The home at 151 River Park Lane in Great Falls, Virginia, was owned by a retired doctor and had a state-of-the-art security system. It burned to the ground one night in November 2015 and was a total loss. The insurance company was preparing to pay the claim. Then the Fire Marshal said the fire was not an accident. It was arson. In episode 19. The Arsonist of River Park Lane, I speak with Christina Fiscella.
