On the night of November 21, 2016, a deliberately set fire destroyed a two-story home on East Columbia Street in Flora, Indiana, killing four young sisters. Eleven-year-old Keyana Davis died of asphyxiation from smoke inhalation along with her siblings Keyara Phillips, 9; Kerriele McDonald, 7; and Kionnie Welch, 5. Their mother, Gaylin Rose, escaped but was injured; a sheriff’s deputy and a Flora police officer were also hurt while attempting rescues.

Investigators found accelerants at the scene and quickly treated the blaze as arson. The Indiana State Police later took over the probe with FBI assistance. Despite numerous interviews and a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction, no arrests have been announced and no official suspects named. Authorities have stated Gaylin Rose is not a suspect. The house has since been demolished, but the family and community continue to seek answers.

If anyone has information about the fire or the persons involved that could help the investigation, please come forward.
