HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Three people found dead in a Cypress-area house fire have been identified, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
Investigators said the victims were identified as Kelly Masciarelli, her adult son Kolin Foster, and his girlfriend Cameryn Richard. All three lived at the home. It is unclear if anyone else lived with them.
Investigators said on Sunday they found signs of foul play in the deadly house fire.
This happened on Plains River Drive in the Cypress Mill Park community. The Cy-Fair Fire Department responded to the scene around 7 a.m. Firefighters suspected the fire was arson-related and contacted law enforcement after discovering the bodies.
