Police: Fire Set To Cover Woman's Murder

Columbus Division of Police

Columbus police say a woman found dead in a burned-out East side townhome on Monday was murdered, and the fire was set by the killer to destroy any evidence. The body of  62-year-old Anna Ferriman was found in a burned-out townhome at The Villages at Eden Crossing.  Police have made no arrests in the case. Investigators say robbery may be the motive, because the victim's purse was missing.
