Police appear to believe this person is a former Witness, which is probably true. 

I'm assuming that the local brothers reviewed all of the judicial cases in that circuit. It seems reasonable the local bodies of elders would have identified him by now...

I am positive they did take a look at those, but I am not sure how an unidentified arsonist can be identified via judicial cases.

Since the security video with the man's picture on it was made public - all the judicial committees would have access to them and may recognize them

I wasn’t aware of that. Richard’s point makes sense now. 

 

Sorry brother Richard.

Even so, it could the the husband of a disfellowshipped wife, for example.  The connections could be many. Lots of possibilities for a direct ling to JWs.

Those photos are from the July event. I am sure that any useful information from them has long been in the hands of the authorities. 

The fact that they have some persons of interest would lead me to believe an arrest is in the offing.

If the brothers provide information that leads to an arrest or arrests, the reward could help toward building a new hall.😉

* Jason Chudy, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), said investigators have identified several persons of interests they would like to talk to about the arson. 

* The suspect would also have an interest in the investigation and could have an injury.

Nice to see some positive publicity come from these heart-breaking events.

The brothers in the area know of two apostates which match the description, and police have talked to at least one of them. Currently there is not enough evidence to link either of them. Last I was told, the branch is now the one communicating with police, rather than the local bodies, but I may be mistaken on that last point.

My simple £40 door-cam I bought would email stills and short videos  to me every time it detected movement. 

Sensitivity, video length, etc was adjustable, it just needed a WiFi connection. (Mine kept disconnecting.)
