If true -- and it was not a hail mary was he finally freed himself (as some articles claim he was not restrained when found burned) -- then it leads one to wonder...what more did DW want JW to do...or to know?
Also one of my big questions all along. That's why I'm SO curious about whether call was missed, answered or a voicemail. After going back and forth, I don't think it was a text due to the wording in the search warrants and quotes by LE. That is just my belief but could be wrong, of course. What WOULD be the purpose of that call? I feel that if DW instructed SS to try for more money, then there would have been a conversation or a voicemail. I don't think SS would hang up the phone without leaving a message because he'd be trying to save the family/VF. He'd leave a VM in the hopes JW would call him back. IF anything WAS said by SS, it did not seem to impact JW's activities in any. At least from what we know.

After delivering the ransom money on the morning of the fire, police said, Wallace drove to Chantilly, Va., to help finish building a martial arts studio, and authorities confirmed his location by tracking his cellphone and with receipts and surveillance video from a Virginia hardware store he visited. Police said that Wallace received a call from someone at American Iron Works informing him that his bosss house was on fire and that he immediately drove to Woodland Drive.
It's not stated in this particular article, but after Lowes, I believe JW would have gone to the dojo and delivered the supplies he'd purchased. There's been nothing written anywhere that implies any other unusual things happened after the 11:54 call. I'd like to know what time the lawn crew was at the house. After getting the $40,000, I'd think DW wanted to get out of the house as soon as possible. It was becoming more and more likely that he'd be discovered after all that time in the house.
