Truth was, the entire home felt violated.
Tara's collection of memories, photos of all those people she loved, were charred, almost lost in the ruin.
And when investigators saw melted fabric on the kitchen burners, they knew exactly how the killer started the fire.
I mean, that detail is just so chilling to me because blankets are just, they're comforting.

We weren't college students anymore.
Wayne Ford has been a reporter for the Athens Banner-Herald since 1982.
And those previous fires were within a stone's throw of Tara's home.
A few weeks earlier, two of those buildings were on fire.

Whether it be at the law school or at work or, you know, in her personal life.
