Season 4: Episode 4: Burn the Bridge - Murders of Deanna Perry, Charles Climer, and Brianna Smith

Some people just have a good heart. Deanna Perry was one of those people that couldn't say no to anyone in need. If you needed a place to stay, Deanna's house is where you went. If you needed a warm meal or a new set of clothing, Deanna's house was the place to get it. In a community that had many people in need, Deanna and her family were that beacon of light in a dark world. Many people took them up on their generosity and someone took advantage of it. In the early morning of October 15, 2010, someone decided to Burn the Bridge she had opened to them. With the smell of gasoline and the banging of glass, the house was set a blaze. The flames spread quickly around the house and onto the front porch making it impossible to get out of the house. Charles Climer struggled to get upstairs to his grandmother, Deanna, and a small child by the name of Brianna Smith. As his lungs filled with smoke, he tried to escape the house to get help, but would later be found deceased from smoke inhilation. Deanna and young Brianna would not get out of the house. When the fire was extinguished they were found together in the upstairs bedroom. Who would want to kill such a wonderful family? Who would use fire to kill a young child? Could it have been someone who used Deanna's kind heart to get what they wanted, then became enraged when she asked then to leave? To this day the killer(s) are still on the loose. Hopefully, one day justice will be served.
