Description
The defendant purchased the house in 1974. He did not use it as a residence, but rather as a rental property until the fire on June 25, 1975. Subsequently Detective Mahoney of the Yuma Police Department received information which caused him to suspect that the fire in the property had been the work of an arsonist. During his preliminary investigation Mahoney learned that the dwelling had been unoccupied at the time of the blaze, the tenants having moved three days prior to the fire. Two of the prior tenants, in fact, had been hired by the defendant to tear down the building and were in the process of wrecking it when Mahoney made his initial on-site visit. After advising the wreckers to cease their activities, Mahoney contacted the State Fire Marshal's office in Phoenix for assistance. In response to the request, Deputy Fire Marshal Dale went to Yuma, accompanied Detective Rube to the premises the following day, and conducted his investigation. Upon the completion of his investigation, Dale concluded that the fire had been the result of arson. From the beginning to the end of this investigation, no effort was made, either by the Yuma Police, the Yuma Fire Department, or the State Fire Marshal's office, to obtain a search warrant for the premises in question.
