COLUMBUS - Investigators are airing messages on Spanish-language television stations to ask potential eyewitnesses for information about an arson fire that killed 10 people.
A bilingual agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives recorded messages in a Miami television studio to air on Univision and Telemundo, two nationally broadcast stations.
A fast-moving fire Sept. 12 killed 10 people who were living together in a two-bedroom apartment - seven Mexican immigrants and three U.S.-born children of two of the immigrants.
Investigators believe eyewitness accounts will be key to finding out who started the fire, and decided to air messages on Univision and Telemundo because many of the people who live in the complex are Hispanic, said Kevin Miles, president of Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.
But only three tips had been phoned in as of late last week.
