Did anyone else notice that this DC multiple-murder case seems just like a Pelecanos story?
Check out the latest headline, “D.C. Mansion Murder Suspect Is Innocent Because He Hates Pizza, Lawyer Says”:
Robin Flicker, a lawyer who has represented suspect Wint in the past but has not been officially hired as his defense attorney, says police are zeroing in on Wint because his DNA was found on pizza at the crime scene. The only problem, Flicker said is that Wint doesn’t like pizza.
“He doesn’t eat pizza,” Flicker told ABC News. “If he were hungry, he wouldn’t order pizza.”
When I saw the DC setting, the local businessman, the manhunt, and the horror/comic story of a pizza-ordering killer, I thought about Pelecanos immediately. And then I noticed that the victim’s family was Greek. Can’t get more Pelecanos than that.
I googled *pizza murder dc pelecanos* but I didn’t see any hits at all. I can’t figure that one out: surely someone would interview him for his thoughts on this one?
