STEPHEN, S.C.—The family of 76-year-old Julie Giggleman are grieving all over again. Three days after her death, Berkeley County deputies say a suspicious fire destroyed her home Saturday evening.

According to an affidavit, during the early evening hours of December 10th, 2016, Berkeley County deputies were dispatched to a home on Homestead Road in St. Stephen in reference to a suspicious fire.

After arriving on scene, deputies say they noticed that approximately 90 percent of the house bad been destroyed by the fire.

Deputies say a neighbor provided information that he heard a loud boom and observed two individuals drive away at a high rate of speed.

Very shortly after their departure, the house was engulfed in flames, according to the neighbor.

If you have any information on this case, contact the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office at (843) 719-4465.
