3. "I know what the motive was, boss. Arsony! "
That's an obscure reference I suppose.

18. Was the home occupied?
Maybe the present owner was playing insurance fraud. Hell, maybe the present owner was about to suffer foreclosure and took desperate measures. Is there linkage yet?

41. More......

Investigators had no suspects in the fire late Thursday, (Odessa Fire Marshal Detra) White said, and she expects the case to take some time because investigators have so much to consider. Arson is a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

The fire spread inside the home, damaging the green carpet inside the living room, the mid-20th century radio console near the door and the ceiling. Much of the porch roof is burned, and smoke damaged the ceilings throughout the home.

The Bush family photos in the northwest bedroom were not damaged.

The Bush family moved here in 1948 from New Haven, Conn. The house originally sat at 916 E. 17th St., before it was moved to be part of the Presidential Museum’s permanent exhibit. A representative of George H.W. Bush’s office said the president and Barbara are deeply saddened to hear about the fire, but they declined to be interviewed.
