Kelly Morris, of Stem

Stem, N.C. — Granville County authorities say they now consider the fire at a missing woman's house to be arson.

Kelly Morris, 28, was reported missing more than a week ago after firefighters responded to the blaze at her home at 3220 Tump Wilkins Road.

Police found Morris's burgundy 2005 Honda Accord (North Carolina license plate TXP-5917), keys, purse and cell phone some time later in an undeveloped subdivision about a mile from her home.

Investigators say there was no sign that Morris was in her home when it burned. Her husband and two children were not at home at the time of the fire.

Authorities do not have any suspects in the fire and are still treating Morris' disappearance as a missing person's case.

An active search is still under way to find her, and authorities said it will continue Saturday with K-9 units brought in to assist.

Granville County sheriff's investigators are asking anyone with information about the fire or Morris' disappearance to call 919-693-3213.

No he does not work for himself at his own shop. He is employed by someone else and the other employees and the business owner knew his whereabouts.

Uhmm...let me guess. The husband isn't cooperating and he's already lawyered up! Yea ok, so he was at work at the time of the fire. But, he also worked for himself at his own shop.

This is America! A person is innocent until proven guilty! NOT guilty until proven innocent. No one knows what the circumstances behind this are. It could have been a setup in order to frame the husband and Kelly could be living somewhere else with a boyfriend...or for that matter a girlfriend. I understand that one of the guys she had an affair with is also missing. That is just something I heard, but I think that the husband deserves a little support here, also. I have no idea what happened, but neither does anyone else...JMO...

It is hard to keep anything Granville County on anything WRAL. It just does not exist in their world.
