Homeowner Among 12 Suspects in Baldwinsville Arson
Onondaga County sheriffs say Baldwinsville resident James Vecchiarelli and a MONY Financial Services broker are among a group of about a dozen people being investigated in connection with a house fire that destroyed Vecchiarelli’s insured $300,000 home. Vecchiarelli, 52, faced a $100,000 loan default threat six weeks earlier, and investigators note gambling debts and owed money to multiple businesses as possible motives. No suspect has been named, and officials say they are awaiting tips to identify the arsonist, with Vecchiarelli’s wife Lisa also involved in the case discussions.
