John Orr: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

In order to set the fires, Orr used an incendiary device by using a sheet of paper and wrapping the paper around rubber bands, matches and a cigarette in order to make his way out before the fire broke out. He commonly started fires in fabric sections of stores, especially pillows thus earning the nickname The Pillow Pyro.

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 1991, Casey sent the evidence to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Head ATF Agent ~~Michael~~ 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. Even more shocking, ATF agents found a manuscript for a book he was writing titled ''Points of Origin'' which is based somewhat on the real fires he had started including the fire that he started in 1984. John even shot videos of the fires he started and took photos at the 1984 fire in order to relive the events in the same way serial killers relive the events by photographing their crime victims or activities.
