Interesting, Greg.

Could you provide links to any coverage along those lines? That’s a detail I hadn’t seen anything about.

In early news footage flames were not just coming out
of the cabin of the crashed van, they seemed to “jet” out.
At least one report indicated he had stopped at a gas station.
A fuel tank below a vehicle’s floor usually doesn’t make
massive jets shoot out of the cabin even in a bad wreck.
(It did not seem to be squashed like an accordian.)

I suspect he bought jerry cans of gas to immolate himself.

In most browsers pressing “Control” and “+” will enlarge text. (”Control” and “-” restores the view to the original.)

You can also press it multiple times (hold down “control” then hit “+++”) to enlarge further.

This is great work, BLC! Holt’s reaction gets curiouser and curiouser. More horror stories on international and what does the industry decide to harp on. A McDonald’s commercial which features talking french fries and a French parfait.

Another link to add to the pile- A Korean view of the Sueppel murders from Arrested Developments Eastern Iowa’s crime blog

Just wanted to add two more links; Deaths of Sueppel children add to adoption debate in Korea Which points up the historical importance of the murders-

"The deaths last week of Ethan, Seth, Mira and Eleanor Sueppel set an unfortunate milestone in Korean adoptions, officials at the family's adoption agency said — they were the first Korean children to die at the hands of an American adoptive parent."

and for the first time puts forwards the idea that the four kids may have been "siblings" which would contradict Holt's earlier claim that they each had separate mothers-

"However, several English-language South Korean newspapers ran an article Thursday by the Yonhap News Agency quoting an unnamed Holt Korea official as saying after-adoption reports showed the Sueppels "had no problems." The four children may have been siblings, according to the article."

Also, once again Holt cites the family's "religious beliefs" as being a core part of their qualifications as an adoptive family-

"The Sueppels were "well qualified" to adopt foreign children in terms of their finances, relationship and religious beliefs, the article said."

The article is for most part Holt covering its ass claiming ""confidentiality concerns." Clearly Holt can't even get its story straight on where the kids originally came from- 4 mothers or one. Also a quick mention of "Looking in at Iowa"- an Iowa local blog did a piece on the murders, and (surprisingly!) quoted a paragraph out of my blog entry. (Thanks!)
