Serial Arson Suspect Arrested
The prime suspect in a string of fires across San Antonio is behind bars. 29-year-old Lorenzo Vera faces charges he set the fire that destroyed an elderly woman's home on south San Antonio. Investigators questioned Vera about a fire on Chavaneaux last weekend and in the process they say he admitted to using paper and matches to start the fire at home on Cavalier near Nogalitos on April 10, 2011. No one was hurt but the home was a total loss. Authorities think Vera could be behind several other fire dating back to 2009.
