When they detect THE OBVIOUS PRESCENCE of gasoline?
C'mon ...
Yeah, right.
Maybe in the movies ...
This had to be something planted in the car.....under the backseat....or dashboard set off by remote control...
Geez ... NO!
It was RATHER OBVIOUS even to the FIRE FIGHTERS.
They observed the car fire before impact. They should be concerned about their well-being at this point in time and consider leaving the area for awhile.
Whoever did this is still loose (Middle Eastern terrorist, Dixie Mafia, etc.).
I think that it's obvious that Ms. Smith underestimated how dangerous the people she'd delt with were. This could be the work of a past client but so far Odtllah is the only client we know of (and he was still mediator in this transaction).
One of the men's lawyers suggested that Ms. Smith must have led a double life and that is what brought this about, not the current case she was about to testify on.
Don't ya think there would be REMAINS of something if that were the case?
That aspect is rather easy to put to rest.
CLEARLY null and void thinking ... NO!
That is normally INSUFFICIENT in to ignite a gas tank -
- I see you too willfully CHOOSE to ignore EXTREMELY OBVIOUS evidence of a torching ...
Nothing to see here, if you'd only not bother to look, move along...
She bought/was buying the car from Otondah(sp?).
Did she drive the car before early Sunday morning after getting out of jail? She was out for 1 week prior to the hit. What happened to the car during that time? Where was it parked? Who had access to it?
Did the ME guys have a tip that they were going to be arrested?
What did the neighbors of this woman's family (if any, I don't know how rural her family's house is) see on Saturday? Was the house/car unattended for some part of the day?
Or was the device already planted before he sold the car to her with a remote activation of some type already installed? Did the arrest simply force someone's hand? Was the hit pre-planned to get rid of her and the arrests are the only reason this wasn't classified as a regular accident? And, if this is so, does it mean that there are independent cells at work? In other words, the order to get rid of her may have come before they were arrested - could have been transmitted by one of the 5 in custody when they thought they would get the licenses with no way to recall the order once issued?
It was designed to be an arson/murder - to the trained eye and trained fire-fighters it OBVIOUSLY looks/looked that way too ...
You have all the answer's ....enlighten us..
Probably so. But Ms. Smith had to already be unconscious. She was doused with gasoline, remember, so that she couldn't have been driving. Thus, somebody else had to get the car started and moving.
AGAIN, there will be charred REMAINS of some 'device' ...
I guess you people don't "burn your own trash" anymore -
- or you'd have a better idea of WHAT is LEFT after an attempt at incineration ...
