In the early morning hours of November 22, 1991, a firebombing at an apartment in the Viewcrest Villages in Bremerton, Washington, killed 35-year-old Barbara Williams. Multiple incendiary devices were thrown into the dwelling around 3:20 a.m., one through the living room window and another into a bedroom where a 9-year-old boy, Jimmy Moore, was sleeping. The blaze heavily damaged the apartment.

Josie Greer and her son escaped unharmed. Barbara Williams and Jimmy Moore suffered critical burns and were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle; Williams later died. Velda Elaine Moore sustained burns to her hands and arms and was listed in satisfactory condition. Bremerton police classified the incident as arson and investigated it as a potential homicide.

Investigators pursued a possible motive linked to a dispute over an inheritance involving Josie Greer’s late husband and his children from a prior marriage, but the fire destroyed much of the physical evidence. As of early 1992 no arrests had been made and the attackers were not publicly identified. Does anyone have information about that night or the people involved?
