It appears that Khaled Odtllah of Cordova shared the same 2840 Morning Lake Drive address at different times over the past year with Rocky Hammad, according to an online people finder database.

I ran all of the names through Google (I started with Yahoo). Both came up with just news articles except for one of the names which I assume to be too common (almost a John Smith). I didn't try "person" searches for email, phone numbers etc.

The only defense that these guys have is that they needed drivers' licenses for work (and yet all companies require a social security card). How many employers are going to give a NYC resident access to the company van when the only drivers' license they can show is a Tennessee license that they won't update to NY. If there's a traffic accident it will be difficult to explain an employee with an out of state license (we aren't talking a commuter address here, folks).

Some new details emerged from an article you linked License corruption not a problem despite Smith fraud case, state says

But J. Suzanne Nash, the FBI agent spearheading the probes into the alleged fraud and Smith's death, did provide some detail when she testified Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge J. Daniel Breen.

Nash said Smith lied several times when confronted the day she and her co-defendants were arrested. Here is what Nash said happened:

A co-worker noticed an upside-down clipboard on Smith's desk and gave it to the FBI agents who were already questioning Smith. The clipboard held the four license applications that are a key part of the government's fraud case.

Smith first told authorities she had authorized issuance of four licenses after the applicants gave her legitimate driver's licenses for other states.

When applicants for Tennessee licenses turn their out-of-state licenses over to examiners, they are all put in one basket to be destroyed later. FBI agents went immediately to the basket and found no licenses under any of the names on the applications Smith processed that day.

Smith then said she had administered the tests required to legitimately get a license. But there were no computer or paper records showing she had done that.

Investigators quickly verified that Smith had entered the information from the forms into state computer databases. The only things lacking were photographs and the issuance of the cards. That was only because the office's camera wasn't working.

This is 4 licenses for 3 men? Was one of them getting a "backup identity"? The other 2 men are charged in the coordination of the scheme.

BTTT!

Your#2)...PICTURE of car.

Looks like a few 'Stinger' rocket type fuel elements 'burned' the passenger areas.
Everybody in the car would die.
No body to tell any tales.

Nice picture.
