May 21 2015, Updated 9:56 a.m. ET
Late Wednesday night, D.C. police identified Daron Dylon Wint, 34, as the primary suspect in the murders of Savvas Savopoulos, his wife Amy, son Philip, and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa.
The break in the case came after authorities matched Wint to DNA discovered on the crust of Domino's pizza that had been delivered to the Savopoulos house – where the victims were held and tortured for several hours – the night of the murders.
According to reports, the next morning, Savopoulos' personal assistant arrived at the residence to drop off a package containing $40,000 in cash.
By Thursday afternoon, the house had been set on fire and the family Porsche would be found 15 miles away, also set ablaze.
