Governor's Mansion Video

By Lee Nichols, July 29, 2008, 12:55pm, Newsdesk

It may be about as helpful as fuzzy footage of Bigfoot, but the Department of Public Safety – after initially refusing to release it because of "ongoing investigation" status – have now released video (see below) from the Governor's Mansion the night of the fire. The first part of the video shows someone who may or may not be connected to the fire; the second is a quick, blurry image of what appears to be the arsonist running away from the burning front porch. If you think you can identify the individual(s) in the video, call 506-2849, 506-2861, 506-2862 or the Crime Stoppers toll-free hotline at 1-800-252-8477 or 1-800-252-TIPS.
