Could it be the vaunted military ID is supposedly brandished? It could be possible.
For instance:
I have my state issued ID (drivers license), my expired military ID, my current Federal ID, my other issued ID. That brings me to 4 total that I can strew across a wide area.....

I don't put a lot of faith in news agencies reporting on these situations. Everyone wants to be first to post the news and they don't always pay attention or care about accuracy. My guess is they just got a story, ran with it and didn't bother to fact check.
There is the possibility the guy was smart enough to plant multiple IDs to throw the police off the trail too. Find one at the airport and they're going to waste resources making sure he didn't hop on a flight.
The unburned wallet/ID doesn't actually bug me. I've been in a home that was completely burned (the second story collapsed) after it was made safe and was amazed how many random things survived when others didn't. Books were the strangest. The covers were screwed up but if you opened them the pages were fine save for the edges.
It's good to be vigilant and ask questions but I wouldn't automatically jump to the conclusion that everything was planted and that this news is somehow a smoking gun.
