Although the origins of the so-called Lower North Fork Fire are officially under investigation, the Colorado State Forest Service has said that a controlled burn it conducted was the likely source of the fire.

Deputy Colorado State Forester Joseph Duda called the tragedy heartbreaking given the loss of life and property.

"One of the primary roles of the Colorado State Forest Service is to help keep forests healthy and reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfires through fuel reduction," he said.

"The crew reported a sudden, significant increase in wind and then reported seeing blowing embers carried across the containment line, over a road, and into unburned fuels," he said. "The crew immediately requested additional resources and began aggressively fighting the fire."

Meanwhile, an urban search and rescue team consisting of 32 people and six canines were searching for the missing woman, Kelley said. Crews were also digging through the rubble of the woman's burned-out house to see if her remains were there.

A Vermont snowplow driver who wanted to “get a girl” was accused Wednesday along with his wife of luring a popular prep school teacher from her home by pretending their vehicle had broken down, beating and strangling her, stripping her body naked and throwing it into the Connecticut River.

Allen Prue, 30, and Patricia Prue, 33, of Waterford, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Melissa Jenkins, whose SUV was found idling along a remote road near her St. Johnsbury home on Sunday with her unharmed 2-year-old inside.

Police said Allen Prue was riding around on Sunday with his wife when he got the idea “to get a girl,” the affidavit said. “They didn’t plan to get one forcefully,” the police affidavit said.

Police gave no further details on a possible motive burberry watches in the death of the 33-year-old teacher at the prestigious St. Johnsbury Academy. The Prues were ordered held without bail, and police said more charges were possible.

“They knew Miss Jenkins and had snowplowed her driveway a couple of years ago,” Vermont State Police Maj. Ed Ledo said at a news conference announcing the arrests.

A friend told police that Allen Prue had asked Jenkins out a couple of times and that she felt uncomfortable around him, according to the documents. She stopped having him plow, and in autumn 2011 he showed up drunk at her home asking if he could plow her driveway the following year.

After the court appearance, Allen Prue’s mother, Donna Prue, said that her son has never been in trouble with the law before and that she has faith he didn’t commit the crime.

“I do not believe he would burberry ties ever do this, because he didn’t have it in him. I have nothing against her (Patricia); I don’t have nothing bad to say about either one,” said Donna Prue, who lives with the couple and her daughter. She said she did not know Jenkins.

Patricia Prue’s first husband, Jeffry Witkoff, 38, of Littleton, Colo., said the news was shocking.

“If somebody told me she’s a murderer, that’s nothing that would pop into her head. When I knew her she did a have history of mental issues, for anxiety and depression and social anxiety,” he said. They were legally separated in 2007 and divorced in 2009, he said.

Police were called Sunday night after Jenkins’ son was found alone in her vehicle.

The court documents describe the encounter this way:

When the 33-year-old Jenkins got out of her vehicle, Allen Prue grabbed her and strangled her. He said his wife was outside helping him but didn’t know what she was doing. He then put the body in the backseat of their car, and they drove to their home. At some point, Patricia Prue choked Jenkins in the car “to ensure she wasn’t breathing.”

Back at their home, he put Jenkins’ body on a tarp, removed her clothes and poured bleach on her body. The Prues also removed their clothes and put them on the tarp.

They then drove to a boat access at the Connecticut River, which separates Vermont from New Hampshire, and put Jenkins’ body in the water, weighing it down with cinder blocks and concealing it with brush.

They threw a prepaid cellphone that Patricia had used to call Jenkins into the water near Moore Dam and took the tarp and the cheap louis vuitton shoes for women clothes to New Hampshire where they burned them.
