Q.
And
what determination was made with |
|
|
2 |
respect
to whether it was an arson? |
|
|
|
3 |
A.
There
were a lot of agencies involved |
|
|
4 |
and
various determinations. I don’t think there was ever |
|
5 |
a
firm finding that it was the result of an arsonist. |
|
|
6 |
think
at one point the fire marshal’s office may have |
|
7 |
suggested
that and then changed their opinion. |
|
|
8 |
I
know for a fact that there was never a suspect |
|
9 |
developed
or a motive. The Cookeville Police Department |
|
10 |
did
extensive work on it and then as I said earlier, at |
|
11 |
the
request of the family, the T.B.I. came in to follow |
|
12 |
certain
leads that the family suggested might be viable |
|
13 |
that
were overlooked intentionally by the police |
|
|
14 |
department.
The T.B.I. investigated it. And there has |
|
15 |
never
been a finding by those agencies that it was an |
|
16 |
arson
or that it was a murder. |
|
|
|
17 |
Q.
So
with respect to the implication that |
|
|
18 |
the
killer has not been prosecuted, was there ever a |
|
19 |
suspect
identified? |
|
|
|
|
20 |
A.
There’s
never been a suspect |
|
|
|
21 |
identified. |
