SEATTLE — A Seattle man arrested in connection with an arson-related homicide investigation in Wallingford had his first day in court on Friday.
The 25-year-old man was brought before a judge in connection with a house fire where a 72-year-old woman died on June 4.
In court documents, police said the suspect was seen on several doorbell cameras and home security systems in the neighborhood walking around with a Dick’s Drive-In burger bag.
Police were able to use surveillance footage from a Dick Drive-In restaurant to identify the suspect.
He was arrested on Thursday.
The judge found probable cause for first-degree murder, and bail was set at $4 million following a court hearing on Friday afternoon.
The case is still under investigation by the Seattle Police Department.
