The desperate manhunt. Command was given, go, go, go. Right here . Right there. And the search for answers. These people had a plan. Its sadistic, its horrific. Tonight, a cnn special report the d. C. Mansion murders. Sunday, may 3rd, near phoenix, arizona. A race day for philip. The 10yearold son of saba and amy selopolis. He was passionate beyond belief. No matter how he did on track, hed be smiling ear to ear. James howard is philips coach. In this exclusive cnn interview he recalls their last race. A typical day we would get up in the morning. Breakfast. Go to a track. Amy and sava followed his races all over the country, completely devoted to their son and his sport. I think it was the third time on track that day when philip had his accident. During the race philip crashed his go cart. I and sava went onto the track to go see philip. And he was in typical good spirits. Was not faze the by his accident in any way, shape or form. Philip suffered a concussion and doctors sent him home for bed rest. He was going to stay home. Kind of schedule what the doctors have laid out, rest for a few days, a little bit of homework. Home was a sevopolis family mansion in one of the wealthiest parts of washington, d. C. Not far from several embassies and the Vice President s house. Woodland drive is known for having the biggest, most expensive houses in the entire city. But home would be no safe haven. Ten days after philips race, a series of strange events begin at the mansion. First, on wednesday at 5 56 p. M. The Security Company monitoring the sevopolis gets an alert for broken glass on the french doors on the side of the house. Im lucky that im still here. Shortly after, a voice mail is left for the familys second housekeeper, nolisa gutierrez, telling her not to come to work as planned. She played the message for abc. Its sava. I hope you get this message. Amy is in bed sick tonight and she was sick this afternoon and vera offered to stay and help her out so shes going to stay the night here. To this former director of the fbi it sounds suspicious. If you were an investigator listening to that, whats that going to tell you . Its telling me im going to get that recorder analyzed to see if there are extraneous noises spiking up in the background. Is there someone in the background, under duress . A few hours later gutierrez get aztecs from amy. Im making sure you do not come today. So when you got that text, were you thinking that that was strange or unusual to get a text like that . Yes. What did you first think when you got it . I called her right away. Did she answer . No. Hi, youve reached my cell phone, i cannot answer right now later at 9 00 p. M. , amy orders two pizzas from dominos but gives unusual strucks. Ring the bell and leave the pies on the front porch. When the driver arrives the porch lights are on but the house is dark. Its just so eerie to think about little did that pizza driver know. Right. So hes walking up, feet away from torture, from sadism, from mayhem inside that house. From the outside, things would seem quiet here on Woodland Drive overnight. Until the next morning. When housekeeper vera figueroas husband comes looking for her. Knocking, knocking, ringing the bell. My feeling was that somebody wasnt there. A short time after, he gets a call from savvas sevopolis. Im sorry because i didnt call you that night, she had to stay with my wife because she was feeling bad, she has to go to the hospital and asking vera to go with her. Veras husband goes home. A talk hours later, a mysterious delivery is made to the mansion. A package containing 40,000. Court records reveal savvas texted his assistant jordan wallace instructing him to bring the money to the house. Wallace lifts stacks of hundred dollar bills in one of the familys cars and leaves. At 1 30 p. M. , the d. C. Fire department gets a call reporting a fire on Woodland Drive. Flames are pouring from the second floor, coming from philips bedroom. We do know at this point that the fire apearce to be intentionally set. Once the flames are out, firefighters discover the grisly murder scene. Savvas, amy, philip, their bodies bloodied and burned. Vera is rushed to the hospital but doctors cant save her. A gruesome end to a nearly 20hour nightmare. This is really excessive, gratuitous violence. It goes well beyond just doing it for money. When we come back the savopol of the ous family. Why would anyone want them dead . Its really gutwrenching. And their suspected killer. How did he slip through the cracks . Theres a breakdown in the system somewhere. Love shrimp like i love shrimp, come to red lobsters endless shrimp. For as much as you want, any way you want it. Sweet, buttery, and creamy. Like new pineapple habanero coconut shrimp bites. And teriyaki grilled shrimp. And yeah, its endless, but it wont last forever. Advisor and team who understand where you come from.

