Three relatives of a 1-year-old boy who died in a house fire in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, are facing child endangerment charges. Barbara Miller, 59, Jessica Ann Miller, 25, and Brian Scott Navarre, 28, were charged on October 25. The fire occurred on September 13, trapping the boy upstairs in his crib. Barbara Miller, who was unable to climb stairs, could not reach him during the fire. The home was described as cluttered and unsafe, with a cabinet blocking the front door. Investigators found that the fire was started by a 4-year-old playing with a lighter. The children had been left unsupervised frequently, raising concerns in the community after the charges were filed. A preliminary hearing is set for November 7.
