124. Up in Smoke: HOMICIDE

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss an unsolved case from 2008.It was a calm summer night in Kearney, Nebraska. Most people were winding down or already asleep. At the edge of town sat a small trailer where 21-year-old Kelcey Fike lived with her boyfriend. She’d recently started working night shifts, was getting used to a new routine, and talked often about her plans for the future. But in the early morning hours, smoke began to rise from the trailer park. Neighbors noticed the glow and called for help. Fire crews arrived within minutes to find Kelcey’s trailer on fire. At first, it seemed like a tragic accident — but as investigators looked closer, they realized something about this fire didn’t make sense.
