In January of 2003, a call came into the Butts County 911 call center. A structure was on fire and someone was trapped inside. Firefighters and medical personnel were immediately on the scene. Found inside the shop was the charred remains of a body. Was the deceased a victim of an accidental fire? Caused by poor safety measures? Or were they a victim of something much more sinister? Listen as Melissa tells Daniel the ins and outs of this horrific case.
