That driveway is flat. It is level with th road. She was backing out around a gold Toyota Camry (and a decorative fence) to get onto the street.
There have been dozens of photos released; and the local news account (video) of the morning of the fire. Anyone who saw any of that would know that the driveway is flat.
As cover stories go, this getting sloppier with each release (meaning wrap it up, make it go away). Warning salvo to others in the ‘know’ sent.
excerpt:
Ashley Turton’s friends described in Turton a person who had an appetite for possible gossip. In some cases, while discussing a juicy bit of political rumor, Ashley Turton would tell her friends, usually over a glass of wine, that “this conversation needs to go out on the porch.” Ashley Turton confided in a close friend that she wanted to leave Washington and return to North Carolina to raise her family.

Yes! Just efficiently killing off one problem of the regime only solves ONE problem. If you want a broader intimidation you really have to make things obvious...
I think you’re mistaken about the driveway being flat, or level. It appears to me that it’s sloped upward, with the garage being slightly higher in elevation than the road. Which makes it even more outrageous that the car rolled forward. It would have to stop moving backward, change direction, and roll up hill, in the opposite direction of the gear it was in.
