The bride and groom's house exploded while tying a nearby knot. I was blown away by one of my guests.
Tom Davis and Eleni Vretts said “I” the day after Valentine's Day, when a Chicago suburban home exploded in a massive burst of flames and a massive burst of flames they had insured at the time. ABC 7 Chicago reported.
“I ran in my wedding dress here like an alley, looking from my neighbor's garden,” said the bride,” I spoke to WGNTVshe said that just minutes after saying, “I will.”
“It was all smoke at that point,” she said.
The body found on Kawara Rub was identified as Anthony Avirapuebla (31) on Saturday.
The suspect was one of the wedding guests and had an affair with someone who lived in the house, police said.
After her first appearance at the ceremony, Avila Puebla was seen sliding down and parking a car less than a block from the bride and groom's house, authorities told the outlet.
He was caught up in surveillance video, filming at least two jugs of certain flammable liquids in the building.
At the time, no one was in the house at the time, but there was no one except for the six cats who lived there and are now missing, authorities said.
The fire caused by the explosion caused an adjacent building to fire, replacing 11 families.
GoFundMe has raised nearly $57,000 for the Vrettos family, who have lived in the house for decades.
“The building belonged to my family for almost 40 years. Yeah, I grew up here, so I live, I live here, I work in the community. So Cicero is everything I really know,” Vrettos told the outlet last month.
The family also said in a fundraiser that they were in the process of remodeling and relocating their home insurance and “we didn't have coverage to help them recover from this catastrophic loss.”
“This house was more than just a home. It was where Eleni grew up, where she and Tom moved to start a new life together, and the family made countless memories over the years.”
Cicero police are investigating.
