One thing I was wondering about - given he’s in security (albeit cyber), one would think with a house that large it would have had all the best bells and whistles wrt fire alarms, sprinkler systems, etc.
. . . which, of course, is why it is suspicious ...
The house is new, built 10 years ago.
It could very well be up to code (lord knows builders and statists are sticklers for every damn rule when building these days), and beyond.
That doesn’t mean it will survive or anyone inside will.
