Arson Trail | Kentucky Justice


you got two types of fires right
accidental scenery
sheriff lipfird gathers deputies Travis
Freeman and Danny Lewis to look into a
suspicious fire that ravaged a house
last night I still think we may have an
arson
first they’re joined by James Billings
from the Harlan County Fire Department
you got your gear your equipment let’s
go the sophisticated fire all right all
right let’s go Wayne town boys we’re
going to a community called wind town
but I grew up raised up here best people
the world my opinion when it comes to
arson it has devastated us here in this
part of the country we have one of the
highest arson rates in the state you
know used to in Harlan County you makes
my mad they just burn you out my family
is lost bad form arsonists when I was a
kid we’ve had two restaurants as people
have burnt down had a house and a
grocery store that was burnt down these
people that lived across from where the
fire happened said that facing this lady
running out of the house like a minute
before they’d seen the flames and says
she took off down the street
the sheriff’s team arrives on scene to
find out exactly where the place started
and why yeah there’s a Manor the sheriff
quickly locates what’s left of the
electricity meter a vital first step in
any arson investigation here open us up
a quick inspection will tell him if the
fire resulted from an accidental
electrical short
no it’s clean clean as it can be you
look for the burn in it and it’s no
working which tells you that there was
no electricity in the house that tells
us that what parsley Luke you got heavy
burn right here a trailer going right
out to watch the door it’s not logical
for the floor to be gone the manner in
which it’s gone there had to be
something there to make it burn hotter I
believe that get burnt hotter so if
there’s an accelerant that’s where it
was laying at right there yeah that’s
what it appears to us it was poured in
this direction all physical evidence and
all indicators indicate to us that it’s
it’s a suspicious fire it’s also more
likely an arson fire a fuel or something
and was pulled right there lay down or
figure out a motive that’s my job yeah
that’s your job here
