Today’s announcement concerning the February 18th arrest of 32-year-old Andrew Isaac Griffin in Hawaii was the result of an everyday, 3.5-year investigation by Belmont County Chief Detective Ryan Allar, his staff, many other deputies, and state and federal agencies.
Griffin has been charged with two counts of aggravated murder in connection to the double homicide Thomas and Angela Strussion on September 21, 2021. Griffin and Thomas Strussion were business partners with the Salsa Café restaurant in the Elm Grove neighborhood of Wheeling.
As this morning’s press release stated, formal proceedings will occur before the Belmont County Grand Jury where the results of the non-stop investigation will be presented while seeking the appropriate indictment. When that process takes place has not yet been determined.
