241. Burning Anger: Stanley Ford

We are heading to Akron, Ohio, specifically to the Sherbondy Hill neighborhood, where families are actively engaged in their lives and the upbringing of their children. This well-established neighborhood is home to a diverse group of middle-class families, ranging from elderly residents to brand-new parents. The quiet area was shocked when, on April 18, 2016, a deadly house fire killed two of the neighborhood's own citizens. Friends wonder how this could happen to such sweet and loving people. The fire was determined to be arson, but investigators could not determine who set the house on fire; the case went cold. Then the unthinkable happened. On Mother’s Day 2017, the arsonist struck again, but this time, the blaze would end up being the deadliest house fire in the city's history.
