The 911 call about the fire came about an hour after after social workers from the Arizona Department of Child Safety removed two children, 9 and 4 years old, from the home, police said.
The prior week, on Jan. 20, Phoenix police had visited the house to find an 11-year-old girl home alone, and she was removed by Department of Child Safety social workers who suspected child abuse, authorities said.The father, 56-year-old Rafael Loera, was booked into jail on charges of concealing human body parts, endangerment, child abuse and arson, police said. The mom, 50-year-old Maribel Loera, was booked on suspicion of child abuse.
The parents, taken to the Maricopa County 4th Avenue Jail, had not been assigned or hired attorneys by early Wednesday afternoon, according to prosecutors. “As you can imagine, this is a very complex investigation. What’s important to know is that the three children are safe," Phoenix police Sgt. Maggie Cox told reporters at the scene on Wednesday.
“You can only imagine the amount, the layers of investigation that are going on. There are so many interviews that are being done, evidence that’s being processed,” Cox said.
