SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) Authorities are investigating a fire that destroyed a
Springfield home where a homicide was reported earlier this month.
The Springfield News-Leader reports 45-year-old David Edwards was found stabbed to death on Feb. 1st in the home where the blaze started Monday. No arrests have been announced in his death.
Springfield Fire Battalion Chief Brian Athen says no firefighters were hurt,
and a search of the home found no one inside. Athen says the fire likely started
somewhere on the second floor, though pinpointing the location was made
difficult because the house had been significantly damaged by a previous fire
several months ago.
The house was a total loss.
