PITTSBURGH (AP)
Investigators say they have
solved a nearly 15-year-old
case in which a woman and her
friend allegedly set the family
dog on fire because the woman's
mother wouldn't get rid of it.
The dog, in turn, wound up setting
the house on fire, killing the woman's
two toddlers.
Cold-case detectives haven't said
exactly what broke the case against
the mother, 34-year-old Tequilla Newsome,
and her friend, 29-year-old Lachan Russell.
Russell was 15 at the time. Commander Maurita
Bryant says the detectives reinterviewed about
20 witnesses in the case and at least one
offered more details in recent weeks, after
becoming older, wiser and more religious.
The fire, around 2:30 in the morning of
July 11, 1990, killed two-year-old Montelle
Thornhill and three-year-old Charita
Thornhill.
