Workplace dispute likely preceded murder-suicide in Potomac, police say

Montgomery County police said they think an employee at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation who was accused of theft in the workplace killed a foundation executive’s wife in her Potomac home Tuesday.

Police said the worker, Andrew Racca, 42, committed suicide soon after and was found in a crashed Mercedes-Benz. Authorities said they think the victim is 57-year-old Carolyn Mattingly, whose husband, C. Richard Mattingly, is executive vice president of the foundation.

Racca had been called in by officials at the foundation Monday and was told they suspected him of theft, and that the police would be contacted, said Capt. Paul Starks, a police spokesman. Police said Racca did not show up for work Tuesday.

I think they are finding out now that the Man was caught stealing. I'm not sure if it was money or what. The husband confronted him about it and said he was going to contact the police.
