This episode discusses a fire incident involving a woman named Summer, who had a high blood alcohol level at the time of her death. Key topics include the timeline of events leading up to the fire, witness accounts, and the role of alcohol in the situation.

The conversation begins with details from March 19th, nearly two weeks after the fire. The main subject, Shawn, states he was on duty at the fire station that night and provides an alibi, mentioning he arrived home early the next morning.

Shawn recounts his activities, including grocery shopping for his crew. Other firefighters corroborate his timeline, confirming he was not present during the fire.

The episode raises questions about the circumstances surrounding the fire and the impact of Summer's alcohol consumption on the tragic event.

When they speak to him on March 19th, this is like nearly 2 weeks after the fire,
00:00:05
>> he tells them that obviously he wasn't at the house that night because he was
00:00:08
on duty at the fire station. >> He says he got there at like 6:00 in the morning, did some grocery shopping at
00:00:14
two local stores at around 8 so that he could make dinner for the crew that night, and he was there until he heard
00:00:20
the call come over the radio at around 9:00 p.m. And there are a couple subsequent interviews that they conduct
00:00:26
with other people on duty who all confirm this. Now, I don't know how in detail they get with him about his
00:00:32
family's lives or what could have contributed to the fire because all that is in this file is an investigator's
00:00:38
quick write up summarizing the conversations they had with him. But the investigator makes note of something
00:00:43
that I assume he thinks is important. Shawn tells him that Summer abused alcohol and was often intoxicated. So
00:00:52
maybe that's the contributing factor here, right? I mean, at the scene near Summer on the floor where she was found
00:00:58
in her room, they also found a mostly full bottle of Jack Daniels. [music] And then on the side table in her room,
00:01:04
there were a few soda cans, a styrofoam cup, a red solo cup. And if that wasn't the tip off that she'd been drinking,
00:01:11
the blood that they took from her when they first got her to the hospital was. Summer's blood alcohol level was one of
00:01:18
the probably highest I've ever seen in a case. 312 almost four times the legal limit.
