From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
A 58-year-old Haltom City man who was taken in by his twin sister has been identified as a suspect in her stabbing death, according to police and former classmates and friends of the siblings.
Dena Wright, formerly Dena Conditt, had been living with her twin brother, David Conditt, after he was homeless for a bit and she agreed to take him in, friends said. The friends said he has bipolar disorder.
Sgt. Eric Peters, a Haltom City police spokesman, said officers found Wright, 58, with multiple stab wounds around 6:30 a.m. Thursday after they responded to her home in the 5700 block of Macneill Drive. Police were searching for her brother, who they believe left in her red 2015 Toyota RAV4 with the Texas license plate GMJ2896. Police have issued a warrant for his arrest on a charge of murder.
Keli Stallings, a 56-year-old former classmate of Wright’s at Haltom City High School, said she just saw her Monday night during a dinner with mutual friends. Wright told them for the first time how bad it had gotten with her troubled brother, who would often fight with her, as well as not take care of himself or bathe, Stallings said.
Friends suggested to Wright “a brand new idea,” that she seek out a support group, Stallings said.
“She’s really struggled with him, but she’s taken care of him, all of his life,” Stallings said. “It’s just really, really sad. I just can’t believe this.”
Ronda Guinn was in the same class as Stallings, two years apart from the Conditt twins, and also confirmed they had been living together. She was closer to David Conditt in high school, she said, but had lost touch.
“We’re shocked,” Guinn said. “We can’t believe this.”
Both Stallings and Guinn drove to Wright’s Macneill Drive home on Thursday afternoon as they processed the news. They found police officers clearing the scene, removing yellow police tape and packing up cars.
Peters, standing in front of the home, said around 12:40 p.m. Thursday the medical examiner had removed the body from the house and authorities were continuing their investigation.
Conditt was described by police as a 58-year-old man with blond hair and green eyes who’s roughly 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs around 240 pounds.
Anyone with information on the current location of Conditt or the Toyota is asked to call police at their dispatch number, 817-281-1000, or main department number, 817-222-7000.

Thoughts? I assume Conditt is still at large as of this posting date (August 19th, 2019) since there's been no updates that I can find since two days ago but if anyone has any updates they are always more than welcome to let us know.
I am in no way making excuses for Conditt for the horrific crime he allegedly committed against his twin sister but as a man with bipolar disorder he is probably in a mental state where he is a danger to both himself and others so it is important for police to locate him as quickly as possible.
