Officials say the fire started behind a house in the cul-de-sac, then spread to two other houses and several palm trees. Fire investigators believe the fire started with an outdoor grill that was left unattended and then spread to a patio cover.

According to text messages detailed in the report, Leslie McGourty romanticized “being remembered” and said she hoped to start another #MeToo movement where woman feel empowered enough to become serial killers. McGourty’s threats were aimed at a May 19 concert.
