Arson Attacks: Discussion
Dr. Shawna Coxon:
When I hear people say these cases are difficult to investigate it leaves the impression that the investigation is minimal. It is quite the opposite. The investigation is comprehensive, both technical as well as more traditional. That is why I gave the example specifically of the case where there have been in excess of 200 interviews. Each and every one of these cases is being investigated comprehensively and fully, and that will continue to be the case. While a number of arrests have been made, as I pointed out in my statement, I am confident that more will be forthcoming. It is a matter of timing. That kind of forensic analysis and comprehensive investigation takes time but it is happening.
