Just saw this on CBS Evening News. There's still an ongoing investigation but they had to put this out there. I call BULLSHIT.

"COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) State agents have so far found no evidence that a fire that destroyed a judges home on a South Carolina island was intentionally set, the states top law enforcement official said Monday."
"The investigation is still active and ongoing and agents will issue a report when they are finished and determine the cause, State Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel said in a statement.
At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set. SLED agents have preliminarily found there is no evidence to support a pre-fire explosion, Keel said,"

There are also gas water heaters, and gas stoves.
Let authorities investigate. If they're lying to us, how would we know, and they would have reasons for defusing implications.
