Ashley's wish would sadly never come true because hours later at around 5 40 a.m local residents jack and diane bell were on their way to work when they noticed a huge fire in the vicinity of the freeman trailer it was obvious who the home belonged to because as they drove closer to the driveway they spotted the justice for shane banner in the front yard upon seeing the house in flames

Now from here, Lorene called her husband, Jay, to let him know what was going on. And immediately he came to pick her up so they could drive to the crime scene.

And from where the body was located, Lorene was almost positive that it was Kathy. But that meant that three people were still unaccounted for. Her daughter, Ashley Freeman, and Danny Freeman.
