I didn't get a sense from the article how long it took police to apprehend the killer. I hope she is able to get therapy.
I believe it was a few hours. The house was set on fire, fire department arrived, found the bodies in the front foyer, brought them outside and determined almost immediately they were homicide victims and the authorities were able to piece together the 911 call re the girl and her living there and her not being there.
