I'm coming around to accepting that DW acted alone inside the house. But it's still driving me nuts trying to figure how he got in and out undetected without any help. Even if he was able to walk to and from the Metro unnoticed by someone in the community there are cameras in Metro stations that would have shown him, and someone on one of those trains would have probably recalled seeing him after his picture was all over the news. Also, there are embassies and expensive homes all over that area with security cameras. Something or someone would have detected him. Where did he get the gasoline and duct tape? He couldn't walk around outside carrying a container of gasoline and have no one notice. Who was driving the Porsche, and why steal it just to burn it? Why did he burn his own van and why was it parked downtown? It must have contained evidence of the crime. My guess is that he had it towed to avoid the possibility of being pulled over by police while he was driving and having that evidence seized. Someone must have provided transportation for him either to and/or from that house, probably driving him in his own van. These are questions that keep me up at night. I hate the idea of anyone who helped him commit this horrendous act go unpunished.
I do understand all of the unanswered questions you and others have.
For decades I have followed criminal cases and each and every time so many have unanswered questions in all of the cases. Questions that never are answered.
It's impossible to know all of these things unless the suspect gives a confession and even in cases where it's happened there are still questions left unanswered.
In cases where a suspect pleads guilty we think we are finally going to know all of the details that leaves no unanswered questions. However in most cases the defendant just has to admit guilt leaving so many questions that are never answered.
With Wint he is the type to never divulge the details of how he did all of this. He will never admit guilt or say he was solely involved from beginning to end even though his own brother in law testified he contacted him wanting him to assist in burning his own van which he declined to do thank goodness.
I don't think he needed any help but he did want his family member involved. I think his motive was to have someone else he could blame.
He seems to use his family when it is an advantage to him. Other than that he has no use for them. When he doesn't have a need to use them then he returns to being hostile and belligerent having a volatile relationship.
I believe one of his deep seeded motives was to feel the power and control over how and when his four victims would die. I think a lot of it was about needing to feel this sick twisted power over others which he had never had before.
He exhibits many traits of a narcissist psychopath. When they do resort to murder it's often horrendous overkills...where the evidence shows gross torture was involved.
They rarely if ever plead guilty or confess. I think that is another control factor of their narcissistic beliefs which let's them only know the detailed dark secrets of what all they have done and how they did it all.
They know normal people long for answers and they inwardly gloat that only they know those answers which they will never give up. To do so would be giving up their power and control.
So I have learned to live with the fact that unanwered question will be left unanswered.
In the end at least these cases were proven in court the suspects were guilty. No case has all questions answered but at least there was evidence of guilt BARD so they are held accountable no matter what they divulge themselves.
That is truly what really matters the most.
ETA I have heard many seasoned detectives say...in a lot of these cases..the luck was on the side of the murderers. That makes sense because in a lot of them there were no eye witnesses who saw or heard anything when it was happening.
