A Pennsylvania woman is really in the thick of it after admitting to intentionally setting fire to her campground home.
Tamara Santarelli, 42, and her husband, Victor Santarelli III, 44, bought Shady Rest Campground from Arnold and Mary Alice Manning in 2007. That same year (following the purchase), the bath house on the campgrounds went up in smoke.
In 2009, just two years after the bath house burned down, the couple's campground home caught fire, igniting an investigation surrounding the events. The investigation led to the couple's arrest, and a trial in Susquehanna County Court.
