Crystal City, MO – Investigators are looking into a Jefferson County apartment fire that killed a teenager.
Darryl Joseph Kalas, Jr., 18, died in the fire in Crystal City on Monday. At first, authorities first said the fire looked to have been started by candles used in the apartment. The apartment had no electricity. Neighbors tried to break out windows to rescue Kalas, but could not.
But now the fire is being investigated as suspicious.
Kalas survived a previous fire, in 1992, in which his 15-month old brother died.
