In 1987, Captain Marvin Casey of the Bakersfield, California Fire Department found an incendiary device at an arts and crafts store fire. Two years later in 1989, Casey found a similar looking device at a crafts supply store. During an arson investigator's conference in Fresno, Casey had a list of fifty five people who attended the conference. He asked for fingerprints of the people attending, but his request was ignored. The names of attendees then dropped down to ten. | In 1987, Captain Marvin Casey of the Bakersfield, California Fire Department found an incendiary device at an arts and crafts store fire.

The following year in 1990, John started a fire in the College Hills section above Glendale which took out multiple homes and acres. | |||
In 1991, Casey sent the evidence to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Head ATF Agent Mike Matassa headed the investigation. The fingerprint did not match any of the investigators who attended any of the conferences. However, a match was found when Casey obtained a copy of attendee fingerprints that were found in the Los Angeles Police Department's fingerprint database. | In 1991, Casey sent the evidence to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
