Arson-murder suspect in critical condition

Police Lt. Rick Saulnier said Burton Caster will be charged with murder and arson if he survives.

Caster, 41, suffered second- and third-degree burns over 80 percent of his body from the July 13 fire and explosion that killed his wife, Nancy.

Police found the woman's charred body on a bed. They say someone had soaked her in gasoline and lit the fire.
