Coming May 1 to the Binge, The Arsonist Next Door. In the year 2000, an arson spree terrorized the city of Phoenix. Houses built along the edge of a beloved mountain preserve were being targeted. A group of radical God-fearing environmental vigilantes claimed responsibility and warned if the houses were rebuilt, they would strike again. A sprawling investigation turned friend against friend, and neighbor against neighbor. Once the fire starter was finally arrested, the mystery only deepened. Reporter Sam Anderson investigates a story of fire and betrayal that would have world-changing consequences.
