Tonight, the Ladyville Police are investigating a fire in the Milpa area, which members of the family strongly believe was arson.
34 year-old Lorna Bardalez reported to police that around 11:40 she went outside her house. That's when she saw her cousin's home, which in the same yard, completely engulfed in flames.
The Fire Department arrived as soon as it could, but, by then, the plywood and zinc house was completely destroyed.
This afternoon, Lorna Bardalez spoke with us off-camera about the blaze, and here's what she told us:
According to Bardalez, there is an escalating dispute between members of her family which has been ongoing. One of the feuding family members used to live at that house, and that's why they believe that this fire was intentionally set.