Quicksilver earns you unlimited 1. 5 cash back on every purchase, everywhere. Its a simple question. Whats in your wallet . Once inside the property, firefighters doused the flames. They quickly found four bodies. Three of the four victims killed yesterday suffered Blunt Force Trauma before the fire began. There were injuries discovered, appear to be blunt force or sharp object injuries. Its a nightmare end to a fairy tale life. He tortured them, he killed them, even setting their home on fire. Shocking to all who knew this family like mike, who met Saavas Savopoulos decades earlier as a church altar boy. This kind of thing only happens in the movies, not to somebody you know in real life. Particularly to someone you know. And particularly to a couple and family so well liked and well respected in the community. And that is what is so shocking about this. They arent shady people. These are really familyoriented good people. Lori diamond went with saavas to his formal. He had eyes for somebody else. He said there was somebody that he always had a crush on. And that all she had to do was say yes. That someone was amy martin, the daughter of an army colonel. They first met in high school, and both went to the university of maryland where savvas seriously pursued amy for years. I think hed asked her out a lot. She finally did say yes. What was he like after that . The happiest person youve ever seen. From then on, they were inseparable. After graduation, savvas went to law school, amy went to work. They married in 1994. She was his whole world. And off they went on their journey. A journey that quickly led to children. Abigail was the first, katerina next, then philip. The son of a wealthy greek chris aristocrat, savvas soon joined his fathers business, american iron works. He was excited about it. Aris his fathers business, american iron works. He was excited about it. He wanted to help his dad and be successful right along with it. A partnership that brought wealth and abiding friendship. We went to dinner one night, and him and his dad were like the two kids that needed to be separated in class. And they were so close. And so funny. And i think he really looked up to his dad. And followed in his philanthropic footsteps. Savvas and amy were active in washington charities. Amy was a regular volunteer at the kids school. They just seemed like a very nice, quiet, washington couple who had lived under the radar. If anything, they deliberately kept a very low profile. This guy didnt care about wealth. He would have given money away. He was all about the experience. A tightknit family, whether it was amy leading them on hikes or savvas taking them on a yearlong getaway to the caribbean. Family to him was the most important thing. He was just the kind of person that wanted to be in love and have a family and grow old with them. And as the summer of 2015 approached, the savopoulos family was certainly growing up. Abigail was graduating from high school. Caterina was searching for colleges with her mother. Savvas was opening up a martial arts studio, something he had dreamed of doing when he was a teenager when he began training in the selfdefense art known as aki akito. He used to joke with me. Id put up a hand and hed just touch a nerve. And i would say, uncle, uncle, stop he knew how to defend himself. He really did. And philip was living his dream. As a gocart racer. Very fast learner, definitely no fear, he wasnt scared of it at all. Philips coach jay howard spoke to cnn exclusively about his young student with an old soul. He was the best way to describe it, 10 years old going on 35. I mean, he was so mature. So well spoken, very clear he had a great education. Great parenting and savvas was great with him. Howard remembers one of the last dinners they had together. The waiter comes over and says, would you like a bread basket . And he goes, i think im going to have to pass on the bread. Im trying to watch my carbs this week. You know. 10 years old. Im like, youre 10. Philip was inseparable from his dad. Especially since Sisters Abigail and caterina were away at boarding school. He was with him 24 7. Wherever we went, savvas was with him. Savvas was someone who was always in control of situations. He would have done anything. His only son, his beloved wife. He would have done anything for them. He was a proctor. For him to not be able to protect . It must have been awful. An awful end. When we come back, the terror inside the mansion. The body was so charred, they couldnt even determine gender. More sit per roll. Bounty is two times more absorbent. So one roll of bounty can last longer than those bargain brands.

