Rick Crawford, a former battalion chief for the Los Angeles Fire Department, tells "Elizabeth Vargas Reports" that Palisades Fire suspect Jonathan Rinderknecht's behavior resembles a firebug. "They like to watch their work. A lot of times they want to help put the fire out. They've had an interest in being a firefighter at some point," Crawford says. Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of California, agreed with Crawford's statements, also calling the case unusual.
