CROWN POINT â A man charged in a deadly arson fire three years ago in Hammond testified Monday he was not happy about his failing marriage, but he would never have hurt his estranged wife, her boyfriend or the boyfriend s mother.
Ronald Gee, 45, of Berwyn, Illinois, said he parked his silver 2003 Ford Explorer behind his home on Chicago s South Side before going to sleep the night of the fire and saw it the in the same spot the next morning as he left in his work van.
Gee s estranged wife, Robin Gee, testified last week it was Gee who was seen in surveillance images driving their silver Explorer early April 14, 2018, before a fire at 19 Doty St. that killed 62-year-old Brenda Young Poole and injured Robin Gee and her boyfriend, Michael Young.
