that some of the investigators believed existed was that paul camiolo was tired of caring for his infirms. >> fire investigators searched through the rubble and found something very suspicious. >> in the center of the room there was a pattern that looked like perhaps it might have been associated with a liquid pour, what they refer to, when someone may have poured an accelerant. >> to see if an accelerant was used investigators removed samples of the carpeting, the padding and the hardwood floor. the samples were sealed in paint cans to prevent any gases from escaping and sent to the forensic lab. gas chromatography can identify the molecular components of the samples, and the results showed there was evidence of gasoline on the wood floor. >> and the single biggest piece of evidence for them to conclude this was an arson fire was the finding of gasoline in the hardwood floor because how else would you explain gasoline in a living room? >> when the test results come back, it changes from i don't know to, wow, we have accelerant here, this must be an arson, and that changes people's opini
