Conn. fire victim had career as safety chief

A mother, her son-in-law and her three grandchildren perished in a fire while the daughter and a contractor escaped the deadly blaze in the newly purchased $1.7 million dollar home.

When do contractors spend the night and why was the wife not with her husband and children but with the contractor when the fire began?  Why would a seasoned security and safety person allow himself and his family to get trapped in a fire?  Why were reports on the cause of the fire no released before the house was razed? 

The last time I had some really intriquing questions about a fire, I conducted my own investigation and determined that the two women and the house quest were up all night partying on liquor and crack cocaine while the two boys slept in an upstairs bedroom.  When the adults finally laid down to sleep it was already past mid-morning and the two boys, aged two and three, were waking up.  One, probably hungry, when into one of the upstairs bedrooms to arouse the adult sleeping there and when he couldn't, took a cigarette lighter.  The two boys began to play with the lighter and started the fire which killed the three year old and badly burned the younger one.  The fire was ruled accidental by the investigators but I didn't see it that way. 

The lady whose lighter was used by the boys to start the fire was a prostitute who in later years moved to Greensboro, NC and is still living there and was recently released from prison.  She is still addicted to cocaine and working as a prostitute. 

No, I'm not going to investigate this fire but I do beleive there is a truth behind what happened that may never be told.
