I'm trying to make a handy template of links, mostly FR threads, on this case. There are many, so I want to economize. Comments and suggestions on additions or editions of the below is welcomed here or by FreepMail. TY.

Thanks. Maybe underscoreJim can use these to enlighten us.

(does "underscore" mean you are less than 20?)

Look how intense that fire was........whoa!

What could burn that hot??

It might be good to create a LIST tag for this (I don't know how this is done). I've back searched some articles from Yahoo News and GoMemphis at times to verify if an article has been posted yet, most of the headlines are constent regardless of syndicate.

I've tried to create a good search term to add to the title (Smith Tennessee License Scandal) seems appropriate at this time since most of the headlines neglect these words altogether (making searching for old article difficult).

I'd be interested in seeing a timeline (which day arrested, released Sunday (when), last witness to see her alive (time), time witnesses saw the crash). This doesn't help us to solve much but can help us to damper down some speculation (we know that she was still alive in the car and that the car was moving at the time of the crash - it wasn't just positioned at the pole).

It's been awhile since I went to WND, but I've been checking Drudge daily and haven't seen him cover this case at all. I'm not seeing anything on WND today either and no commentaries about Tennessee's DL ID for illegals (which even Tennessee had an editorial against yesterday).

I see that NY Times is running the story (don't know about NY Post). Is this story getting national play (a name search on the people who were arrested primarily turned up recent articles about the arrest) and there were only about 5 or 6 papers running the story online (from that search).

Archy found the links for the Illinois CDL scandal and has linked them to the thread on this case. Click Here
