FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Prosecutors will tie up the fire investigation and move into the criminal portion of the case against Richmond Hill Explosion suspect Bob Leonard, Jr., this week.

First up on the stand Tuesday: Fred Hackett, of Midwest Forensic Services. Hackett testified at the previous trial that an examination of Monserrate Shirley's home furnace and water heater showed they didn't have damage consistent with being the source of the deadly explosion.
