Two cameras recording from different positions, one inside the small tiled elevator and another in a hallway, show the doors open and the man with the container approach. The man, who appeared to be in his 40s, first sprays the woman in the face, then douses her methodically from head to toe with what a city official said was an accelerant as she turned and cowered, raising her hands, the grocery bags hanging from her wrists.
Having cornered the woman in the elevator, the man struggles to light a barbecue lighter. He then ignites a Molotov cocktail � a wine or Champagne bottle filled with accelerant with a rag stuffed in its neck. He retreats and comes back again, spraying more liquid on his victim. And suddenly the silent video goes white with a conflagration in the small space: the woman, on fire. |
The pictures of the man in the article is pretty chilling. To think this guy is still out there.
What makes it even more disturbing is how methodical and prepared the man is. Maybe I've seen too many episodes of Criminal Minds, but to think that this guy spent hours planning out this attack, and then to stand there and enjoy watching the woman burn alive. Thats straight up evil. |

What a f'in sick coward.
Looks like they've got good footage of the guy so hopefully he's rounded up in short order. |

New York City police say a man charged with setting a woman on fire in an elevator was angry because she owed him $2,000 US.
Authorities say Jerome Isaac told them he set 73-year-old Deloris Gillespie ablaze because she owed him money for work he had done. Isaac, 47, faces murder and arson charges in her death.

I kind of suspected this might not be a random attack.
