When I decided to leave this forum and not return until Dec 6th, the anniversary of Jessica's murder, I had forgotten about one piece of unfinished business (string #10, post 383):
In checking back tonight, I see Foxfire never responded. Not only that, but I can no longer find any posts by Foxfire though there are several by others containing quotes by same, so must assume they were all removed. For me, that only increases my suspicions that the "first" fire in Courtland on 12/6/14 had more significance than just a coincidence.
Sorry for overlooking and not responding to your comment, rbarber17. I do not have access to the NFIRS database. I was hoping that Therese Apel, or some other reporter would look into the first Courtland fire on 12/06/2014.
