I’ve been trying to find out more about this because the story doesn’t make any sense:

“he approached the sleeping woman, and then lit her on fire with what was believed to be a lighter. She added the victim’s clothes became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds.”

Clothing shouldn’t just be flammable like that without some kind of accelerant.

        They caught a guy, 3 days after after the killing in the surveillance state of a city that is NYC. And some compelling evidence they didn’t catch the killer but just some guy that might have been in a watch list.
