MARCH 15, 2007 : (SACRAMENTO, CA : SUSPICIOUS RAILROAD TRESTLE FIRE -- See MORAN-MARQUES) Union Pacific Railroad trestle that was destroyed March 15, 2007, in what investigators said was an arson fire. The fire destroyed 1,400 feet of the trestle, cutting one of the railroad's main east-west arteries. It moved so quickly that within hours, investigators were describing the blaze as suspicious.
Although Moran-Marques was the only suspect in the deliberately set fire, he was never charged with arson. He pleaded guilty late last year to giving a false name to an agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
After serving his time, Moran-Marques was deported back to his native El Salvador. He was last seen by Anderson and McElheney in the area of the fire in May, just a few weeks after being deported. "When we saw him, we ran a check on him. He had no warrants, no holds, no probation, nothing," Anderson said of Moran-Marques. -------Suspect in trestle fire rearrested on probation
