3 persons of interest sought in Texas church fires

I’ve always wondered if every individual who has ever committed a criminal act actually convinces himself/herself that they’re not going to get caught. One has to be really, really stupid to believe that they acted flawlessly. This is especially true when multiple perpetrators are involved and/or when similar crimes are committed. Both of these factors appear to be at play here. TGO

TYLER, Texas – Federal arson investigators say they’re seeking three men in connection with 10 church fires in east and central Texas.

Sketches of the “persons of interest” were released Friday by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives officials. ATF spokesman Tom Crowley told The Associated Press that authorities want to interview them.

Nine fires at east Texas churches have been ruled arsons this year, including two Monday northwest of Tyler. Tyler is 90 miles east of Dallas.

ATF officials say another fire, in Temple, 120 miles south of Dallas, also was arson.

The sketches depict two short-haired men — one with a flame-like tattoo on his neck, the other with an inverted cross on his left forearm and elbow. A third man has longer hair.
