The Binge Crimes: The Arsonist Next Door

In the year 2000, an arson spree terrorized the city of Phoenix. Houses built along the edge of a beloved mountain preserve were being targeted. A group of radical God-fearing environmental vigilantes claimed responsibility and warned if the houses were rebuilt, they would strike again.

Reporter Sam Anderson investigates a story of fire and betrayal that would have world-changing consequences.
