Thats why its all about that bass today friday, may 22, 2015. Announcer from nbc news this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Welcome to today on this friday morning. Now officially feels like summer. It does, we have our concert, speaking of all about that beat how about the bike ride. I feel really good. Good to be back. Good to see you guys. We have a big story to start with. That is this morning a suspect is in custody in that murder mystery in the Nations Capital weve been following the manhunt came to an end exactly a week after the bodies of a business man, his bif, son and their housekeeper were discovered in a burning home. Nbcs Peter Alexander has more on this. What can you tell us . Reporter matt, good morning. Those dramatic developments takings place in washington, d. C. , now in Police Custody the murder suspect darren dint, he was tracked down to new york and back to d. C. Two vehicles were impounded by Police Including a box truck that Law Enforcement Officials Say inside they found at least 10,000 cash. This morning the mastiff manhunt for firstdegree murder suspect Daron Dylon Wint is owe verks Police Taking wint into custody in this northeast washington neighborhood. Law enforcement sources tell nbc news that police followed a white chevy kruz and a box truck leaving a hotel outside washington. Officers pulling over the vehicle approaching with guns drawn and arresting wint without incident. Two other men and women were also arrested. Overnight investigators were combing through the chevy and the truck. Wints arrest capped a search from washington, d. C. To brooklyn, new york, where investigators believe wint traveled by bus before returning to d. C. Thursday. A Law Enforcement official tells our nbc station wnbc that Police Tracked wint to brooklyn using a phone found in his girlfriends possession when police interviewed her thursday. She told police wint was returning to d. C. Where police used separate phone records to track him down according to the official. The question remains this morning did wint target the savopoulos family allegedly beating and stabbing the adult victims. Police say he once worked for savopouloss business american iron works and our station reports one of wints relatives was fired. You believe there are multiple suspects or do you believe that wint was acting alone . We have not ruled out there are others but i cant comment beyond that. Reporter according to police records, wint was arrested outside american iron works with a twofoot long machete. Weapons charges were dropped after he pleaded guilty. Wint was charged with assault three times. And had three unrelated and separate protective orders issued against hit. Attorney thicker represented wint in previous cases a decade ago. I cant believe that he did it and i met him many, many times. I do not think hes the one. Reporter this morning this statement from the savopoulos family, were thankful to Law Enforcement who worked so dill gently to bring about an arrest in this case. While it does not abate our pain we hope it restores calm and security to our neighborhood and our city. Daron dylon wint expected back in court his First Court Appearance today. Peter alexander, thank you very much. Nbc news am list Clint Van Zandt a former fbi profiler, good morning to you. Hi, matt. Lets say hats off to the police on this. Absolutely. The circumstances here, the crimes this guy is accused of committing, the fact he had to be considered extremely dangerous. He knew he had been identified so that cliche he had nothing to lose, they did this quickly. They did this quickly and they had to. This guys history goes back as peter was telling us, hes got an extensive criminal history. This is the same person who his attorney said he wouldnt hurt a fly. He threatened to shoot his parents, he told a woman that he would stab her to death and her young child, saying that i know how to use a knife very well, im not afraid of the police. So, this is someone Law Enforcement had to get in custody as quick as they could. Now the question is, is there a second or even a third person involved . Other than interrogating this suspect how are police going about trying to figure that out . You know, one of the great things in this case was d. N. A. Weve heard it was from a pizza crust. If the you think of that crime scene you have four dead bodies in there, a fire going on, Fire Department pouring water in there. And yet, some good detective, atf agent was able to find that pizza box and say look, two pizzas, this guy probably didnt buy pizza for the people he is torturing. He got it for himself so they were able to find the dna, perhaps they have dna of a second suspect. They have to match it. Were looking at something that does not appear to be totally random because of this suspects history with this family, and the Company Owned by this family. Exactly. Weve got a history here of why he would have targeted this specific house, and neighborhood. I think