Together, were building a better california. As the smoke clears and the days pass, we learn much more about the brazen killings that took place in this wealthy washington, d. C. , neighborhood in broad daylight. Were looking at this occurring somewhere around 6 00 in the evening. So this is probably a relatively active street. And right next door, the ambassador to australia. His residence right next door to this. Right. Right. So thats taking a fair amount of risk. A huge risk. The victims savvas and amy sa voep husband, their 10yearold son and housekeeper vera figaro were, were held hostage for almost 20 hours and tortured. Imagine how sadistic you have to be to slowly wring the life out of somebody or beat it out of somebody or cut them over and over again so that they are slowly bleeding to death. Its the product of an incredibly sick mind. Former fbi profiler Mary Ellen Otoole spent her career studying the criminal mind. This individual whos doing this or these individuals have a leader, a primary person. This person is getting off on hearing the screams and the cries, and is enjoying the power, enjoying the thrill, and i think being able to come in there, control this family, inflict these injuries, was something he actually enjoyed doing. But who did these things . Solving the crime depends heavily on unearthing physical evidence at the scene. When you have a quadruple homicide, this is in effect an all hands on deck. You want your best forensic people in this house. Some of the first clues they find, a shattered lock. And this shoe print on the french doors on the side of the house. Suggesting whoever held the family and their housekeeper hostage forced their way in. That picture we have seen of the shoe print, how telling could that be . Could be very telling if the police can locate a shoe of the same dimensions, particularly if they can identify brand. It may put a person into that shoe. And inside the estate, possible murder weapons. A Samurai Sword like this one taken from savvas martial arts collection. Veteran forensic scientist lawrence kobilinsky. A medical examiner would have to look very carefully at the blade. Is it honed on both sides or one side . How wide is it . How long is it . And a bloody baseball bat, similar to this, found in the upstairs bedroom where the three adults bludgeoned bodies are discovered. With blood at that thick surface, at the thick end of the bat, tells me that that was what was used to inflict that blunt trauma. Striking these poor people on the back of the head. A knife is discovered in the trash behind the house. And police find fingerprints and hair fibers. That would establish a direct linkage between a suspect or an individual and the crime scene. Police find duct tape believed to have been used to restrain the victims, and matches thought to have been used to start the fire. And then the familys porsche missing from the garage, found 13 miles from the mansion, engulfed in flames. Inside the burning car, a Green Construction vest, similar to vests worn by workers at savvas company, aiw. Was this part of some sort of ruse . That the offenders came in under so some, im the representative of a utility company, trying to get access to the house . Later that vest will provide another critical clue. The mystery deepens as Police Find Thousands of dollars of cash left behind in the house. Why would the killers leave money behind . It was not just about the money, it was not just about all the jewelry that probably was there. That really goes to the motivation of the offender, that these murders themselves were very important. And the autopsies show the murders were horrific. They had to be restrained, or else they couldnt have been tortured and treated the way they had. They would have fought back. Mr. Savvas savopoulos was a healthy young man, 46 years old. He certainly would have fought back if he had not been restrained. Even after the ransom money was dropped off, the horror continues for several more hours, until the house is set ablaze in the early afternoon. The subjects probably administering additional pain to the victim. That gap of time is, i want more, you can get more. Savvas and vera were beaten, stabbed and strangles. Thats a very closein injury. Its not like a gunshot where you could shoot a gun from a distance. This strangulation, you have to be right in and at your victim. Theres a psychological overlay here to whats going on in that home. Amy died from sharp force trauma, and 10yearold philip stabbed and burned beyond recognition. I think it became pretty clear to the First Responders that the child had been tortured. Multiple stab wounds. The son was engulfed in flame, to the point where the body was so charred that they couldnt even determine gender. First responders find the three adults in a bedroom upstairs, vera and amy bound in chairs, and savvas on the floor. The 10yearold was handled separately. Philip is discovered in his bedroom, alone. He was the bargaining chip, the threat was made against him while getting the adults to do whatever the perpetrator wanted. The unknown of, where is my son . I want to see my son, or what pain andsiving the son was going through at that time, its all in the mind of a killer. Clearly this is where the fire started. Philips bedroom where his body was found. Why do you think they started the fire there, which could easily be seen on the street . I think this is a mistake of a killer who is not particularly organized. A killer who thought that the use of an accelerant, gasoline presumably in this case, bite burn faster, it would burn hotter, and it would burn more completely. But the killers assumptions were wrong. This resulted in the potential discovery of much physical evidence that could be preserved, tested, people eliminated, people included in the suspect hunt. Coming up, an unexpected clue breaks the case wide open. That looks like the pivotal piece of evidence. Its back tmobiles most popular family plan.
