Charged for the slayings of a prominent ceo, his wife their young son and housekeeper. Allegedly torturing the 10yearold, killing all four of them before setting the house located in an upscale neighborhood on fire. New York Police Department did a fantastic job getting us Vital Information last night. Reporter u. S. Marshal Robert Fernandez says investigators worked for 48 hours straight first tracking wint all the way up to new york city wednesday night. Just barely missing him. Police believe wint saw himself identified on the news and took off. Investigators then located the suspect back in d. C. The following night at a Howard Johnsons hotel 20 miles north of the white house. When we were approaching we realized he was in a vehicle. They started going northbound on route 1. We followed them for about four or five miles. Reporter the task force including 20 vehicles and a county helicopter tailing two vehicles a sedan where wint was identified in the backseat and this small moving truck. Sources told cnn affiliate wjla a large amount of cash was found inside. Police arresting a total of four men and two women. Theyre the most amazing investigators ive ever seen. Its incredible what these guys are capable of doing. Reporter 46yearold Savvas Savopoulos was the president and ceo of american iron works, a multimillion dollar Building Materials manufacturer. Wint once worked for that same company and according to one source allegedly stole 40,000 that was delivered to the home before setting it ablaze. So now the question is whether any of those individuals who were taken into custody with daron wint had anything to do with the murder here at the house in upper northwest washington. Authorities still mum on that as they try to sort it all out. Back to you. Okay joe. Lets try to get some of those answers because joining us now is commander rob fernandez. He is with the u. S. Marshals. He helped capture daron wint late last night. Thank you so much for being on new day. You must be exhausted. We understand that you and your fellow agents have been working this for 48 hours straight. Yes. We started working it tuesday night once a suspect was identified. And we worked almost straight through for the last 48 hours until we had him in custody last night. So when many of us went to bed last night at about 8 00 p. M. The latest thinking was that he was in brooklyn new york. And in fact agents went there to the house where he was supposed to be and had learned that he had just left. Then what happened . Well we through investigation yesterday we determined that he was possibly in new york not yesterday. Im sorry. Wednesday. And we have a sister Regional Fugitive Task force up in new york where we sent the lead to. We had investigators there go to the location but he had just left. But they did a fantastic job. All that night, the next day getting information and passing that information to us where we were able to combine that with the investigations that we were doing down here to be able to track him to that location in college park. Right. So you tracked him to a Howard Johnson in College Park Maryland. And just as as i understand it the task force with about 20 vehicles is pulling into the parking lot, you spot him. And then what happens . Well we believed he was in the Howard Johnson. We werent sure where. We were formlating a plan to go locate which room he might have been in and then go into the room and take him down. As our advance teams were approaching the hotel they noticed two vehicles. And they suspected that he was in one of the vehicles. The vehicles then left the Howard Johnson and went up north of route 1. The rest of the teams that were there for the takedown joined in on the surveillance and we tailed the vehicles for about five miles before we finally took them down. And what was the takedown like . There were four other people he was with. What was that takedown like . Well it was a moving truck as you showed on that graphic. And there was a small sedan following the moving truck. We could tell that they were together. They were going northbound. They did sort of a strange uturn and we suspected that they may have thought they were being tailed. We were trying to get to a location where we could successfully take them down without putting anybody in danger. We also called the Prince Georges County maryland Police Department and they had a helicopter in the air in five minutes. Once we reached the location in d. C. Where we felt we could take them down then we did a vehicle pin maneuver on both vehicles and were able to arrest everyone. So who are these other people . Do you think that they were involved in the original crime . I dont know who they are. Thats up to the d. C. Police homicide detectives who are handling the investigation. Can we all we handle is the manhunt. Okay. Can we look at daron wints rap sheet for a second . There are some interesting things on here. In 2005 the family filed a restraining order. I believe his family filed a restraining order. 2006 Second Degree assault, 2009 Second Degree assault with fourth degree sex offense, 2009 Second Degree assault, 2010 charged with burglary and property destruction. Commander, youve been doing this for a long time. What kind of criminal murders a family and their housekeeper, tortures them tortures a 10yearold boy, stops long enough to eat some pizza at the crime scene and then sets the house on fire . Well i cant really comment on any of the specifics of the case. We dont really get involved in any part of the investigation as to the actual crime. But the allegations are heinous. And it really motivated and inspired our entire team who worked relentlessly to track him down. Yeah. We can imagine. Did he have cash on him . There have been reports that there was a bag of cash. The reports are that he took off with maybe 40,000 worth of cash from the crime scene. Did you find cash last night . We didnt do any search on the vehicles. All we did was stop them take them down arrest the individuals. And then the scene was turned over to the d. C. Police department and the homicide detectives and crime scene search was there. So i cant comment on anything that was located. I dont know. Well commander, it sure looks like great police work. I mean just figuring out exactly where he was and then everyone descending on him without more bloodshed. You and your team have to feel good this morning. Oh it was quite an investigation. It is a satisfaction to finally put hands on and get this guy in custody. I was im just in awe at the ability of the investigators on our task force. And were a Multiagency Task force. We have 40 just in the d. C. Area the capital area Regional