According to an email exchange I had with Nina, it was a direct interview and she said she saw the police report about the fire and the break in. I asked Nina if she would get back to me with some kind of proof of the interview and she was kind of annoyed that anyone would think she might have fabricated it. She never did...but frankly, I don't think she cared about any doubts that some anonymous guy wanted.
It remains the case that no corroborating evidence, source, report, news article etc. has been located. Nina's account at best is filled with hyperbole.
The hoops that need to be jumped through are impressive. According to Nina the house was badly damaged, it started with a scarf on a lamp, the cat died, a gold watch was stolen, it took three years to repair the house and she only thought of Rudi as the burglar after his picture and story were in the paper as a house burglar even though there actually were no house burglaries as the story was told until Hellmann.
So the damage was small enough to leave the scarf evidence but serious enough to take years to be habitable again. Nina said the house was "nearly destroyed" yet people here try to make it out that a scarf would survive. NEARLY DESTROYED! She then writes "the little house became habitable after three years of work" no mention of waiting for insurance or anything else of that nature - THREE YEARS OF WORK!
Another mistake in her book is she said the temp was in the mid forties P. 136 on Nov. 1st when in fact it was in the mid fifties. No big deal but she has much sloppiness in the book.

No journalist should be insulted when asked for sources. You were anonymous but no source only a defensive response.
