeth and I would just like to say that I am sure her motivation here was to honor Amy's memory. I knew Amy as well (although I was not as close to her as Elizabeth was - for those of you doubting - yes, they were friends) and I also knew her to be a wonderful, devoted mother. Maybe for those of us who knew them it feels right to talk about the kind of people they were while we all try to wrap our heads around this unspeakable tragedy.

I posted the original pizza comment. I appreciate all the feedback. If he painted the house, why did the housekeeper state she had never seen him before? I too thought he could have done some paiting in the house. However, I recall reading somewhere she had never seen him before.

I bet he is employed by a construction company doing work at the house and remembered SS from 10 years ago and thought "jackpot"
