Plot summary[]
In 1996, 17-month-old Josh Hinson died in a fire in his Tabor City, North Carolina home. A federal agency ruled that the fire was intentionally set, and Josh's mother Terri Strickland was charged with murder.
But are government scientists, with all of their resources, always right? Using the then-emerging resources of the internet, Terri Strickland undertook her own investigation. An independent fire investigator was able to poke enough holes in the government's scientific conclusions to raise serious questions about whether the fire was arson or an accident.
