Breaking News (From October 20, 2009)

There have been 2 failed attempts to burn down the parsonage of the Juneau Church of Christ, where Bill and Amanda Williams, along with their 18 month old daughter Marie, live. After returning from a short trip, Mrs. Williams was putting the baby to bed. And then, as was routine, she reached down to turn on the ocean wave sound machine. When it did not turn on, she called in Mr. Williams to investigate the problem. What he found was the piece of evidence shown in the picture below. Half of the electrical cord attached to the adapter had become mysteriously disconnected, thus causing a faulty electrical connection to the sound machine. Mr. Williams described the adapter as "so hot it almost burned my hand off." The machine as well as the adapter was shortly taken from the home to be used as evidence at a later time.



Thinking that the adapter incident was an isolated occurrance, the Williams family went along with their lives. But, the next day another interesting event took place. While Mrs. Williams was at the local music store teaching piano lessons, Mr. Williams was cooking dinner. He had decided to cook fried chicken, knowing that his wife likes it and also knowing that chicken is one of the favorite foods of his daughter. He cooked the chicken on medium heat with an appropriate amount of oil. Just after he took the chicken up on a plate, he reached over to turn off the stove when it happened - something so surprising that even Mr. Williams was initially overcome with shock. He states, "The remaining oil in the pan spontaneously burst into flames!" Being the level-headed preacher that he is, he promptly put the fire out with an in-home fire extinguisher. There was no damage to the house, and no injuries to the occupants. Since no footage is available prior to or during the event, the aftermath of the almost-disaster is shown in the picture below.

After Mrs. Williams returned home, she saw what had happened and associated the two events as possibly being connected. That was when she realized that the adapter incident and the fried chicken fiasco could be related. That was when they called Juneau's Interesting Events Investigators to the scene.
