Relatives and friends of three Maine residents found dead inside the burning white Pontiac, told the Bangor Daily News the car was driven by an out-of-state man who comes to Maine on occasion, always in a rental car.

It's not clear if that man was the person spotted on surveillance video walking from the burning car several hours later.
