Johnny Bryan Cook, 60, was one of three family members found dead after a deliberately set house fire at their Loram Drive home in Troutman, North Carolina, on July 27, 2021. Firefighters and the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office discovered the bodies of Johnny, his wife Angela Duncan Cook, 51, and their son John Lawrence Thomas Cook, 27, after extinguishing the blaze. Investigators determined the fire was arson.

Authorities arrested 21-year-old Corey Alexander Cook, a son of Johnny Bryan Cook, and charged him with three counts of murder and one count of first-degree arson. He was also charged with 17 counts of felony identity theft after using family credit cards, including purchases captured on grocery store surveillance and Amazon gift card transactions. Corey Cook made statements to investigators admitting involvement and declined a plea offer that would have resolved some counts as second-degree murder.

Would anyone with information about the family, the home on Loram Drive, or the days leading up to July 27, 2021, please come forward?
