They are now looking for someone else. He doesn't look anything like the arsonist, IMO. The arsonist looks more like Lionel Richie than <modsnip> . LE should make it clear that <modsnip> is NOT the person they are looking for.

Not sure if or how this arson is connected to the others, lost track because it seems like there have been many in recent years, imo, speculation.
