Two people were arrested in connection with a fire on Christmas Day in 2017, suspected of committing insurance fraud. Lindsay Anderson, 39, and Joseph Caillier, 39, were arrested for arson; burning to defraud an insurer; and burglary.
Court records indicate the 2017 fire was started in the basement of Anderson’s mother’s home near 14th and Browne. An investigation revealed that Anderson had lived in that basement at one point and had a renter’s policy for the basement.
The arrest documents claim Anderson and Caillier, who lived with Anderson, conspired to stage a burglary and burn the home for the insurance money.
Court records indicate they claimed more than $16,000 in property loss on things they said were lost in the basement.
