Matt was shot and killed. Sweat still being chased
Charging document pg 11 states the decedents were murdered after the $40,000 was delivered to the house by W1
The link you were asked to provide was to your post suggesting JW was suspected by LE of taking a "large chunk" of the $40k and him being the last person to see it
The link you provided was What Cops Found in Car Mansion Murder Suspect Was Traveling In where police were looking for cash in the vehicles involved with Wint
From the Ford/Chevy SW: Your affiant believes all four decedents were held captive by Mr. Wint and others until the $40,000 forty thousand was delivered to the Savopoulos's residence by W-1. After all the money was delivered the four decedents were killed.
So as of May 22, LE apparently believes the JW did deliver all $40,000 to the house.

Agree. After search warrants..
Wint was found with money and blood on his shoe, JW has not been charged or named as a suspect after searches and interviews
The charging documents also make it clear that JW was the last person to see the money and he told LE he delivered the money and that he admitted he lied and revised his story. Nowhere in the charging documents does it say that LE confirmed JW's last version was true. In fact, it notes neither the manila envelope nor cash was seen in the red car where he claims he left it.

The difference between NG and JW is a big one. NG did not drive to the crime scene carrying 40k for the ransom. That right there puts JW in a very suspicious position.

It doesn't say what LE believes, it says what JW told them. Those are charging documents for Wint. Obviously, LE is not going to use a witness to keep Wint in jail without bond and then say publicly they don't believe the witness. Wint's attorney would have him on the street immediately.

LE can't give different stories on different docs - that would be a nightmare at trial time. The officer requesting the SW is saying that HE believes the money was delivered at the time he wrote the SW application. His opinion may be different by now, or not. IDK. I do know that LE would be doing the defense attorney's work for him if they say they believe different things in different docs, unless they have obtained new information that changed their beliefs in the interim. We don't really know what is in the detective's heart, but we do know that he's going on the record stating he believes the money was delivered. When I have time, I can check to see how it was worded in other docs. Or someone else can do it by going to https://www.scribd.com/doc/267779255/Return-After-Search-of-Ford and scrolling through the other docs to the right and at the bottom.
Just because someone isn't a named suspect doesn't mean they aren't a suspect. Cops often don't name suspects prior to their arrest.

Wallace has not been charged with a crime, and court documents do not name him as a suspect.

Court documents are sworn by LE
JW was certainly a POI in the beginning, if not now. POI is not a legal term - it just means they think something might be there and they are going to investigate further. If LE believed he was completely uninvolved in the beginning, I don't know that they would have reason to get a SW for his car. They were looking for evidence related to the murders. A completely uninvolved person would not have evidence relating to the murders in his car. Perhaps the SW eliminated JW from suspicious. IDK. I think it's fair to say that as of May 15th, LE believed he may have been involved. We don't know if they now have information that leads them to believe he is not involved. A lot has happened since May 15th - DW's DNA was matched and blood was found on his shoe when he was arrested. We don't know LE's theory of the crime, other than that they stated they believed that DW had help as late as May 22nd.

I agree, Day 1. He was a crucial witness, communicated with SS, delivered the ransom..and the bonehead lied. So...that moved him into a bad spot. He's now at the top of the list to be investigated. They had to get independent verification and check out each and every aspect of his final accounting. IMO the police verified through text history and context, video, phone history, searches and interviews with other witnesses...and it has apparently, IMO, checked out. Once Wints DNA was found and he was arrested and charged LE has had six weeks to determine if any link exists between them. Nothing. The search of the car? LE again has not named this man a suspect.
I agree except LE has never backed down from their assertion that DW did not act alone. We don't know who their other POIs are, so we don't know if those POIs have undergone the same scrutiny as JW. As far as we know, no one has been arrested except DW. Maybe LE changed their minds about DW acting alone, but if they haven't, the absence of an arrest doesn't mean someone has been cleared. No one from the convoy has been arrested, but that doesn't mean they won't be.

On the first, I've always thought it was likely that SS contacted JW the night before, along the lines of "heads up, I'll need you tomorrow morning to pick up a package for me, I'll give you the details in the morning." Then Thursday morning SS contacted JW again with instructions as to where to go for the pickup. This would also explain why JW said he was told to make the pickup that morning, but had a text about it from the night before.

I agree. And even if they are never arrested, it doesn't automatically prove that all of their stories were checked out to be true. It could instead just mean that there is not enough evidence as of yet to prove beyond a reasonable doubt they are involved with the crime in a court of law. Or, it could mean those people are working with LE.
NOBODY can say that it is a fact that no arrest after six weeks means everyone who has been under investigation is cleared. (Repeating it again and again doesn't make it so.) Because that logic would fly in the face of other cases where people were arrested after having been investigated for longer than six weeks. People can guess or assume. But that doesn't mean they are right.
It sounds to me like he left a big chunk with his brother/cousin (can't keep everyone straight) who was having it laundered while DW was in NYC. I think DW always intended to come back to DC.
DW did not have the entire $40,000 nor is it known whether the money he did have came from the ransom or some other crime such as drugs. JMO
"Originally Posted by katydid23 If he did not deliver the $, where did all the cash that DW had come from?"
Other poss for sources of currency & proceeds like M/O's, DDW & chums had at time of his DC arrest? For ex:
Is it poss DDW left S home w
- $40,000 currency JW delivered, i.e., only $40,000 currency?- $40,000 currency, $40,000 currency plus more currency in home (pre-JW delivery, maybe from safe?)? or
- $40,000 currency plus prop. from S home, which he sold or pawned before his DC arrest? or
- any of above plus $ from drug sales or illegal sources? or
- legit welding work or other lawful job? Put me down for doubtful on this poss.
One poss scenario I find extreeeeeeemely unlikely is JW delivering >$40,000 to S home.
Q: Has $40,000 amt - discussed as amt acct'ant provided to JW - actually bn stated in SW or LE presser?
AIW acct'ant ---> $40,000 ---> JW, who delivered some or all to S home, where DW picked up what-ev amt, & took it w him.
Acct'ant's act in providing this to JW seems to be last reliably known/reported $ amt provided to JW.
Reliable if based on -
- BoA hard copy & e-records of w/drawal $ amt, and
- BoA surv cam of teller transaction w acct'ant - handing over, and
- acct'ant's truthful stmt to LE.
If acct'ant provided < $40,000 to JW, then when GF texted JW 'how much?' JW's text w/not have said 40 ($40,000), imo.
JM2cts, could be all wrong.
