ROSS: AFTER THIS TERRIBLE
TRAGEDY, A FAMILY AND CLOSE NEW
COMMUNITY IS GRIEVING.
A MOBILE HOME DESTROYED IN A
SUNDAY NIGHT FIRE.
AUTHORITIES SAID THE COPIAH
COUNTY BLAZE KILLED A
FOUR-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
THE SHERIFF SAID SOMEBODY FIRST
REPORTED THE FIRE AROUND
MIDNIGHT.
>> IT'S HARD FOR ME TO TALK
ABOUT IT.
ROSS INVESTIGATORS TELL US THE
HOMEOWNER'S WIFE AND A
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL MANAGED TO
ESCAPE THE FLAMES, BUT THEY
BELIEVE LITTLE FOR YOUR OLD --
FOUR-YEAR-OLD JORDYN BARNES
PANICKED.
>> THE LITTLE FOUR-YEAR-OLD GIRL
, SHE RAN BACK DOWN THERE.
THEY COULDN'T FIND HER.
ROSS: AFTER FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT
THE FIRE, THEY HAD TO SEARCH THE
DEBRIS FOR MORE THAN A HOUR
BEFORE THEY FOUND LITTLE JORD
YN'S BODY NEAR THE KITCHEN.
>> THEY LOST SOME OF THEIR
FAMILY.
ROSS: WE SPOTTED AN INVESTIGATOR
ON THE SCENE MONDAY, EXAMINING
WHAT IS LEFT OF THE HOUSE FOR
EVIDENCE AND CLUES ABOUT WHAT
CAUSED THE DEADLY FIRE.
FAMILY MEMBERS TELL US THAT THEY
WERE TOLD BY FIREFIGHTERS THAT
THE FIRE MAY HAVE BEEN SPARKED
BY A POWER SURGE.
AGAIN, THEY ARE STILL WORKING TO
DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE OF
THIS DEADLY FIRE.
