CrimeStoppers announce reward for information regarding double homicide/arson in Phenix City
An investigation by local and state officials continue days after a double homicide/arson occurred in Phenix City on Pine Lane. Now, Central Alabama Crimestoppers is offering a reward for any information about the case.
The investigation began on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, at approximately 5:08 am, when the Phenix City Police Department responded to 11 Pine Lane for a structure fire. First responders found a fully involved house fire.
Investigators later determined; two victims were located and found deceased inside the residence. Their identities have yet to be released. As the investigation continued, investigators say, “the fire is now an arson investigation and it appears both victims were victims of a double homicide prior to the fire. Investigators believe the fire was started to cover up the double homicide.”
Investigators say witnesses observed a black in-color truck and a white in-color compact SUV leave the area prior to the fire. The truck was owned by one of the deceased victims.
“The circumstances surrounding this ongoing homicide arson investigation remain under investigation,” Central Alabama Crimestoppers said.
