Summary
<p>More than nine months after the Pacific Palisades fire killed 12 people and destroyed 6,800 homes, federal authorities have charged a man with setting the initial fire that caused it. Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, faces one count of Destruction of Property By Means of Fire. A federal complaint claims Rinderknecht, an Uber driver, set the fire in an area called the Hidden Buddha clearing just after midnight on New Year's Day. The feds claim Rinderknecht watched a music video where a singer sets fires before igniting it and even offered to help fight the blaze. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy goes through the strange details from the complaint in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.</p><p><strong>Host:</strong></p><p>Angenette Levy <a href="https://twitter.com/Angenette5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/Angenette5</a></p><p><strong>Producer:</strong></p><p>Jordan Chacon</p><p><strong>CRIME FIX PRODUCTION:</strong></p><p>Head of Social Media, YouTube - Bobby Szoke</p><p>Social Media Management - Vanessa Bein</p><p>Video Editing - Daniel Camacho</p><p>Guest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane Kaye</p><p><strong>STAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:</strong></p><p>Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: <a href="https://bit.ly/3td2e3y" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/3td2e3y</a></p><p>Where To Watch Law&Crime Network: <a href="https://bit.ly/3akxLK5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/3akxLK5</a></p><p>Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: <a href="https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletter</a></p><p>Read Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: <a href="https://bit.ly/3td2Iqo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/3td2Iqo</a></p><p><strong>LAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrime/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrime/</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetwork" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetwork</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrime" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrime</a></p><p>Twitch: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetwork" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetwork</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrime" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrime</a></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
