Affidavit in Support of a Search Warrant
Requesting Location Data for Cellular Phone Number
202-497-5608
INTRODUCTION
1. The affiant is Detective Paul C, Regan, a swom officer of the Metropolitan Police
Department (MPD) in Washington, D.C. This affiant has been a member of the MPD for
approximately twenty years and is currently a Detective assigned to the Criminal Investigations
Division, Electronic Crimes Task Force-Technical Services Unit, Previous assignments include
the Homicide Branch, Seventh and Sixth District Detectives’ Unit, and Sixth District Patrol.
During my tenure, I have assisted with arrests of persons in violation of narcotics, firearms, and
violent crimes. I have received training in the following areas: basic investigative skills;
interview and interrogation, Homicide Investigations and am currently a certified instructor with
the Metropolitan Police Department. Throughout my tenure I have conducted numerous
criminal investigations, interviewed victims, witnesses, and suspects, and have seen criminal
cases through the judicial process.
2. I submit this affidavit in support of an application for a search warrant pursuant to
‘Superior Court Rule of Criminal Procedure 41, and 18 U.S.C. Sections 2703 and 3122, directing
AT&T to assist members of the United States Secret Service and Metropolitan Police
=>[sence 948
Department by providing all information, facilities and technical assistance needed to ascertain
the physical location of the cellular telephone assigned call number 202-497-5608 (the
“TARGETED CELLPHONE”), with service provided by AT&T the “TARGETED.
CELLPHONE PROVIDER’, including but not limited to data indicating the specific latitude and
longitude of (or other precise location information concerning) the TARGETED CELLPHONE
(the “Requested Information”), for a period of thirty days.
3. Tam familiar with the facts and circumstances of the investigation through my personal
participation; from discussions with other members of the United States Secret Service and
Metropolitan Police Department and other law enforcement officers; from my discussions with
witnesses involved in the investigation; and from my review of records and reports relating to the
investigation. Since this affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of securing a search
warrant authorizing the acquisition of the requested information, I have not included details of
every aspect of the investigation. Facts not set forth herein, or in the attached exhibits, are not
being relied on in reaching my conclusion that the requested warrant should be issued, Nor do I
request that this Court rely on any facts not set forth herein in reviewing this application.
4. Probable cause exists to believe that the requested information may lead to the location
and identification of an individual who participated in the offense detailed below, in violation of
District of Columbia Criminal Code.BACKGROUND OF THE INVESTIGATION
5. On May 14, 2015 at approximately 1324 hours, DC Fire and EMS were dispatched to
3201 Woodland Drive Northwest 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 residence's front door and began fire suppression. The
fire was contained to a second floor room and closet, with minor extension to an adjacent
bathroom. While extinguishing the fire, firefighters found the charred remains of a juvenile
sized human being on a bed in the room which was on fire. Due to the thermal damage of the
body, investigators were unable to determine the race or sex of the human remains. The remains
stayed on the scene, Additionally, an adult aged male and two adult aged females were found in
an adjacent bedroom. All three of those adults appeared to have suffered trauma to the 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 where lifesaving efforts failed. Autopsies of all four victims have been
conducted by the District of Columbia OCME and for all four decedent's the cause of death is
various traumatic injuries and the manner of death is homicide, All four victims have been
positively identified.
6.As the investigation progressed and the crime scene was searched it was learned that cellular
telephone with target number 202-497-5608, belonging to decedent Amy Savopoulos, was not
located. Your affiant believes that this cell phone was in the possession decedent Amy
Savopoulos at the time this offense was committed. Your affiant believes that the call detail
records and the cellular tower locations for the targeted cellular telephone will lead members of
the United States Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department to the location and
at
3identification of person(s) who took the cellular telephone during the commission of this offense.
‘The undersigned further requests that this warrant, and any related documents be scaled
until further order of the Court, as disclosure of these materials at this time would
usly
jeopardize the ongoing investigation.
I swear that the statements made in the foregoing affidavit are true and correct to the best
of my knowledge.
