Little Hope Was Arson
Season 16
Episode 11
January 2010: In the “buckle of the Bible Belt,” 10 churches burn to the ground in just over a month, igniting the largest criminal investigation in East Texas history. Even Satan himself is considered a suspect in this investigation of a community terrorized from the inside out. A real-life whodunit, Little Hope Was Arson shows how the truth becomes as damaging as the fires themselves.
