Oklahoma Firefighter Charged in Arson Where Body Was Discovered
A volunteer firefighter in Osage County, Oklahoma has been charged with setting an August 3, 2011 fire that damaged several structures and consumed 300 acres. What has investigators puzzled was the discovery of human remains inside a school bus that was damaged in the blaze.
Dustin William Koelliker, 39, a member of the Sand Creek Fire Department, is accused of setting the fire and endangering human life. He is being held on $100,000 bond.
The fire is reported to have destroyed one house, damaged another, and damaged several mobile homes, outbuildings, tractor trailers, a boat, a motorcycle, a greenhouse, and approximately 300 acres.
The body was found in a bus that belongs to Koelliker’s stepfather, Daniel Glenn Clark, who is serving time for child molestation. The bus was apparently being used for storage. Police have not identified the remains, which are being sent for DNA testing. Koelliler has not been accused of any offenses related to the body. He was terminated by the fire department.
