Key takeaway However, when they saw the man again 15 minutes later, acting nervously near some bushes, Child took note.
A grandfather's quick thinking led investigators to a suspect in a fire incident in Spokane, Washington. The grandfather, Paul Child, was driving with his grandson in a rural area when they saw a man walking along the road. The man's behavior seemed unusual, but Child didn't think much of it at the time.
However, when they saw the man again 15 minutes later, acting nervously near some bushes, Child took note. It wasn't until after they arrived home that Child made a connection to a fire in the area. Further details about the incident are available from the source, including the events that unfolded after Child arrived home and learned about the fire.
