So his statement is our second clue.

As he was closing his store, he heard noises on the roof next door.

Like he could kind of tell they were like on the roof, but like over from his.

And then a series of popping sounds was heard.

When he looked outside, he actually could see smoke coming out of the front of the yogurt shop.

The smoke was so dense, it actually barreled into his store.

So he went to prop open his back door and try to get some fresh air in there.

And that's when he saw the back door of the yogurt shop was also partly open and there were flames inside.

Before he could even call for help, though, is when that officer drove through the alley behind the strip mall and called it in himself at 11.47 p.m.

As we know, the fire department arrived at 11.53 p.m.

So basically, his timeline suggested that the murders happened immediately before the fire started, likely as a cover-up.

But he wasn't the only witness.

There were a bunch of other accounts from actual customers that were inside the shop that night, which those statements are our third clue.

One of the statements we have was from a regular at the yogurt shop named Daryl Croft.

Daryl was actually a former police officer who ran his own security company.

The girls knew him as did Eliza's mom, who saw Daryl there when she visited Eliza at work that night.

He ordered at around 10 p.m., an hour before the store closed.

He had his security uniform on because a man in a military-style jacket asked him if he was a cop.

Then he let Daryl cut in line.

Daryl described the man as white, about six feet tall, mid to late 20s, with a medium build.
