THE WORK JUST BEGINS.

"It's a serious, serious crime."
IF FIREFIGHTERS CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW A FIRE STARTED--
THE STATE FIRE MARSHALS STEP IN.
*SOT*
"Vehicle fire right here and then this top unit. You can see the black on the door."
HERE AT BIMINI GARDENS IN CAPE CORAL-- THE CAUSE IS NOW CLEAR, ARSON.
THREE SEPARATE ARSONS.
*SOT*
"We don't usually have this many in one spot in a short period of time."
INVESTIGATORS HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL-- ANALYZING BURN PATTERNS, SORTING THROUGH FORENSIC EVIDENCE, AND INTERVIEWING LEADS.
*SOT* anne standup
"Right now Cape Coral is the hot spot for arson investigations. Just fire marshals started a case at this home. It's one of 9 unsolved arsons in Cape Coral this year."
*TAKE GRAPHIC*
THEY'RE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE CITY--
FROM A CAR FIRE ON OLD BURNT STORE ROAD-- TO A HOUSE FIRE ON NORTHEAST 18TH PLACE.

Return to index of stories...
RON AMANN BOUGHT HIS HOUSE 11-YEARS AGO BECAUSE HE LIKED LIVING NEXT TO A GOLF COURSE.
You know your neighbors would play through and they'd wave to you and you'd talk to them it was nice.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED. INSTEAD OF LOOKING OUT AT THE 16TH GREEN - HE SEES OVERGROWN BRUSH.
It was a grand plan.
"PARADISE PRESERVE" PURCHASED THE LOCHMORE PROPERTY IN 2005. THEY PLANNED TO UPGRADE THE NEARBY MARINA WHICH IS THE ONLY PART OF THE PROPERTY STILL ACCESSIBLE.
They also planned to spend $22 million to revamp the golf course and build 3 26-story condominium buildings.
BUT PARADISE PRESERVE WENT INTO FORECLOSURE. OWING THE BANK *94-MILLION. TODAY WE LEARNED THAT ORIGINAL LENDER HAS GONE UNDER. THE COMPANY NOW HOLDING THE DEBT HIRED THIS MAN TO MANAGE THE PROPERTY.
There's a tremendous amount of frustration there's no doubt.
KEN CASKEY TOOK OVER IN JULY. HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF THE 90-ACRES WHILE THE LENDER TRIES TO FIND ANOTHER BUYER.
The bank took over, to my knowledge there wasn't a blade of grass cut in 2 and a half years.

NICE WEATHER AGAIN TOMORROW
Partly cloudy, mainly dry and mild weather will continue for southwest Florida on Wednesday. The pattern is still set up to bring us nice weather for a few more days. Overnight lows will be in the comfortable 60's and daytime highs will recover to 80 or better for much of the area. The only exception to 80 degree afternoon highs will be right along the water as the Gulf of Mexico water temperature keeps the beaches just a bit cooler than inland areas.
Again on Wednesday morning there may be a little fog to deal with but it should burn off quickly after sunrise. Rain chances stay very low again tomorrow.
In the long-range forecast we are expecting a low pressure area to form in the western Gulf of Mexico and move toward northern Florida this weekend. If this does happen, we could see a slightly better chance for showers by Saturday and Sunday. At this point in time this doesn't look like enough rain to mess up the whole weekend.

DETECTIVES SAY THE TEENS GOT IN BY SLIDING UNDER THE LOCKED GATE.
THEY REPORTEDLY WENT THROUGH SOME UNLOCKED CARS-
WALKED THROUGH DIFFERENT ROOMS-
AND THEN LEFT.
the second round however, was more vicious.
6 DAYS LATER-
THIS IS WHEN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS ONE OF THE TEENS STOLE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO BASH OUT CAR WINDOWS AND STEAL THE STUFF INSIDE.
HERE YOU CAN SEE HIM WALKING DOWN THE HALL WITH IT BEFORE DUMPING IT IN THE COMMUNITY POOL.
the third time was when they left enough evidence they were caught.
THE VERY NEXT DAY-
THE TEENS CATCH THE CAMERAS, TURNING THIS ONE AT THE GATE,
BEFORE MAKING THEIR WAY INTO INTO THE MEDIA ROOM.
detectives say it was when the teen tried to pull the tv out and steal it that he actually left behind a palm print. They were later able to determine it was his.
THAT BRINGS US TO TODAY.
THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS THEY WERE JUST ABLE TO MATCH THAT PRINT TO MATHEUS CARVALHO,
AFTER HE POPPED UP IN THE SYSTEM FROM A RECENT ARREST.
