Arson Charges After Tenant Fire | Jefferson City News

A woman faces serious arson charges after a devastating fire broke out in her Jefferson City home on July 9th, with evidence pointing to deliberate ignition—despite her claims of electrical issues and no accelerant. Tensions had been mounting between Kroeger, a 57-year-old tenant, and her landlord over unpaid rent and looming eviction, with the landlord texting that evening to check on the property. Firefighters found two separate ignition points—one in the bedroom, another on the back porch—leading investigators to rule out accident. Arrested on July 20th and held without bond, Kroeger now confronts both first- and second-degree arson charges as the investigation continues.
