Savopoulos DC Mansion Murders: ABC ’20/20′ To Interview Housekeeper Nelitza Gutierrez, Who Says Savvas Savopoulos’ Voicemail Saved Her Life

The Savopoulos D.C. mansion home invasion will be the focus of ABC’s next 20/20 episode. The episode, entitled “Mystery in the Mansion,” will detail the events leading up to the arson and murder of four people in a mansion located in the Northeast section of Washington D.C. One of the couple’s housekeepers, Nelitza Gutierrez, will speak with ABC 20/20 about how receiving an out-of-the-ordinary voice mail message saved her life.

The murder of businessman Savvas Savopoulos, along with his wife, child, and housekeeper, has dominated news headlines since the bodies were discovered. Police made the grizzly discovery in May 2015 when neighbors reported a blaze at the Savopoulos home.

When they arrived at the mansion located at 3201 Woodland Drive, they found the brick, multi-level mansion engulfed in flames. Once the fire was extinguished, they found the body of Vera Figueroa, the 57-year-old housekeeper in one room and 46-year-old Savvas and his 47-year-old wife, Amy, in another. In a third room, the body of 10-year-old Phillip Savopoulos was found.

Three of the bodies had been so badly burned that the gender of the bodies was not recognizable. A fourth victim was transferred to a local hospital and later pronounced dead. An autopsy report would confirm that Savvas Savopoulos had blunt-force trauma to the head, and his wife, Amy, suffered lacerations to the throat and head. The coroner’s report also revealed that the youngest victim, Phillip, was stabbed and burned to death. ABC News reported that police and arson investigators believe that the fire was ignited in the young boy’s room.

The other housekeeper, Nelitza Gutierrez, was supposed to be there that day. She was the main housekeeper for the family and had been with them for two decades. But on the night before the horrific killings, she received a voice mail message from Mr. Savopoulos telling her that his wife was not feeling well and that Vera, the other housekeeper, would be staying over.

The next day, Nelitza Gutierrez called Vera Figueroa several times to get the back story on that strange voicemail. Sadly, Gutierrez later learned that all four individuals died tragically in the home during a home invasion.

Police tracked down a suspect, who was later identified as Daron Dylon Wint, a man from Guyana who had only been living in the U.S. for the last 13 years. Daron Wint once worked at American Iron Works, a company owned by Savvas Savopoulos. Wint left the company in 2005 after a series of problems caused by his poor attitude, according to his work record. The Inquisitr reported earlier this month that police were led to Wint after his DNA was found on a pizza crust that was connected to the home.

Investigators are also looking at Savvas Savopoulos’ right-hand man, Jordan Wallace, the chauffeur and assistant to Savopoulos. Wallace told police that he had dropped off $40,000 to the Savopoulos mansion on the day of the murders. But investigators have found many inconsistencies in his statements. Thus far, law enforcement investigators have not revealed the connection between Jordan Wallace and Daron Wint. The Savopoulos’ two teen daughters were in boarding school at the time of the attacks.
