I spot areas for perp to hide within that perimeter.

I also thought we should note where the fire station is and police station.

If perp knew this they would most likely avoid Lancaster street.

Judging from the map Eli's place was bookended by police & fire departments. The FD likely would have been on scene with 5 minutes. However, the damage to the property looks extensive. As if an accelerant was used. The only reason I can think of why there was so much damage is that perhaps someone tampered with the smoke detectors, and maybe the home didn't meet fire safety standards.

Hmmmm, this counsellor and what happened aligns with some of our early theories in a workmate being enraged about possibly losing their career.

Yes. I wonder why the name of a person who was arrested for voyeurism isn’t published?

It’s confusing whether LD was giving lectures at WLU in 2025.

Looks like the dangerous sex offenfer was in jail

This was a one‑room unit with a separate bathroom, and in spaces that small, fires can reach full involvement extremely fast. All I could see he had was a bed, sofa, curtains which act like wicks, books, wood furniture. There were no interior doors aside from the bathroom to contain the fire. Try not to get ahead of yourself speculating about landlords or safety issues--that’s how defamation suits happen. We don’t have those facts, and investigators will determine the cause.

Article says "Dowler was an instructor at Wilfrid Laurier University's department of social work for this past school year, according to its website. A spokesperson said the university declined to comment on the investigation and Dowler is not currently teaching there."
