    Police Find Abandoned Van Matching That Of Arson Suspects
    Police Seek Public's Help In Finding Suspects

    SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. -- NBC4 has learned that a gray van matching the description of the one Southland police are looking for in the possible connection of arson in the Grand Prix fires has been found in the remote part of the high desert in Oak Hills, Calif.
    NBC4 also learned that there were no license plates on the van so it is unclear if the van was stolen.
    Authorities said the van was found abandoned with the front windshield smashed. Investigators will conduct tests on the van to see if it could be linked with the arson.
    As officials search for two possible suspects in one of the deadly California wildfires, the rage of residents is growing.
    Two men were seen leaving the area where the ravenous Old Fire began in San Bernardino County on Saturday. Two people have died as a result of that particular fire.
    As he watched flames lick closer to his home, school custodian Tom Rose said those who may be responsible deserve no better than a public lynching. Another victim said she may change her opposition to the death penalty. The sentiments are shared by many wildfire refugees at one evacuation center.
    A local chaplain said grief easily became rage when people found out arson could be behind the fire.
    Excerpts From Police Report Of Suspects
    On Saturday, Oct. 25, at about 9:15 a.m., a witness who was stopped in a turnout on state highway 18, observed a gray van, similar in description to a 2000 or 2001 Chevrolet Venture, parked along side the road on Old Waterman Canyon Road, less than a mile north of the San Bernardino City Limits.
    The witness saw one of the occupants throw something into the brush on the east side of the road, which started a brush fire. After making a U-turn, the suspects fled south on Old Waterman Canyon Road. The subsequent fire burned throughout Waterman Canyon and eventually into the City of San Bernardino where numerous structures were destroyed.
    The men are described as in their early 20s and white.
    As a result of the ensuing conflagration, two deaths were reported to the San Bernardino County Coroner's Office. Both victims are suspected of having suffered heart attacks, but autopsies will be conducted by the Coroner's Office to determine the exact cause of death. As these deaths occurred during the course of an arson, the suspects may face felony murder charges when apprehended.
    Sheriff's Homicide Investigators are currently seeking any information regarding the suspects responsible for this crime. Anyone who may have seen or knows the whereabouts of the suspects or their vehicle is urged to call the Sheriff's Major Crime Information Tip Line at (866) 346-7632. http://images.ibsys.com/2003/1028/2586905_200X150.jpg
