A woman was able to escape, but a man was found deceased inside. He was identified as Kenneth Doolin, who lived at the mobile home, Simpson said.
As part of the investigation, detectives determined that a man was at the residence when the fire began, and that he left in a vehicle not belonging to him before firefighters arrived. The stolen vehicle was recovered in Connersville, Indiana.
The other man was identified as Anthony Wayne Luker Jr., 23, of Richmond, Indiana. He is charged with receiving stolen property. In addition, detectives want to speak to Luker related to the fire investigation, Simpson said.
