Its not a stretch to consider that the reason for the accelerant and subsequent fire could have had as much to do with destroying evidence as it did the murder itself. I can't quite buy into the notion that the fire was strictly the chosen method used to commit murder for the sake of murder, there's much more efficient ways to have done it.
A bludgeoning or knifing or strangling in the dark would pose less risks for the offender than to set a vehicle and its occupant alight on the side of the road, a ten minute walk from the center of town. Lighting the fire within eyesight of any passing vehicle was a risk the offender chose to take. Was the murder so she wouldn't tell and the fire so the forensics couldn't tell?
"They didn't find anything in the autopsy that they didn't expect to find" full stop.
Champion said they don't feel like this was a random act, one way to take this statement is that this wasn't a complete stranger that she came across that night. Whoever it was she was likely not very well acquainted with. If she truly "knew" the person, someone capable of such psychotic behavior, she wouldn't have been with this person. So maybe a person who she was barely familiar with and when the bad vibes did kick in it was too late.
The two main clues we have, and they've been there all along, are the fire itself and its location. Add to that a fairly narrow timeline and I'm hoping its just a matter of time.
I also wanted to associate myself with several of FindHG's recent posts and line of thought.
