Goodhue County Sheriff Still Investigating Fire Death
The Peterson house is nestled in woods to the north of the Country Club in Holden Township.
The Goodhue County Sheriff s Office news release says, Upon arrival, firefighters located human remains in a burnt vehicle parked outside of the residence. The Kenyon Fire Department was assisted by Wanamingo Fire Department in responding to the fire along with the Kenyon Police Department and Goodhue County Sheriff s Office.
The Goodhue County Sheriff s Office did not identify the exact address of the home or the homeowners. They did say the owners were accounted for.
I checked with a few people in Kenyon to confirm it was the Peterson house. I was told the vehicle did not belong to them or any of their family members. Barb and Jerry were in Arizona and have returned to Kenyon. All family members have been located.
