Interesting. Wonder how the police knew he would be at Dulles?

I’m sure they had him under surveillance to try to get a dna sample.

Sounds like she got a few good swings in to injur him—good for her. And he tried to clean it all up which pretty much eliminates an insanity defense.

Does sound like he had a drug problem. The fact that he and his mother moved a few months after the killing…..wonder if she knew. He probably came home pretty much a mess.

Good catch, I missed that.

Yes. At the time he was a very accomplished professor at UMD. Now teaches at CMU. He's a pioneer in the field of IT systems security.

Yep, after reading the arrest warrant, it seems that he was a likely drug user who was a suspect in multiple burglaries in the area. It's possible this was a burglary attempt gone wrong and she caught him in the act.

What happened at the arraignment? I am assuming no bond.

It reminds me of the case in Rockville from May 2015 where the guy killed his neighbors, a husband and wife, and pawned items he had stolen. He was caught boarding a cruise to Alaska for a family vacation.

But why choose that house and so early in the day when it was likely someone was home. Does anyone know exactly where his family lived?
