The eighth art-festooned house at the world-renowned Heidelberg Project was destroyed Sunday morning in yet another suspicious fire.
The ATF and Detroit’s arson squad are investigating the fires after the sixth house was destroyed by an intentionally set blaze.
Fire tore through the house on Heidelberg Street after investigators believe the home was doused in gas.
“They are saying a lot to the public, but they haven’t been very cooperative,” a high-level fire official said.
Arsonists struck the Heidelberg Project at least 7 times since May.
A 14-hour manhunt for an inmate who stabbed a deputy in the neck and fled the scene in a stolen car ended late this evening.
Some residents also hurled insults at the owners of Ideal Market at Chene and Ferry, accusing them of burning down the store for insurance money.
