As covered in previous stories, the fire last Monday was reported to officials around 8:35 a.m. Morrisville Police arrived on scene with flames showing from a back window.

Zimmerman spoke with investigators without an attorney present, court records show.
Zimmerman during the interview, according to court records, admitted to being the woman in the video footage captured, saying she was looking for the person who lived there, alleging she lent them money and wanted the funds paid back.
Police say Zimmerman told them she entered the motor home, didn’t find the person she was looking for, went back to her vehicle, sat for a few minutes then went back into the motor home to “take some s**t or f**k things up” in retribution for not being paid.
