Did you know

• Despite undeniable proof provided by well-regarded scientists and experts - specifically Dr Hurst who is considered one of the foremost experts on arson in the world - Todd's ex-wife, Stacey (Willingham) Kuykendall, believes he is guilty of the murders of Amber, Karmon, and Kameron. As recently as 2018 she continues to deny the evidence and objects to her portrayal as a "villain" in this film.
