A 19-year-old SEAL dropout is the prime arson suspect in one of the Navy's biggest peacetime disasters.
A federal search warrant unsealed Tuesday reveals for the first time the breadth of the early days of the investigation into the devastating fire on board the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard — and how a 19-year-old SEAL dropout became the prime arson suspect.
The U.S. Attorney’s office asked a federal judge to unseal the search warrant so it could be disclosed to the sailor’s defense lawyers in the Navy prosecution, according to a motion filed Monday. It took Navy and federal firefighters four days to fully extinguish the blaze. A month later, the Navy declared the vessel a total loss. It was towed out of San Diego in April to a scrapyard in Brownsville, Texas.
When investigators returned to the scene the next day, the bottle was gone, the search warrant states. The flagging tape that had been attached to it and the knot of rope were discarded on the floor.No investigators or technicians had processed the bottle or removed the flagging tape, and an exhaustive search of the area came up empty, according to the document. The search did, however, turn up three additional bottles and two aluminum cans, four of which contained small amounts of liquid.
