Shippensburg area fire victim now an alleged arsonist ...

A woman was arrested Wednesday for allegedly burning down her Shippensburg area home, a crime she had blamed on someone else.

Kathy Jo Wright, 37, is accused of setting fire Oct. 16 to the duplex at 7674 Molly Pitcher Highway North in Southampton Township, Franklin County. A Franklin County Jail representative said she was free Thursday on $50,000 bail.

Wright is charged with arson to destroy an unoccupied building and arson with the intent to collect insurance money; both second-degree felonies, risking a catastrophe, destruction of property and insurance fraud; all third-degree felonies.

She is also charged with possessing an instrument of a crime and recklessly endangering another person, both misdemeanor offenses.

According to an affidavit filed with Magisterial District Judge Kelly Rock, Robert James Rabold, 27, told investigators that he was with Wright when she started the fire. She allegedly offered him half of the $50,000 fire insurance policy she purchased three weeks earlier.

Public Opinion interviewed Wright the day after the fire, and she explained that she had obtained fire insurance Sept. 1 because her neighbor made comments about burning the building down. She said she notified her landlord and state police about the threat.

"Take too much time, and look what happens," she said to a reporter while surveying the burned building. "I'm afraid to go in there by myself. I hate fire. It scares me."

Wright told the reporter that all her possessions were destroyed, including photographs, clothing, furniture, jewelry, computers and two plasma televisions. She also said the fire claimed her 12-year-old daughter's possessions and Christmas presents.

The American Red Cross provided assistance to Wright and her daughter. The brick building - which housed two apartments, a small office and a garage - was a total loss. William Swarthout was identified as the owner.
