[Servant of the Cross]

Very good summarization. Where is Dan Turton in all of this? As you mention, he told the firemen that all the family was out. Say what? Neighbors heard and saw the fire in his garage but he didn't?

Imagine if this had been the top Hill aide to George W. Bush.

Imagine if this had been the top Hill aide to George W. Bush.

Or a guy like John Wheeler ?

Even if her husband believed she had taken a taxi to the airport, why wasn't he calling her? Wouldn't that be the first response most people would have?

Actually, my thought is that his first response would have been "Oh, crap, my wife's going to pitch a hissy fit, her Beemer's burning up! I'd better call her and tell her that the house and the kids are OK before she sees it on TV, she'll kill me!"

The first oddity is that he didn't seem to wonder where she was; the second was that he didn't seem to be in a hurry to notify her what was happening.
