Send us a textPicking up where they left off in the last episode, hosts Sophia Champieux and Scott Kuhlman continue their discussion of the 73 Arson case with Fire Investigator Bill Strohm. Strohm details how the investigation expanded to include collaboration with federal agencies like the ATF and FBI, adding another layer of complexity to the already multi-jurisdictional case. The episode dives deeper into the challenges of tracking down an arsonist targeting a busy highway, especially when evidence suggests a potential connection to the first responder community.A quick note for listeners, throughout this episode we refer to the Behavioral Health Unit with the FBI. We misspoke, the correct term is FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU).
