Fire at St Catherine School Under Investigation | Santa Fe News

A fire at St. Catherine Indian School in Santa Fe, causing $3 million in damage, has led authorities to focus on 35-year-old Anthony Dault—found near the school covered in soot and unclothed. Evidence includes videos of him carrying a torch gun downtown and drone footage allegedly showing him near campus, but prosecutors won’t press charges without direct proof linking him to the fire’s ignition. Tests for accelerants came back negative, and experts say arson fueled by sexual arousal is extremely rare. Dault hasn’t spoken to investigators, and his history of homelessness and possible schizophrenia adds complexity. Police remain concerned about his behavior and potential to vanish if released, despite no formal charges yet. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
