Heading: riner's arrest

Text: In November 1999, Riner told his employer and personnel at his children's schools that he and the children would be traveling to Pennsylvania to attend a funeral. Instead, Riner spent about 19 days traveling around to different destinations in the United States and then flying to Panama. The flight out of the country occurred at a time when the police investigation into the fire and death of Denise was nearing completion and Riner remained a prime suspect. In fact, Riner was indicted for first degree murder and arson on January 18, 2000. [6] Riner was arrested in Panama on January 21, 2000. At that time, he had in his possession clothes, documents, and luggage that had been in the house prior to the fire.