Fugitive Task force has about 40 federal, state and local agencies that assign people fulltime. We have about 200 total members. So these are just some of the best investigators ive seen. Its just amazing to see them get all this information, all of the different techniques that we were using to be able to figure out where this individual could be predict what his next move was going to be. And then we have to put on the other hat. We take off the investigative half and we have to put on the tactical hat and be able to you know effect an arrest like this and do a successful vehicle pin without firing a shot without hurting anybody, without the public being in danger. Im just very proud to be part of this team. Just such great police work. Commander rob fernandez, go get some sleep. Thanks so much for being on new day. Thank you very much. Lets get to michaela. All right, alisyn. Senators may be cutting into their week long memorial day recess as they scramble to save key provisions of the patriot act set toics peer june 1. Showdown looms over competing surveillance proposals including one that would extend the nsas controversial bulk collection of phone data. Cnns chief Congressional Correspondent dana bash live as the clock counts down. Nothing like a deadline to get people talking. You know michaela the fact you say that is certainly note worthy because we have done this before when it comes to government funding, to keep the government open a potential shutdown a fiscal cliff. But when it comes to National Security a program that people on both sides of the aisle say is crucial to keeping this country safe this is as a level of dysfunction even i havent seen. I talked to a member of the Intelligence Committee in the senate angus kipg king and he said he was stunned. Frankly its disappointing to me. Here we are at the deadline. I guess the only excuse is which among us who among us did our book report before sunday night. This is serious stuff. Weve known about this deadline for years. And this should have been taken care of a long time ago. But here we are. So especially now when you have total republican control of Congress Republican leaders on both sides of the capital agree. They believe that this Surveillance Program is critical. So the obvious question is why are we here. And the answer is we talked about rand paul and his talkathon the day before yesterday. Its not just him on the republican side. The republicans as well as democrats are really split on the idea of whether or not these programs are appropriate whether they go too far into peoples Civil Liberties or even necessary. As rand paul says what if it expires . Oop, well just use the constitution to go ahead and deal with this. So the question is what now. The senate is all but sure to be in session tomorrow. And that is saturday. But theyre probably at this point sources say not even going to be able to pass a house bill. So they might just do a patch. So alisyn what does that mean . That means that the house, which is gone already for their memorial day recess will come back on that deadline day june 1st in order to if they dont get things together pass that patch the day of this deadline. And you have Law Enforcement officials saying that this is absolutely terrible for the program and it worries them a lot as you can imagine. Man, they sure like pushing it to the Eleventh Hour there at capitol hill. That seems to be a pattern. Were going to talk to senator john mccain about all this later in the program, dana. Thanks so much. Well, isis making advances taking over the last syriairaq Border Crossing controlled by syrian troops. They continue to advance around the syrian town of palmyra just days after they seized the key iraqi city of ramadi sparking a mass exodus of civilians. Cnns Senior International correspondent Nick Paton Walsh is live in beirut for us. What do we know this morning, nick . Reporter we mentioned that Border Crossing. Its key now that its in isiss hands because its very symbolic for them. Theyve always been about trying to break down the borders in the current middle east and now they seem to control all of that between syria and iraq. And dont recognize it really because they consider it to be part of what they declare as their caliphate. Another symbolic move for them. Residents in palmyra and syria, theyre bracing themselves for life under isis now. Gruesome pictures emerging of those loyal to the Syrian Regime beheaded some isis going doortodoor looking for others. It begs the question really now some saying isis holds half of syria are we seeing a dramatic return in their fortunes . Well in the past few months they have had to concede many losses. Now it seems in the last 72 hours theyre having victory after victory. I think to some degree thats always the information message theyre always trying to give out. Theyre moving forward, they have the momentum. It seems irreversibly the case at this stage. Back to you. Well look at this closer with some of our military experts. Nick, thanks so much for that. Back here at home a grand jury indicted Six Police Officers in the death of freddie gray. The list of charges evolving some charges have even been dropped. But all six officers, you see them on your screen they now face an Additional Charge of reckless endangerment. Officer goodson driving the van with gray in the back still faces the most severe charge of seconddegree depraved heart murder. New threats of retaliation after that biker shootout in texas, but this time police are said to be the target. Cnns alina following the latest. Reporter the Texas Department of Public Safety issued a warning saying certain bandyidos are now, the bulletin is pretty specific. It names some locations as possible targets including the mcclennan county jail here in waco as well as several cities throughout texas, el paso houston, austin just to name a few. It also warns of plots targeting high ranking Law Enforcement officials and their families possibly with car bombs. Now, this morning comes as the Law Enforcement community here in texas has already been on edge for days. Theyve been on alert. Theyve also been taking care of themselves to make sure they are protected. A spokesperson for the waco Police Department tells us that they are aware of this new threat. But they also would not elaborate on what if anything they are doing to protect themselves. Alisyn. Thanks so much alina. Lets turn to california now where crews are working around the clock to clean up from that massive crude oil spill near Santa Barbara. The epas investigating the spill, the company as well at the center of it. That company plains all american pipeline has a history of infractions.
