Lynchburg police still haven't confirmed the identity of a man found dead inside a burning car Sunday.. they DO know he was murdered before the car was set on fire.

[SUPER=03-Lynchburg/Sunday]
The man's body was discovered Sunday morning in a wooded area near Graves Mill Road.
An autopsy today revealed he died of a gunshot wound to the head.. police believe the car was then torched in an effort to cover the crime.
The vehicle was leased from a Boston rental car company.
Authorities hope dental records will tell them whether the man who rented the car is the same person who was killed.

That's the message the State Crime Commission heard today.

Keith, Virginia Beach state Senator Ken Stolle's the new chairman of the Crime Commission.
Today, he shared a fun fact: the longer you lock away a drug addict, the more likely he or she is to commit another drug crime upon release from prison.
That's the opposite of violent criminals.
So the inescapable conclusion for Senator Stolle is that Virginia police must concentrate more on the drug transportation networks-- NOT the street level players.

Another fun fact from the DEA: NAFTA has made interstate highway trafficking of drugs more prevalent-- which particularly hits Virginia because of our geographic position on the east coast.
[Double Boxes=Keith and Ellen/State Microwave]
KEITH question: So what might a crime commission study recommend?
ELLEN: Maybe that drug dealers maybe shouldn't be bonded out of jail before trial.
And if the organized distribution is the same statutory offense as street level distribution... police need more incentives to bust the big time dealers, since their crime stats show a certain level of drug enforcement no matter how big a drug dealer they've gone after.
