A Suspicious Fire: Episode 440

Always True Crime
About this episode

The fire hit the residential street in Newcastle-under-Lyme at around 4am. Luckily, the main house was ok and it was just the garage that was destroyed. But then it was found that a body had been discovered in the garage - just who could it be and why were they in the garage of this house?
