Investigators probing the death of an innocent young Australian woman who died in a firebombing have released an image of a man they want to speak to, as detectives close in on her killers.
Katie Tangey, 27, was house-sitting for her brother when his Truganina home was engulfed in flames in the early hours of January 16.
Two men were seen getting out of a car moments before the house exploded and then quickly fled with what appeared to be a jerry can.
Tangey called emergency services from inside but she and the family's golden retriever died as the three-storey townhouse was destroyed.
Police believe it was a targeted attack linked to an ongoing war between criminal gangs over the profits of illegal tobacco. However, they say the offenders got the wrong address and Tangey was not involved.
Today, detectives released an image of a man they wished to speak to over the attack created by compiling enhanced CCTV footage.
He was described as Middle Eastern in appearance, between 25-30 years old, with a slim build.

The night of Tangey's death was the first time she had ever stayed away from home.
Anonymous tipsters have provided police with possible identities of those involved.
Detective Inspector Chris Murray asked anyone who recognised the man or had further information to come forward immediately.
"I cannot implore you enough to find it in yourself to do the right thing and come forward," he said.
"While we have been given information such as names, we believe these to be street names and not their formal identities."

The senior officer said it was one of the most tragic incidents he has seen in 38 years in the force and pointed out Tangey would have spent her final moments knowing she was about to die.
"It is an unimaginable horror I hope nobody else has to experience," Murray said.
"We know this is solvable, and we know we are getting closer.
"We know this because there are people out there who are talking and who are providing information."
Police have set up an information caravan in the local area in the hope of jogging residents' memories.
