DeDee said:the carefulness and knowledge of the homicidal arsonist(s). It was not their first time. The DA told us that. The blowback is why I felt a molotov or two was thrown for igniting
ATasteOfHoney posted the above quote over a year ago in January 10,2015. That question has haunted me;but recently DeeDee's posts brought it more in focus. Think about the quote from Ben Chambers in People that added 30 minutes to the burn time on Herron Road! Who better than CVFFCH had opportunity,training,confidence and professional gear to do a controlled burn?Someone who had a background in arsonist/insurance fraud i.e.fire investigation bureaucracy. Who else along with Sheriff Darby responsible for the narrative of crimescene TL. (My opinion only)
I join with ATasteOfHoney in asking:
Indeed,"who is comfortable around fire, iykwim???"

If gasoline was used (and due to the extensive burning of the car, inside and out, I really think it was) then it had to be someone experience with such use. To get that kind of complete burning, the car had to be doused inside and out, IMO. Gasoline is very volatile, and in confined spaces, downright explosive. Even with all the windows rolled down, partially vaporized gasoline in the passenger compartment would have made a very loud "whooshing" noise when ignited, might even have created enough instantaneous pressure to blow out both windshields. The killer(s) would have been battling two things: anxiety over being caught, and fear of becoming part of the conflagration. Any gasoline spilled on the perp(s) could have resulted in the perp(s) being ignited along with the car, from the blowback. And at that time of year especially, with the air cold and dry, a simple static electricity spark from a sleeve brushing across a metal door could have touched it off. So the dousing had to be done very carefully, or at least as carefully as time permitted, since a passing car at any point could have caught the criminal(s) in the act. It is even plausible that everything was ready to go at some point, but the perp(s) waited a few minutes to be sure any approaching car headlights passed by before igniting it.

JMO
<snip>similar MO in Courtland that mimics ... an accident scene that results in the brutal death of victim. I think it's there as Champion said the suspect has done this before!
Two men killed in Panola
killed in Panola County fire
May 30,2014
Both are volunteer firefighters and heard alarms on their radios(scanners) go off and rushed outside to help.
Without firefighting equipment at home, they were helpless.
All they could do was help console the two women Capwell saved.
“They was hollering and screaming, telling us to get them out of the house,” said Jon French.
“How did you feel? You know you can help put out fires,” said WREG’s Elise Preston.
“But, there was nothing to do it with. It was hard on me,” replied Jonathan French.
It also hard on many other volunteer firefighters who live nearby, the Courtland Volunteer Fire Department is offering counseling sessions for them this weekend.

Before,I get to my theory. I believe Champion gave us a big clue. The 'suspect' has done this same MO before. So,I suggest sleuthing anything that might suggest a similar MO in Courtland that mimics...
Is there a fire bug or arsonist or serial killer.
I am troubled by this question. Does anyone know of any more unsolved fires or arsons?
