Six Missing After Mansion Fire - Corsica Steding

At 3:30 AM Monday morning, about 80 firemen responded to a fire that broke out in a mansion in Annapolis, Maryland.  The owner of this 16,000-square-foot mansion is Don Pyle.  It's believed that Pyle was home with his wife and four grandchildren at the time of the fire.  Due to multiple factors, it will take days to put the fire out.  The house itself causes great difficulty due to the heavy materials that were used to construct it.  Three fourths of the building collapsed into the basement as well.  Even though there isn't concrete proof that the six family members are in the house, other family members have confirmed that they are unaccounted for.  The home is being treated as a crime scene until the cause of the fire is discovered.

Ray Sanchez wrote this article on January 20th for CNN.  Before reading this article, I had heard about the event on the news but was unaware of the details.  This article was written to inform people of the suspicious events that transpired at the mansion early Monday morning.  I sincerely hope that they locate the six missing family members and that the cause of the fire is identified as soon as possible.  It's very strange that such a fire broke out and burned that much of the home.  There's definitely plenty of reason to treat the burned-down home as a crime scene until they know more.

  1. I hope that officials are able to find the missing to allow other family members to finally get answers for such a tragic event.

  2. I hope they do, too. It does make me wonder how a 16,000 sq ft mansion can just burn to ashes out of nowhere... strange accidents do happen but I just hope this was not done on purpose.
