When a fire broke out inside a D.C. mansion just steps from the Vice President’s residence, first responders expected smoke, not a massacre. Inside, they found four people bound and tortured, including a 10-year-old boy, murdered after being held hostage for nearly 22 hours. A missing Porsche, a hard drive ripped from the wall, and a crust of leftover pizza left on the bed were the first clues in a case that shook the nation’s capital. But what unfolded in the courtroom raised deeper questions: did he act alone or was this a carefully orchestrated inside job?

The victims were 46-year-old Savvas Savopoulos, his wife 47-year-old Amy Savopoulos, their 10-year-old son Philip Savopoulos, and their 57-year-old housekeeper Veralicia "Vera" Figueroa.
