Piringer said that it was only once the fire was out and heavy smoke dissipated that responders could see that there was a body inside the car. “............

Ok...this is the line that has bugged me PROFOUNDLY since this happened, was reported, and discussed here, last month.

Putting on my CSI cap...from the local of the garage to the back of the house, it is plausible that a neighbor (with a different vantage point) saw the flames first. That neighbor would have NO WAY (in theory) of knowing if the vehicle was occupied or not...but, once the Fire Department showed up...would ANYONE IN THAT ATTACHED HOUSE realize...is that Ashley’s car? Where is Ashley? And wouldn’t they IMMEDIATELY tell some first responder at the scene...my wife was supposed to be driving that car!!! So why the big, surprise, when the smoke literally cleared, that ‘there is a body inside the car.’

Was she supposed to leave by taxi (for the alleged flight? has the flight info been verified?). Was the WH aide husband supposed to take that car that day?

That is such an honest, stunned sounding statement by a Fire Department professional (who has probably seen many awful things) but was ‘surprised’ to find someone in the car.

Yep, it doesn't add up. Seems the vehicle was partially out of the garage and there was another car (looks like it was somewhat in her way) sitting in the driveway.

The back of the BMW doesn't look damaged, gas tank not exploded, windows don't look smoky. If she was backing up, how did she damage the radiator unless she was pulling back in to avoid the car in the driveway? If the workbench was at the rear of the garage, she would have had to make contact with it going forward, not in reverse.
