Summary

In Episode 5, host Cameron Jay asks Tara Baker’s family some of your listener questions. Did they conduct private investigations? Did they think this was the work of a serial killer? What was left from the fire on Fawn Drive? The Baker's help us better understand the questions you’ve been asking. We also speak to Thomas B. Sing Sr., “Tom”, President of Quest Fire Analysis (an arson investigations group), former law enforcement official, and former State of Texas Fire Marshall investigator. He helps us better understand what might have been done differently in 2001 when it comes to the fire, the arson investigation, and the preservation of evidence.

You had some really thought-provoking questions that I really couldn't move forward without addressing.

So after all, we are in this together, right?

Now, I contacted some of the Baker family the day before this episode released to get some of their feedback
