4. it was pretty easy to catch her

every Sat night she set a fire in industrial area.

Pretty scary in DC...residential is not good! But posted to show..it could be a woman as well.

5. That's true...

Police have released a couple of sketches of a man who's been seen near a couple of the crime scenes, and a psychological profile; but this doesn't mean that they aren't dead wrong.

When the snipers were on their killing spree around here, everybody was looking for a middle-aged white guy in a white van...

8. The most recent victim is less than 2 blocks from

the police station and the firehouse. I can't help thinking the arsonist knew this, and planned the attack to deliberately taunt our public safety people. What a sicko!
