Sketches released in E. Texas church arson cases
TYLER, TX
Sketches of the "persons of interest" were released Friday by
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives officials. ATF
spokesman Tom Crowley told The Associated Press that authorities
want to interview them.
Nine fires at east Texas churches have been ruled arsons this
year, including two Monday northwest of Tyler. Tyler is 90 miles
east of Dallas.
ATF officials say another fire, in Temple, 120 miles south of
Dallas, also was arson.
The sketches depict two short-haired men -- one with a flame-like
tattoo on his neck, the other with an inverted cross on his left
forearm and elbow. A third man has longer hair.
