Third House Fire Kills Lewis and Clark Parent, Places City on Lockdown

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2003

ST. LOUIS, MO—Another life has been taken in the third house fire in five days, following last week’s shooting at Lewis and Clark High School that police are now linking to the fires. Thursday evening, a day after Lewis and Clark freshman Benji Ndolo, 14, was laid to rest, a house fire at his residence in the 600 block of Conway Terrace in Midvale County took the life of his mother, Andricia Ndolo, 41. Police are still investigating whether there were other casualties in the home. Firefighters responded at 1:49 a.m. Friday morning to an extensive fire that burned the majority of the home, extinguishing the fire just after 2:30 a.m. Because of the recent house fires that claimed the lives of Jean and Arthur Black late Saturday night and those of Jonathan and Robin Trenway late Monday, all parents of slain teenagers at Lewis and Clark High School, police officials have brought in federal investigators to examine the cases’ connections not only to one another under the suspicion of arson, but to last week’s fatal shooting at the high school that resulted in the deaths of 35 teachers and students.

“I just spoke with Andricia earlier this afternoon,” said Karen Nussenbaum, a neighbor who watched from her lawn as officials fought the flames. “They just buried their son yesterday. She was doing okay, given the circumstances. I saw her as she checked her mailbox at the end of the driveway.”

Investigators are still searching for leads after the release of Eric Greeley, 16, brought in for questioning on Tuesday due to his connections to Lewis and Clark gunman Caleb Raynor. Firefighters and police officials will continue to search the debris from all three fires in search of clues and possible suspects. Residents of Midvale County and St. Louis city at large are asked to remain alert and report suspicious activity. A curfew of 6 p.m. will also go into effect until further notice due to the recent prevalence of suspicious activity past dusk. Residents of Midvale County are asked to venture from their homes during daytime hours only for necessary activities while police investigate these crimes.
