A pile of rubble still smokes after an arson fire this year.
Solving arsons in Detroit is no easy task.
Louis Aguilar of the Detroit News, as part of it's detailed series on fires, points to the 12 unsolved arson fires at artist Tyree Guyton's famous Heidelberg Project on the city's east side.
The News writes:
It's been nearly two years since fires began destroying artist Tyree Guyton's works, known as the Heidelberg Project, on Detroit's east side. For investigators, the multiple fires serve as high-profile reminders of how tough arson is to solve.
The fires, which all appear to have been intentionally set, have gained worldwide media attention. A bounty of $45,000 is being offered. And in the latest incident, a surveillance video captured someone in a black hoodie starting a Nov. 23 fire.
“The truth is, without a witness, arsons are hard cases to figure out.”
Despite the reward, press coverage and security cameras, arson officials reluctantly admit they are not close to an arrest in the 12 fires.
