Nine month after the crimes took place, now learning that only one person is being charged. Fox5s marina morocco live from the woodley park mansion with the details. Marina . Reporter laura, sarah, thats a development in because for a long time investigators insisted that darren wendt likely did not act alone there is indictment coming down just minutes ago here, and were learning hes now being charged with 20 felony charges, and i will read you the list, it includes litany of them including 41st degree murder charges, for the death of amy, philip, and including their house keeper, alicia figueroa, a but the charges also list in the this indictment are burglary, kidnapping, extortion, arson, and theft, all for the slayings that happened here at this woodley park mansion back in may. Now, all of this just coming down, were also learning that in the indictment, investigators say, went enters the home, seeds dollars and kidnapped those victims, stole 40,000 through means of extortion, murdered the victims, then set fire to the house, it was only once investigators responded to the call for the fire that they found all four this home brutally murdered. Now, because of those murders, considered to be haneous a tears and cruel, those four felony first degree murder charges also carry a specification of they call aggravating circumstances, because of that, the minimum sentence for those four murder charges are 30 years in prison. Now, if a jury finds darren went guilty of charges, then he could face a maximum of life in prison without the possibility of release on each of these charges. Again, a long list in this indictment, 20 total felony charges, a lot still coming through. We have to sift through this indictment. But his is all breaking news here from the woodley park home. I want to gave you a quick glimpse of this house. We havent seen it since back in may, tan remains fairly much as it did post the investigation, it has now been nine months since the murders, and youll see this door just tiled together by a padlock, pride on the top part. And the rest of the home remains boarded up. Still, there seems to be evidence and no changes to this house, on the interior as well as exterior, because you can still see the fire damage on this roof, just recently this house was sold. So this house is no longer part of evidence. The police turned it over, and it was sold to someeon who declined an interview, and since then, weve seen no changes to the houses, neighbors here wondering if this house will be raised, or if eventually it will be remodelled. But still a gruesome scene that happened here on woodland drive, now learning of the large indictment, 20 felony charges for darren went. Reporting live, fox5 local news. Quick question, im curious, is it possible that we still could see charges come down the line . Is that a possibility, beyond this indictment . Reporter that is a possibility. There is a period of time where potentially indict another person, but, laura, so far no one has even been named as part of the investigation, which leads us to believe that at this point, police and investigators have no one else, that theyre looking into. All right, i know you will take time to read through the indictment, well see more on fox5 news at 6 00 and 10 00 tonight. Thank you.
