Laura Kay Kramer, 70, lived at the Royal Suites Lodge in Anchorage when a deliberately set fire tore through the building on February 15, 2017. Pulled from the aftermath with severe injuries, she was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and died on February 24, 2017 from injuries sustained in the arson at her residence. The blaze also killed two other residents, Vivian Hall and Teuaililo Nua, and consumed the aging complex near Minnesota Drive and West 43rd Avenue.

Anchorage Police Department homicide detectives, working with the Anchorage Fire Department, the Alaska State Fire Marshal and federal ATF investigators, spent more than a year tracing the fire’s origin and movement. Public tips helped identify a key figure early in the inquiry, and investigators say they built a case concluding the fire was set intentionally and tied to a broader criminal plan carried out inside the lodge.

If anyone knew Laura Kramer, lived at the Royal Suites Lodge in 2017, or has information about the February 15 fire, please share what is known with investigators.
