Im a new member here but have been following this thread (and the one about Zebb Quinn) for a few days now
I live in Asheville NC, one of many transplants to this area. Ive been doing some digging of my own, much of which is in line w/ what has already been posted here. Here is some additional info not already in this thread at the time of my request to join the forum:
Re: the fire early A.M. at 8 Owens Cove Rd on 3/20/15:
At this news link
http://www.wspa.com/story/28569653/leicester-house-fire-on-same-road-as-murder-suspects-home a neighbor is quoted as saying: 7 On Your Side spoke to neighbor who told us that Owens grew up at this home and property tax records show that he owns the house. Neighbors say he lived in another house on the property and no one was living in the house that burned. The 8 Owens Cove property is right across the street from 1 Owens Cove, the residence of the alleged. Another news report states it is the home of his mother, which would make sense seeing as how he grew up in the house, yet property records do list JO as the current owner.
If it was arson, I think it makes more sense that an accomplice or un-implicated but worried relative torched the house than the theory that it was someone directing anger at Jason Owens by thinking they were burning down his house. After all, doesnt an accomplice or relative have more incentive to destroy possible evidence than a person angry about the Codds deaths? Someone angry about the Codds deaths would definitely want any evidence to be found and investigated, right? So it would be incredibly stupid for such a person to destroy possible evidence.

Social media developments:
I see from Facebook that Cristie Schoen has been deleted from the friends list of Jason Owens
This means someone NOT in jail has current access to Jason Owenss Facebook (possibly his wife?) and I surmise someone not in jail set fire to that 8 Owens Cove home (investigation is in progress to determine if it was an arson). Could this offer some explanation toward a possible accomplice, not only in this Cristie and JT Codd case, but also the Zebb Quinn case (as someone had to have sent the page from Zebb Quinns aunts house while she was away at dinner)? If it WAS an arson, and it occurred while Jason Owens is in jail, could this be what keep LE from successfully prosecuting JO? After all, JO could not be charged w/ the murder of Zebb Quinn b/c of the page that was sent from a location he could not have possibly been at based on video confirmation of his presence at a gas station w/ Zebb Quinn within that timeframe. LE has long suspected JO had an accomplice.
Also, one of the Owens relatives (a nephew or second cousin referred to in earlier posts here as EO) has deactivated his Facebook account. He had previously referred to his uncle/cousin in one of his posts as a monster
I would hate to be him if JO is ultimately released from jail.
Purely unsubstantiated scuttlebutt / gossip info:
Ive gathered from many of the comments on the WLOS Facebook postings
https://www.facebook.com/News13 that the Owens brothers (Robert Jason Owens has a brother whose name begins with an S) were considered by those who grew up w/ them to be psychos yet very clever and that the brother was regularly bullied and beaten up in school, and that it would not be surprising to think that he hates people just as much as his brother Jason Owens. Incidentally, the brothers name is also listed as an owner of the 8 Owens Cove property that burned this A.M., as shared by one of the Facebook commenters:

There are other mentions in social media of possible other victims, but I am not sure if it is appropriate to post a list of those speculations here.
and those who have only heard of asheville or perhaps visited probably have this vision of Asheville being this hip, accepting, culturally unique Mecca of the south. And it is all those things. But on the outskirts of Asheville in places like Leicester, Candler, Marshall, etc you have a different dynamic of folk. Remember learning about the white man coming to the new country and basically destroying the Native American life as they knew it? (I am simplifying that incredibly I know) some born and raised folk especially in those areas I mentioned (and others not mentioned) they see transplants as threatening their way of life. Most people who move to asheville feel like they are improving Asheville culture, but good ole boy families do not see it that way at all. And guess what? You can no longer afford to buy and live in Asheville so guess where those alternative thinking, earth loving, do gooders (I use that term as I cannot think of another way to express what good ole boys think)are moving to? Affordable and picturesque outskirt regions like Leicester where the majority of residents have always been families born and raised there. I don't know statistics and I could be wrong but I doubt a lot of people born in Leicester stray too far from home. From the beginning of this learning they lived in Leicester, I asked why on earth did this Hollywood couple choose of all places Leicester?and I know the answer to that is the affordability of the 27 acres and a house that sits in a picturesque location. But honestly a lot of people don't want them moving in and trying to change their environment. By all accounts the Codds wanted to make a difference, show the area a different way of living and they had the money to do so. Which brings me to the next element.
