Someone posted this a few years ago, but there was a house that was on fire. I believe neighbors of the resident went inside after the fire and discovered some sort of dungeon or released some kids held captive or something of that nature.

Later cops would be seen going in and out of the house, collecting things, but I don’t think they went after the person who lived there. They might’ve lit the house on fire again - or perhaps they were “investigating” and lit it on fire in the first place.

The details are a bit fuzzy. But the whole thing was recorded and live streamed on Facebook by the neighbors who were suspicious and angry that the cops and possibly firefighters were trying to hide something.

There were some articles about it but I’m only remembering it now due to a dream I had

I googled “residents live stream police entering and exiting house on fire” and filtered it to 2020 and 2021

This doesn't sound real but I'm curious if anyone knows about this and can post a source because it sounds kinda horrifying but fascinating

This doesn't mention at all the video includes police escorting masked people into a van out the back while preventing parents from knowing what was going on prior to the house being on fire.

It was posted around 2020/2021 I think. The news articles were standard and didn’t lean onto the police findings or the possible criminal. But the residents in the livestream were saying that something was up with the owner and the house

I remember when it was in the news. It definitely happened. Lord knows what the actual situation was though.

I think maybe the cops were seen walking in and out several times, then eventually casually walking out the house as the house was on fire (again?) and then they and the firefighters just stood there and watched?
