Under the gaze of investigators, Katherine Smith's Acura rests at the FBI office. Arson caused the blazing wreck, officials believe.

Smith led low-impact life until arrest, fiery end

Mystery still shrouds her fiery death, and whether her fate was linked to a scam with violent, global implications.

But old acquaintances and state records obtained Thursday by The Commercial Appeal shed some light on driver's license examiner Katherine Smith.

Smith told investigators she and codefendant Khaled Odtllah were friends who met when she took her car to his Phillips 66 station, FBI agent J. Suzanne Nash testified Wednesday in a detention hearing for three of the codefendants.

The relationship was nothing more serious than their being friends, Nash added.

Smith was in the process of buying from Odtllah the 1992 Acura Legend in which she died. The car is still registered in Odtllah's name, Nash said.

Smith told the FBI agent that when Odtllah found out she was a driver's license examiner, he asked her if she could help get licenses for his "cousins."

After her arrest, Smith admitted helping Odtllah obtain driver's licenses six or seven times. Previously, the most severe reprimand Smith received in her state personnel file involved an accusation that she altered a document for an excused absence from work in 1990.

Thanks for posting this. It sure answers one of my questions in a reply in this thread.

It is obvious that Mrs Smith was a friend of one of the murdering Islamics.

Thanks for the great find and post:

They killed their abettor while she was driving their ring leaders 1992 Acura!)

This should be a big warning to all who hate America and are willing to help obvious Islamic terrorists to operate in America. You could might just end up as one of the victims like the victims of 9/11 as Ms Smith did!
