Hello - thank for your reply!
It's a strange one isn't it. It's difficult to believe that his ex-wife - who was once supportive of Cameron and believed he was innocent - would suddenly believe he was guilty without having good reason to change her mind.
However, there has been some doubts cast on the truthfulness to her later claim that Cameron was guilty, which seem fairly significant:
• John Jackson - the man who actually prosecuted Willingham and believed he was guilty - pointed out that Stacy had given very different stories regarding what had happened, from the time the fire happened right up until Cameron's execution. He said it was hard to keep track of what she had/hadn't said, and her accounts became puzzling and unclear.
• Stacy's claim was that Cameron confessed to murder prior to his execution. He was executed in Feb 2004, and this same year Stacy Kuykendall told the Chicago Tribune that he never confessed. She also said the same thing again to The New Yorker in 2009 - he never confessed. If he had admitted to purposefully starting the fire in early 2004, why would you then go on to say he had not confessed, in multiple interviews since this date?
• There were inconsistencies in other statements given by Stacy Kuykendall at the time of the fire. For example, she told investigators there had been no argument prior to the fire taking place, and later on said they had argued the night before, as she had threatened him with divorce.
The above bullet points are not to say Stacy Kuykendall has lied, but it's interesting that there are very clearly two sides to this. I personally don't understand what motive she would have to lie and say he had confessed, but it makes this case all the more interesting and uncertain.
