According to court documents, investigators were able to develop a subject vehicle, a Subaru Crosstrek Blanche, in the Tesla dealer region around 11 p.m. Monday March 17 at State Line Road and W. 101st Street.
Detectives also used mobile phone records to place Mcintire in the region at the time of the incident.
The detectives were finally able to follow the vehicle and mobile phone at an address in Parkville, who returned to the family of Mcintire.
Documents indicate that although Mcintire is studying in a Massachusetts higher education institute, he was back in Kansas City at the time of Tesla’s incident during the spring holidays.
“ATF special agents and forensic experts have recovered and analyzed key evidence – in particular Molotov cocktails – used in this deliberate and dangerous incendiary attack,” said interim director Dan Driscoll of the alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives (ATF). “It was not vandalism – it was a violent criminal act. Thanks to the relentless work of ATF special agents, and our close coordination with the FBI and the local police, we now have a suspect in detention.”
