GRAYSVILLE, Tenn. – After several months of battling fires in abandoned homes, local authorities believe they are close to solving the mystery.
From late October through early January, several blazes were set in abandoned homes in Graysville.
“The fires were occurring about every other week from each other,” Detective Sean Shelton said. “I’m not sure really why they’ve stopped. I’d like to think that it’s because of our investigation.”
Local authorities are pretty sure the fires are related. They occurred at the same time of night on the same day of the week. All were started at the back of homes grown up with shrubbery, making it easy for the person to escape, Police Chief Thomas Mahoney said.
Several people have been questioned, he said, but no one has been arrested.
