Episode 77 In this episode of Crime to Burn, we revisit the devastating fire at Greybeard's Tavern in Jacksonville, Florida, and the deeply flawed arson case that followed. Randal Wagoner, a local truck driver, was arrested and charged with both arson and murder after the fire claimed the life of Katherine Johnson. What first looked like an open-and-shut case unraveled. Investigators leaned on experts who couldn't back up their findings with scientific proof, relied on questionable witnesses, and overlooked other possible suspects. Was Katherine Johnson's death really a murder — or a tragic accident miscast as a crime? We're bringing you all the shocking details of a case that collapsed under scrutiny, but not before Wagoner spent three years behind bars awaiting trial.

He also shares upcoming features like polygons, boundary mapping, and turkey tracks to enhance scene documentation. Scott and Chasity highlight the value this tool brings to investigators at all levels—whether new to the field or seasoned experts—by consolidating critical data into one intuitive platform. With Echo Spectra's blend of technology and fire science, investigators now have a powerful, accessible way to streamline their work and elevate their reporting.This episode is a must-listen for anyone working in fire investigation, wildland fire response, or legal teams supporting fire cases.

[Video below] A 90-day burn ban has been declared for Wilson County, effective immediately. This follows more than 60 days without rain in some areas of the county, according to Emergency Management Coordinator Cindy Stafford. “The KDBI [drought index] is 581 and is raising about 5 points per day,” Stafford told commissioners Aug. 25. The drought index is used to determine fire potential and measures surface moisture on a scale of 0 to 800, where 800 represents the absolute driest of conditions. “It's bad,” said Pct. 4 Commissioner John “Scott” Akin. “A dry rain gauge is a dry rain gauge.”...Article Link

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 16, house arson is the featured crime. This is First Reports are Rarely Right by Larry M. KeetonDELIBERATIONDrake has a hot one on his hands and needs our help to put the pieces together on this arson case. (Then maybe Cassandra will keep hiring him.) Here are the people on his suspect list in the order we met them:Jack Phillips, owner of the house and disgruntled claimantCommissioner Donna Russell, the Hummer-driving road hogTeresa Kamps, HOA president who lives across from PhillipsRachel Quinn, the Fire Marshall recently promoted to Code ComplianceHere are the facts as Drake has unearthed them:Jack Phillips inherited his parents' home after their too early death. He blames HOA president Teresa Kamps for it. In retaliation, he's let the home run down, just to be an eye sore;On his visit to Phillips, who owns a 30-acre property, Drake was run off the road by a Hummer with a re-election sign on the door for Donna Russell;While interviewing Phillips, Drake sees a collection of pagers that Phillips says he uses to track delivery of restored cars to international buyers;The first report found cause of the house fire to be errant fireworks. Drake and Cassandra found inconsistencies between the original photos and what Drake finds on scene; Under protective sheets are untouched boxes and furniture Phillips is listing in his insurance claim;Phillips states recent maintenance was limited to spraying the roof to protect against moss. It was determined that zinc was used, which is highly flammable;HOA president Teresa Kamps had a 4th of July party that included Donna Russell. She denies setting fire to the house. She admits flying her drone but says she does not spy. There are opinions to the contrary.While Drake is inspecting, a second fire ignites from the baseboard heaters. Inspection after the fact uncovered batteries and melted plastic boxes and pager components in the heaters;Rachel Quinn was the original Fire Marshal on the case. She was also the woman on Phillips computer background. She was recently promoted to Code Compliance and her first action is to use a newly passed code to tear down the twice-burned house;Phillips and the county just negotiated the sale of the 30-acre property for $1.3 million dollars;Jack Phillips just wants what the insurance company owes him;Donna Russell is behind on her re-election bid and wants the HOA for their votes;Teresa Kamps wants the eye-sore gone from across the street;Rachel Quinn wants the promotion and to get Commissioner Russell off her back; andThe county Fire Marshal noted arson is the least prosecuted crimes and it was difficult to determine who had the most to gain.How should Drake re-write the report to get it right the second time?ABOUT True Crim House ArsonFrom my favorite source Wikipedia, comes the curated story of Thomas Sweatt.

Ken Johnson- 32 years of combination experience. Fire Chief of Lodi Fire Department in California. Before becoming Chief of Lodi Ken got his start with Stockton Fire Department where he served for 23 years. During that time Ken promoted through the ranks going all the way from Firefighter to Division Chief Of Training and finally Fire Marshal. The experiences Ken had coming up is second to none which truly in my opinion has shaped the way his mindset is when it comes to the job that can resonate with most Firefighters. Along the interview Ken dropped so many gems and nuggets that I truly hope the listeners can catch on to. One of my favorite quotes from Ken is this. “ I think when you look at making your career path, the path of the fireman you have to do a lot of self introflection and say do I have courage? Do I have courage to do things that are hard when they matter.”

Jeremy highlights the growing trend of year-round outdoor lighting and the importance of using appropriate lights rated for outdoor use. He advises listeners to check their holiday lights' conductors and wires, and to be wary of counterfeit products that might not meet safety standards. The discussion then shifts to space heaters, with Jeremy emphasizing the need to keep them three feet away from combustible materials, avoid using extension cords, and the importance of purchasing modern heaters with safety features like tip-over shut-offs. He explains the dangers of using electric ovens to heat homes and the risks associated with old or improperly maintained heating devices, such as kerosene heaters and outdated fireplaces. Janet and Jeremy also talk about the importance of carbon monoxide detectors, especially for homes using oil, gas, propane, or wood-burning heaters. They note how these detectors have become more affordable and accessible over the years. Towards the end of their discussion, Jeremy stresses the necessity of regular chimney inspections and cleanings to prevent dangerous buildups that could lead to fires. He also reminds listeners to use metal buckets for ash disposal and to be cautious with space heaters and other heating devices to avoid potential fire hazards. The episode wraps up with a reminder to check local regulations before burning anything outdoors, as some areas might impose burn bans during dry conditions.
