Christopher Tony Dial, 23, of Robeson County, North Carolina, died on March 14, 2006. Dial, a construction worker who lived in a mobile home at 690 Ozieley Drive in Lumberton, was found dead after his home burned; only the walls remained when firefighters finished extinguishing the blaze. Investigators determined Dial had been shot four times before the fire was set, and the fire was started to cover up the crime.

Authorities arrested 30-year-old Pattie Faye Hunt of Fairmont and charged her with first-degree murder and felony possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Hunt had a prior conviction from 1998 for paying someone to kill Murial Chavis and served three to five years, and she had been charged in 1996 with second-degree arson in a separate matter that was later dismissed. A neighbor who reported the fire was central to discovering the crime.

Does anyone have information about Dial’s final days, his circle of contacts, or the fire at 690 Ozieley Drive?
