VIDEO: After a fast food restaurant was reduced to rubble, investigators are working to find out what caused the blast, but say these cases often take months to solve.
The explosion in Eden happened in a matter of seconds, and rocked the fast-food chain, turning it into nothing more than a pile of debris. Almost a week later, yellow tape and a chain-link fence now surround the rubble.
Several agencies are working to determine the cause and piece this puzzle together, including Eden Police, the ATF, and the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
"It's very difficult to determine what could've caused [an explosion]," explained Chief State Fire Marshal Brian Taylor.
"Especially with an explosion, a gas explosion - static electricity could have been the ignition source, it could be a compressor on a refrigerator, it could be many things."
