An unindentified body
was found in a burned single wide mobile home in rural Oregon. Officials located the trailer and body south of Highway 58 in the Two Rivers North subdivision in Klamath County, Oregon.
The
remains of the deceased adult male have been tentatively identified but
his name and age are not being released pending confirmation with the

According to OSP Sergeant Mark Crisp, on September 28, 2010 at
approximately 12 noon firefighters from numerous surrounding agencies,
OSP troopers and U.S. Forest Service law enforcement personnel responded
to a reported fire at a single wide mobile home in the Two Rivers North
subdivision on Surveyor Road. The fire destroyed the residence where a
body was found inside.
This
is the kind of case where careful forensic work is needed and often
used to determine the type of instruments used in setting the blaze and
the crime scene itself documented for presentation as evidence.

Arson
crimes are far more frequent than the public knows. Annually there are
many cases documented, as those who commit murder and want to hide
their crime believe a fire will destroy the evidence. In 1979 in a
small English city called Hull, Bruce George Peter Lee
set fire to a house that killed three children in a spree that included
11 men in a retirement home and others along the way. He enjoyed not
just the fire but the killing as well and was finally caught.

Then
there are those who just enjoy the setting of fires. That's how
juveniles for a thrill or firefighters themselves get involved. When
killing is the object of the arson, it's a whole different matter, of
course.

2010
began with a story in Brooklyn of the death of five people from a
building fire labeled likely to have been arson. AP reported five people were
killed at the time in a three alarm blaze at 2033 86th Street broke out
at 2:30 a.m., with no suspect identified at the
time. There have been numerous
incidents reported across the country since, as it is a crime reported
often and said to be inexpensive enough to make killing easier to do and
to hide than other types of murder. Sometimes arson is used to cover
up some bizarre fact in either the killer or victim's life, like the
arson death of the owner of a bondage club that took place in
July.

But arsonists may think they can get away with the crime, but forensic investigation can often determine the key elements of the crime enough to solve it. Trained forensic
experts, despite killers' belief in their ability to elude
investigators, are often able to identify the method of arson used as a
way of finding the perpetrator of this type of crime and to determine
some of the specifics of it as it may relate to motive as well as
details of the killing. Forensic analyzes can be done through
laboratory work on the evidence itself. This can identify what is
called pour patterns, where the pouring of the accelerant used in the
fire was done. Forensic photographers can detail the information for
presentation to a jury through a series of pictures that include the
layout of the scene and the orientation of any injured or killed
individuals.
