HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A man is charged with murder in connection with a fatal fire that happened a few days ago.
Deanna O'brian died in the fire, and the man police arrested said even though he told his ex-girlfriend he torched the house, he now tells police he lied to her.
Bradley Watson is charged with murder. Apparently what he told his ex-girlfriend was very similar to what the fire marshal found in his investigation.
Flames shot out of the home at 2688 Collis Ave. Friday night and killed 61-year-old Deanna O'brian.
After his arrest, Watson told police he lied to his ex-girlfriend about starting the fire, but the fire marshal's investigation and details of Watson’s story had many similarities.
Several points he brought up matched with details found in the investigation.
Dave Bias, Huntington Fire Marshal, said he can't go into detail on how the fire started, but he said it did spread quickly due to the balloon frame construction, vinyl siding with foam board and asphalt shingles.
“We’re looking at every angle; from the owner to the neighbors,” Bias said.
Captain Bias said he still has a few more people to interview.
Meanwhile, Bradley Watson is being held in the Western Regional Jail.
Captain bias also said that Watson will be given a lie detector test.

he talked to thomas may thats what i was told and thomas didn't like the fact that alisha and brad was together and he kept threating her that night saying he was gonna burn her alive if she stayed there thats why she didn't stay there so really i think thomas may did it because him threating her and saying that put it together get real but if any one wants to talk to me and get it all worked out call me at 412-6568 or 412-8621 please because brad don't deserve this and we know the truth like i said i do feel bad for the ladys family but brad isn't the guy trust me brads not that kind of guy to put anyone in any danger and i know because i have known him for a long time now long enough to know brad well...me and his sister has been best friends forever and i know their family and none of them have the heart to do something like that and put someone in danger....just please contact me
