Excerpts from the Chicago Tribune:
A former firefighter from Winthrop Harbor is currently sitting in custody with a staggering $1 million bail. The charges? Aggravated arson and attempted murder of his elderly aunt, who he allegedly tried to pin the fires on. These incidents took place in both Winthrop Harbor and Pleasant Prairie.
Keith Kauppi, 28, was arrested following what authorities say was his confession to setting a fire at his aunt Kathleen Kauppi's house back in December. Additionally, he’s also accused of starting another blaze in June, which left his aunt with minor to severe burns.
Initially, Kathleen Kauppi was arrested for an unrelated arson case in Pleasant Prairie. However, once her nephew admitted to starting that fire too, the charges were dropped. According to Winthrop Harbor Police Chief Joel Brumlik, Kauppi's motive seems to have been financial. In February, Kauppi lost his job at the Winthrop Harbor Fire Department after being accused of forging checks from his aunt's account. Interestingly, his aunt had declined to press charges back then.
Brumlik believes the arsons were part of an elaborate scheme by Kauppi to cover up his fraudulent activities. Last week, the situation escalated further when the aunt sought refuge at her brother's place due to concerns about her safety. A fire broke out there, causing significant alarm.
The Pleasant Prairie Police report indicates that Kathleen Kauppi was asleep on a couch when the fire erupted. Her nephew claims he rushed downstairs upon hearing a loud noise, only to find the couch ablaze. He doused it with water and moved the damaged items outside, where the scent of gasoline was reportedly noticeable. An officer on the scene confirmed the presence of gasoline on the couch, a burned blanket, and scorched clothes.
In response to questioning, the nephew admitted to restarting his forgery attempts earlier this week. Following hours of interrogation, he finally confessed. Later, he guided an investigator from the Winthrop Harbor Police Department to the exact locations where he’d poured the gasoline.
