Deputies found 29-year-old Ana Beatriz Santo Rodriguez outside a home near the 1000 block of Northwest 127th Path in the Tamiami area Friday, according to police detective Joseph Peguero Rivera. She was already dead.
The investigation conducted in the aftermath of the fire revealed the presence of an accelerant and that the home's gas line had been tampered with, enabling unrestricted flow of natural gas into the home's interior.
"I found our two grandsons, Hudson 18, and Asher 16, and our daughter Bailey, and our son-in-law Jeremy, dead laying in their beds...What I saw will haunt me the rest of my life."
Sources said the mayhem stemmed from a love triangle involving the two dead men and an unidentified 19-year-old woman. The woman allegedly broke up with the older man and was dating the younger man, sparking the jealous outburst.
