Fire was arson, Sheriff reports

A fire that occurred at a trailer home that had been the scene of a murder-suicide a year ago has been judged a case of arson, and Oconee Sheriff Mike Crenshaw says his office is investigating, though no arrests just yet. The fire occurred near Seneca on the Steve Nix Road. And the woman who lost her life there nearly a year ago to homicide was referred to by Crenshaw today during the announcement that the fundraising goal to build the county’s first shelter had been met and exceeded.
