Firefighters put out a fire at a Renton home and found the
body of a teenage girl inside.
Police believe the fire was an arson and they are calling
the 17-year-old Lindbergh High School student’s death
suspicious because of her injuries.
Deputy Chief Erik Wallgren says she was the only person in
the house. Attempts to revive her were unsuccessful.
Police are looking for a car that may be associated with the
crime, a 2001 green Mazda Protege, license 077-YRD.

smoke coming from the second floor of the two-story home.
He says firefighters rescued a dog they found inside the
