The Doctor Who Set Her Family On Fire: Debora Green| The New Detectives | Real Responders

This week on New Detectives - Sometimes, arson fires are set to cover a different, more heinous crime - such as murder. But killers are wrong to think that fire destroys all vital clues. Arson investigators can pull evidence from scorched rubble and ashes to ignite the unquenchable flames of justice.

Imagine having to grow up knowing that not only did your own mother kill your siblings, but you weren't even supposed to survive either. Evil, evil woman

[@Commentator541]

More like mentality unstable.

[@nowandaround312]

​@@Commentator541 Evil and mentally unstable are not mutually exclusive. She behaved like a cold and calculating psychopath, not a person experiencing psychosis which makes them disconnected from reality, unable to understand the wrongness of their actions and will be devastated later on after learning what they've done. Even the psychologist hired for her defense said that she was mentally competent.

"Debora Jones Green (nee Jones; born February 28, 1951) is an American physician who pleaded no contest to setting a 1995 fire which burned down her family's home and killed two of her children, and to poisoning her husband with ricin with the intention of causing his death."

[@triamaria]

She reminds me of Diane Downs.

[@kraken9321]

RIP those 2 firefighters. They were so brave

[@billjohnston1489]

Omg how could a mother set fire to the family home with her children inside she is an absolute monster in instances like this the death penalty should apply, and to the brave fire fighters may you both R.I.P your bravery will never be forgotten

[@sinneadfert]

Unfortunately it seems she hated her husband far more than she loved her children 😢

[@eliseigo490]

Only 15 years for insurance fraud and killing two firefighters?!

[@WildWombats]

I think it was only 15 years for him because he himself didn't set the fires, only made the plans to. His accomplice is the one who set the fires, and they never found him. Much like hiring a hitman, usually the person doing the hiring gets a lesser sentence (usually, but it's still a high sentence) while the hitman would get the heavy full sentence as he fully committed the crime.

[@tracypolselli1464]

I’d never heard of this case but just finished reading Ann Rules book about this horrible woman. She was willing to let her attorneys implicate her dead son for the fire.

[@James_Bowie]

"Three years after two firefighters were killed in a blaze at Stormy's Seafood Restaurant, a restaurant co-owner and his mother were indicted Thursday on charges of burning the place down for insurance money. A federal grand jury in Orlando handed down a four-count indictment against restaurant co-owner and operator Forrest J. "Biff" Utter, 49, and his mother, Alice Pauline Duncan, 71. They were arrested Thursday evening and taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail, police said. A 1988 fire destroyed Utter's home in Kentucky while the home was in foreclosure."

[@James_Bowie]

Utter appealed his conviction and was granted a retrial. Once again he was found guilty but the judge increased his initial 15 year sentence to 25 years.

[@triamaria]

Seeking source of fire, if you are talking about restaurant fatality

[@douglaidlaw740]

There are too many cases of marital conflict turning deadly. Do Americans have too low a flash point? Or does too easy access to firearms make murder too easy, even in cases where guns are not used? @Zuzel: You have put your finger on the problem. Love is better than money as a national culture. (I must say that my wife and I were an instant match, and after 50 years together, we have never seriously considered a separation.)

[@annacostello5181]

It’s mostly access to guns… not in Green’s case. But the number of rage-fueled shotgun deaths would go waaay down if guns weren’t immediately available before you have a chance to cool down. Yes, you can kill with knives or arson or your bare hands. But nothing so smoothly lethal as a bloody gun.

THEY don't go into burning buildings anymore,unless they are sure someone is needing rescue... I am pretty sure of that. The restaurant owner refuses to give up the arsonist then he should do his time as well. 15 years for causing the deaths of two fire men? Utter shame.

Now with the two murderers.... these are grown adults with we can only assume have adult minds...having the thought , but then using reasoning , for thought and all those special gifts that we are all given ,like right from wrong, or just the possibility that we won't get away with this,.then what ?are you /we still gonna take that chance. I know that no matter what someone /or things in life just aren't worth my freedom, not just physically but mentally. So with that being said, watch out if your significant other is immature, and low morals. Made a list ,but no ware on it was,.. any plans for what to do for the kids, when get caught and go to jail . And the second reallly takes the award for worst mother of the century ...just stay in your room and wait for ... 😓 oh my,and the daughter that escaped on her own ,no thanks to her loving monster of a mother. They skipped mentioning the part that her mother tried to kill her too, I'm sure for the sake of the girl.😑thanks mom. And all for what, revenge on their dad:(

[@MrJr1976]

They must have had more than what we were told in the final story. They have a secondhand confession and a single lie. I’m really surprised a jury found him guilty of anything. The evidence was circumstantial at best.
