The Day Before the Match: How County Permits Burned Eleven Buildings

Smoke hid a secret timestamp: a demolition bid filed the day before a fire was reported - not after, not the same morning - and that single entry would later link eleven fires, four convictions, and a scheme that ran for nearly a decade. Who filed bids before blazes and why did a county official's signature appear on pre-dated paperwork?

In this episode, we follow how a surveyor's photograph of a melted spiral notebook became Exhibit One, the county permit timestamps that unraveled a pattern, and the people whose routine lives intersected with a long-running arrangement; how did routine permits become evidence of arson and fraud?