that people who live in the vicinity have to take some solace that theres no one on the street like this guy still, but again, as the police chief suggested there still may be accomplices out there. This would have been a hard crime for one person to pull off. There may be more still to come. Clint, thanks. Credit to the police for bringing this manhunt to an end so quickly. Thank you. The weather is a big story down south. Parts of the region under water. Historic rains leading to major flooding, in texas and oklahoma and al, were talking about this all week. They are getting deluged. Its going through memorial day weekend, unfortunately. Look at some of this video thats come in from Corpus Christi, texas. Historic flooding, some areas in Corpus Christi picking up six inches of rain in a very short period of time like several hours. I37 was shut down for a while. Cars floating by the power of this water. And there is more on the way, unfortunately. Some guys of course, take advantage, a paddle boat and a beer not bad. You look right now, weve got fort smith, 13. 9 inches, dallas, 6. 9 inches, thats more than double what they would have. Corpus christi, 12. 7 inches for may. And it is not done yet. Of course, were going to continue to track this but weve got more heavy rain for memorial day weekend, other parts of the country not looking so bad. Thank you very much. Well get to your local forecast and holiday forecast in a couplements. Dylan is high above philadelphia keeping an eye on some of the 37 million americans expected to do traveling this weekend. Which by the way a 10year high. How is it looking . Its looking pretty good from up here. This is the way to beat the holiday traffic. Get a helicopter. If you are one of the millions of people traveling this weekend, brace yourself because its going to action extremely busy. Were above i95, the corridor here outside of philadelphia. Thanks to our nbc station wcau for sending us up in their chopper. This is a you video were going to see a lot of this weekend with 33 Million People expected to hit the roads. The reason for the increase is because of the decrease in gas prices, they are averaging around 2. 66 a gallon, a dollar cheaper than this time last year. And you can also blame the harsh winter.

Former defense secretary robert gates says the time has come for his organization to reconsider its ban on gay troop leaders. Pete williams has been following this story. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This message from scoutings president is blunt. If the boy scouts dont change the policy on gay scout leaders themselves, on their own terms, it will be forced on them in a way they wont like. The battle of the boy scouts. Reporter after a bruising battle two years ago led to ending the ban on admitting gay young people to the scouts robert gates the former defense secretary, president of the boy scouts, says the Organization Must now accept that Public Attitudes are changing even more quickly. He says the current policy that still bans gay scout leaders will not survive. We must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it would be. The status quo in our movements membership standard cannot be sustained. Reporter the Greater New York council is already defying the ban, last month hiring an openly gay eagle scout to be a summer camp leader. 15 years ago the Supreme Court upheld the scouts right to exclude an assistant scout master when he came out as gay. Now he says the scouts might lose a similar case and james dale agrees. Even if you dont exclude a young person they are suddenly not good enough, thats the wrong message for the boy scouts of america. Reporter gates says a change should respect the religious freedom of churches that sponsor 70 of local scout units. He oversaw the policy change on gays in the military when he was secretary of defense and that experience impresses some local scouting officials. This is not what we expected. But it leaders lead, bob gates is used to leading. This is not a guy who is used to sitting on the back seat and rubbing his hands and wondering what to do next. Reporter such a big change would have to be approved by a vote of the scout leadership, the Morman Church says it will carefully consider how such a change would affect its century Long Association with the boy scouts. Pete williams, thank you. Natalie is joining us with more on the oil spill in california.

Reporter it inspects the pipe every three years beyond what the federal government requires. The company now on the hook for cleanup costs. Where oil is spilled a company will have to pay money for the recovery of that oil, regardless of whether they took good care of the pipe line or not. Reporter crews recovered about 10,000 gallons of oily water. Weve got 5 to 6 foot swells, 20mileanhour winds, you can feel it on this boat rocking back and forth and that can slow down the cleanup. 17 boats are working to corral the oil slick with more booms arriving today.
