He loved bowling, and that's why we're calling this story The Last Strike.
When he came to bowling, he could bowl a perfect 300-score game.
And then one day, suddenly, he doesn't show up for work.
His wife, Nikki Ansell, calls the police.
And she tells dispatchers that her house is on fire.
She's worried that her husband is inside.
Eventually, as you mentioned, Chad's body is found in that burnt out house.
And Nikki starts telling people that they had a faulty furnace in the house.
So they bring in this dog, this canine, Webster, and he's part of the fire department's what they call the Accelerant Detection Unit.
And Webster has a keen sense of smell, as so many dogs do.
And he can detect all kinds of ignitable liquids, like 60 different kinds.
This dog, Webster, was also able to pinpoint investigators to a certain type of accelerant
that it was placed inside the house where Chad and Nikki lived to start the fire.
He found the source of that fire.
Yeah, it turns out the fire was started in two different places, in the bedroom and also in the basement.
The story pivots from there, from a story of sadness now to suspicion.
And the focus shifts from accidental fire to a homicide investigation.
