John P. Fleming investigated a claim involving a house fire at a home that the truck driver homeowner only lived in 2 days out of every month, and which the homeowner claimed he always intended to sell. The fire occurred when the truck driver was allegedly driving from Illinois to Texas, but it turned out that the truck driver admittedly tampered with his driving logs regarding locations and hours during the time of the fire. The truck drivers new “girlfriend” admittedly started the fire in a closet in the bedroom, during a day when she had extensive cell phone communication with the truck driver.
