Well, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/woman-arrested-in-eastern-shore-va-arson\/2013\/04\/02\/88028618-9b93-11e2-9a79-eb5280c81c63_story.html\">Washington Post<\/a>, an arsonist was arrested in the area and the investigation is leaning towards tying the criminal to the other 80 fires.

The fire was discovered around 11:40 p.m. on Monday and was quickly extinguished.<\/p>\n<p>Bundick was charged with one felony count of arson and one felony count of conspiracy to commit arson in connection with the Melfa fire. Police are also interviewing a second person of interest, who has not been charged.<\/p>\n<p>There have been 77 blazes set in Accomack County since mid-November in what authorities have described as one of the worst serial arson cases in Virginia history. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, the special forces soldiers are skilled at completely hiding their identities, even becoming haggard-looking crack-addicted women.
