“You know, it’s kind of still nice to see some things, even if we can’t salvage them.” “Yeah.” “I hope this isn’t the last time I see my house. I grabbed my wedding album. I grabbed the kids’ baby books. I grabbed pet supplies. Put that in the cars, and within a few minutes, the power went out and it was, go now, go now. For my kids, it would mean anything for them to find anything, even if it’s broken-up stuff. My sister died almost 19 years ago now and I lost her ring. It’s the only thing that I have of hers, and I haven’t had a chance to go get a metal detector that can detect gold. But I have been told that you can find that sort of thing.” “This was my childhood home my family lived in for 18 years. My dad had actually just finished paying off the house — yeah, he worked, he worked really hard for that.” “About 5 p.m. this afternoon, we executed an arrest warrant and search warrant in the city of Spokane. And we took 37-year-old Aaron Farinacci, a convicted felon, into custody on a single charge of arson in the first degree.”
