Warehouse fire linked to Techler investigation

This is weird. On a lark, I check records at the courthouse and discover that the owner of Reichert's burned down warehouse on West Main is Vincent Techler. You know, the missing husband of Melissa McMahon Techler. Who was found dead in the home they shared in North Peoria. I haven't paid much attention to this, because I figure that the chairman of of the tractor company can pretty much buy justice for his daughter.
Police have been thinking that Techler absconded to Canada or Mexico with their two kids. And he's gotta be a suspect in her murder.
This is what I know:
  • Police really think the fire was lightning.
  • Several days after the fire, police were sifting through the ashes.
  • A black van showed up to make a pickup at the scene,m a week after the fire. I think the van belongs to the coroners office, although what the coroner's office needs with unmarked vans remains a mystery.
Normally loquacious police officers have shut up tighter than a clam on this case.
