one of the women in the car with wint admitted she performed more than $10,000 in money orders after the murders. so far, investigators have recovered 30 of the $40,000 ransom. >> i would think the rest of that money went to wint spending it on a cab ride to new york, spending it on himself. >> for now, only wint is charged with the murders. the people traveling with him are all released from custody. we now learn more about darren wint. his green card was already in jeopardy when he was arrested in march for allegedly receiving stolen property. but immigration officials were never notified. >> if darren wint is arrested in march and i.c.e. never received those fingerprints until after he's arrested for the quadruple murders, it tells me there's a breakdown in the system somewhere. >> this time wint is going nowhere, held without bond in a

for him. in court, lawyers argued that the client could not have acted alone and raised questions about his assistant 28-year-old jordan wallace who delivered the money to the mansion as as the victims were held hostage inside. police say that wallace who had been working for savopolus for two months showed cash and six bundles inside of the red bag. but there were only four bundles. >> and where are the other two? >> reporter: and the court records show wallace' checkbook and passport and registration for one of savopolus' vehicles. >> i don't know about the passport? was he going to the flee? was he going to leave the country? escape?

drop. >> with all of the questions of the stories of the quadruple homicide and him being the delivery person, does the excitement and the risk of his involvement in that case play with his memory? is it all innocent? >> have you seen this before in other cases? >> sure, sure. it happens in high pressure cases, and certainly here, the pressure is on, because four people are dead. >> reporter: despite the suspicions, the police have not found any evidence implicating wallace in the murders, and they have not charged him on this case. cnn tried to get wallace' side of the story but neither he nor his pamly would comment. also been looking at wallace' cousin who was fired at a time when he left at the american

>> i am sure that silo would have have given everything away to save his family. >> reporter: and could someone have saved the family? >> you look for opportunities for someone to alert the police that something was not right at the house, and whether it is the housekeeper's husband, the other housekeeper waved off in an unusual way, the assistant, people at work? is this a story of opportunity lost?
