7-16-2010 Michigan:New information on a car fire that killed a Blackman Township man earlier this week. It happened Wednesday afternoon near US 127 and Reed Road in Liberty Township. Just hours before the fire, 58-year-old Thomas Holdridge was in court. The Jackson County prosecutor says, on Tuesday, he had issued a warrant charging Holdridge with second degree criminal sexual conduct.
On Wednesday morning Holdridge was in court where he lost his parental rights. Later that day, witnesses told police that Holdridge pulled into the rest area, and not long after, they say the car exploded. While police are investigating what happened at the rest stop, prosecutors say their attention is focused elsewhere.
Hank Zavislak, Jackson County Prosecutor: "Not to minimize what occurred to the alleged perpetrator, but our primary concern is with the victim and now the victim has again been victimized yet another time as a result of what apparently transpired."
The prosecutor says he was prepared to take the investigation to court, but now the case is closed. ..Source.. by Brittany Gray
