Two-Year Fire Investigation Leads to Indictment of Two West Tennessee Women
CAMDEN – An extensive investigation by special agent fire investigators with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation into a residential fire has resulted in the indictment of two West Tennessee women.
On October 2, 2019, the Chalk Level and Holladay Fire Departments responded to a house fire in the 1800 block of Douglas Drive in Holladay and requested the assistance of TBI. As predicated by original jurisdiction and at the request of 24th Judicial District Attorney General Matt Stowe, TBI began an investigation.
