You affiant submits this affidavit in support of an application for a search warrant

Police Department by providing all information, facitities and technical assistance needed to

“TARGETED CELLPHONE”), between May 10°2015 through May 15, 2015, with service

data indicating the specific latitude and longitude of (or other precise location information
concerning) the TARGETED CELLPHONE (the “Requested Information”). In support of this
search warrant, your affiant states as follows:
1. On May 14, 2015, at approximate 1324 hours, DC Fire and
EMS were dispatched to 3201 Woodland Dr NW. Washington DC
for the report of a house fire. Upon arrival, Firefighters found
smoke and fire visible from a second floor window of a three story
residential home. Firefighters forced entry into the residences’
front door and began fire suppression. The fire was contained to a
second floor room and closet, with minor extension to an adjacent
bathroom,
2. While extinguishing the fire, firefighters found the charred
remains of a juvenile sized human being on a bed in the room
which was of fire. Due to the thermal damage of the body,
investigators are unable to determine the race or sex of the human
remains. The remains stayed on scene.
3. Additionally, an adult aged male, and two adult aged females were
found in an adjacent bedroom. All three of those adults appear to
have suffered trauma to their body. Two were removed from the
residence and found to have no signs of life and remained at the
scene. The second adult aged female was removed from the
residence and transported to Georgetown hospital were lifesaving
efforts failed.
4. The scene of the investigation is a three story, brick residential home
with a basement. This juvenile decedent was located in a bedroom
on the second floor, which sustained heavy fire damage. The
decedent is located on the charred remains/matress spring of a queen
aesized bed. The majority of the bed frame has been consumed by fire
and the floor under the bed sustained heavy fire damage and in some
area was totally consumed by fire. There is fire damage to all
furniture in the room and the charred remains of some furniture
features impress that some furniture was all or nearly all consumed
by fire. A strong odor consistent with that of gasoline is present in
the home. An accelerant K9 was introduced to the scene and
indicated the presence of an ignitable liquid on the stairs and in the
room in which the three adults were located. Several matches and a
matchbox were found at the top of the stairs.
. Although, no formal identifications have been made at this time, an
investigation has revealed that the home is normally occupied by,
Savvas Savopoulos, Amy Savopoulos and their ten year old son,
Philip Savopoulos. Furthermore, the residents employ a female
housekeeper who was last seen and known to be at work at 3201
‘Woodland Drive on Wednesday, May 13, 2015.
Members of the Major Crimes/Cold Case Homicide Unit conducted
an investigation into this offense and interviewed a person identified
as Jordan Wallace 03/28/1987. Mr. Wallace stated he is an
employee of Mr. Savopoulos whose job consisted of transporting
Mr. Savopoulos to and from work and handling daily assignments
given to him by Mr. Savopoulos.
. Wallace stated he received a call from Mr. Savopoulos on Thursday
morning, May 14, 2016 and was directed to report to the office in
Hyattsville, Maryland to pick up a package and return the package
to Mr. Savopoulos. Wallace stated he responded to the Hyattsville
office and met Mr. Savopoulos’s accountant .He and the accountant
responded to the Bank of America located in Hyattsville, Md.
‘Wallace and the accountant walked into the bank at which time
‘Wallace watched the accountant enter into a transaction with the
bank manager. At the end of the transaction Wallace witnessed the
bank manager give the accountant a manila envelope which
contained currency. Wallace stated the accountant gave
him(Wallace) the envelope and Wallace drove to $201 Woodland
Drive NW. When Wallace was ten minutes away from Mr.
Savolopulos home he(Wallace) called Mr. Savolopulos on the phone
and informed him he was nearby and had the package. Wallace
stated that Mr. Savopoulos instructed him(Wallace) to place the
Ssmoney on the seat of his red car which was parked in the garage.
Wallace stated when he arrived at 3201Woodland Drive he went
inside of the garage, located a key to unlock the door and placed the
envelope in the drivers seat. After placing the envelope in the
drivers seat Wallace locked the vehicle and exited the garage and
closed the door to same.
. As detectives continued to question Wallace, Wallace changed his
account of the events regarding how he received the package, where
he left the package and when he was told to get the package. When
‘Wallace was questioned about a text he(Wallace) received from Mr,
Savopoulos on Wednesday, May 18, 2015, Wallace changed his
story. The text was addressed to Wallace and it directed him to
meet the accountant on Thursday morning in Hyattsville to pick up
the package. Wallace admitted that information was true and he
made a mistake about when he was told to get the package. Wallace
was also questioned about what the money was placed in when he
(Wallace) received it from the accountant. Wallace admitted that he
lied when he stated the money was in a manila envelope when
he(Wallace) received it from the accountant. Wallace stated what
actually happened was the accountant took four bundles of money
from his(the accountants) pocket and placed the money in a red bag
which belonged to Wallace. Wallace then drove to Mr. Savopoulos
house and called Mr. Savopoulos ten minutes before he(Wallace)
arrived at the home. Mr. Savopoulos told Wallace to leave the
money in the car inside the garage. Wallace stated, when he arrived
at Mr. Savopoulos garage he(Wallace) placed the money inside a
manila envelope that was in (Wallace's) car. After placing the money
in the envelope (Wallace) stated he placed the envelope in the
drivers seat of the car. Furthermore, Wallace admitted that he lied
when he stated that the vehicle was locked, Wallace stated the
vehicle was unlocked and that he left the envelope which contained
the money in the vehicle. Wallace stated that he was told by the
accountant that the package contained forty thousdand dollars in
cash.
During the course of the interview, MPD detectives requested that
Wallace give them his cellular telephone. That celluar telephone is
described as a Black Apple Iphone with a brown wooden case with a
IMEI number of 358369067991221 bearing telephone number 443-
852-3299. During the interview, Wallace showed the detectives a
—_[scone 14
number of text messages and incoming and outgoing calls with Mr.
Savopoulos.
10. Detectives interviewed a witness which stated IT received a text
from Wallace on Thursday, May 14, 2015. The witness opened the
text for detectives to view. The text contained dialogue and photos
ofa red lined bag with what appeared to be two bundles of cash, one
of which had visibly displayed, a white money wrap band. The
accountant that was interviewed stated the money IT withdrew
from Bank of America was wrapped in money warappers from the
bank and the money was seperated in four bundles that totaled forty
thousand dollars. A visual inspection was conducted of the red
sports car that was parked inside of the garage of $201 Woodland
Drive; there was no visible traces of a manila envelope, loose cash or
any other items on the front seat or floor of the vehicle.
Wherefore, you affiant requests this Court issue a search warrant directing
AT&T to assist members of the United States Secret Service and Metropolitan
Police Department by providing all information, facilities and technical assistance
needed to ascertain the physical location of the cellular telephone assigned call
number 443-852-3299 (the “TARGETED CELLPHONE”), between May 10,2015
