Quick follow up: Police have caught the Eastern Shore arsonists. (Last month we told you about a couple of Realtors raising money for volunteer firefighters out there.)
Charles R. Smith III — a former volunteer firefighter himself — confessed to setting 52 fires in vacant and/or abandoned buildings up and down the Eastern Shore, and has said his fiancée, Tonya S. Bundick, had set an additional 15 fires. (Perhaps that’s now “ex-fiancée.”)
