Local news here in Nashville is now reporting that gasoline was found on the deceased body and remnants of clothing, and also witnesses are saying that they saw the car on fire before it crashed. The body was so badly burned that there were no arms or legs attached to the torso when found.

I can't think of any innocent explanation for gasoline being on the body and clothes, given the other facts.

This was a hit, pure and simple. Was she more complicit than she let on? She knew one of the men for years. She bought the car she was "driving" at the time from this Middle Eastern man. She told prosecutors that she had given him other licenses in the past. What else had she not told them/told them that meant she had to go? This is what is stumping me: why would a 50 yr old woman, low-level state employee be the target of a very thorough murder. The terror angle is a very tempting explanation.

Gas? Witnesses? I'd like to know when they saw the car--before leaving the road?

Remotely exploded gasoline device or molotov throw from a passing car?

I asked this on another thread, and got no answer- maybe I'll have better luck here.

Was Ms Smith a Muslim????? Seems to me that would be one of the FIRST things any competent investigator would want to know in this case.
