According to a claim made by officials on Wednesday (local time), a 2020 Northern California wildfire was intentionally set to try and cover up a murder. That blaze, dubbed the Markley Fire, ended up killing two other people – 64-year-old Leon Bone and 82-year-old Douglas Mai. As a result the man who is alleged to have started it, Victor Serriteno, will have two new murder charges filed against him. He’ll also be facing an arson charge. The fire was set near a dam. The burned body of Priscilla Castro was located in the same area. In September, Serriteno was arrested by Vacaville police. He was charged with Castro’s death.
