Can you just imagine the vast number of fingerprints law enforcement would have collected from the door of a rural Alabama church?
Also, there was much mention of a boot print in evidence, it seems every article written on the fires covered it. Only an idiot arson would still own that footwear. Shoot, I would have traded trucks too.
These guys went from dumb to dumber.

"An ATF affidavit said Moseley told agents today that he, Cloyd and Debusk went to Bibb County in Cloyd's Toyota sport utility vehicle on February 2nd and set fire to five churches. According to the affidavite, a witness quoted Cloyd as saying Moseley did it "as a joke and it got out of hand."
The affidavit also said that Moseley told agents the four church fires in west Alabama were set "as a diversion to throw investigators off," an attempt that "obviously did not work."
Since they said it was a special tire thread, why on earth would someone order a special thread if they intended to commit such a crime. Unless they wanted to get caught...for a promotion of a liberal agenda? Tin foil hat on.
Actually, the key piece of Evidence was the tire track. Seems the Perp had a very expensive and rare style of tire on his SUV. The FBI identified the tire and then tracked it all the way to the point of sale in Shelby County.
Guess these tires are about as rare as Bruno Magli shoes at a murder scene.
