Flames Kill: The Victims of Arsonist Robert Long

In the summer of 2000, 15 backpackers burned to death in a hostel with 69 survivors barely escaping the flames—but this fire was no accident.
These travelers were murdered with great intent by arsonist Robert Long when he became fed up with the hostel staff and the backpackers within.
Robert Long is officially eligible for parole, but his ex and the families of his victims are convinced that he will kill again.
With Long, history has a way of repeating itself.
