Mine is an unpopular opinion (though I don't understand why anyone wants to imagine that someone would intentionally set this otherwise ordinary young woman on fire.) JMO: The fire most likely started after she lost control of the car and crashed, or there was already a fuel leak that caused the fire and then the crash.
How many times have you read a headline saying "fiery crash?" They aren't common but they aren't all that rare either.
The ATF has a field office about 30 minutes away in Oxford, so I wouldn't read too much regarding intentional arson or murder into their involvement.
An arson investigation's purpose is to determine the cause and origin of a fire. It does not imply foul play or criminal conduct by anyone.
(Note: NHTSA would investigate if there was a suspected malfunction of the fuel system, it looks like. I wonder how long JC had the car and how well maintained it was. Isn't her father an auto mechanic? I'm sure he would have checked it out before it was bought.)
From all of the MSM articles I have read and after watching the presser, they are treating this as a homicide/arson. I believe they are pretty confident that someone was with JC in the car right before she was burned to death. I also think that if they thought this was an accident, they would be saying so. I have seen no indication that LE believes this was an accident.
