Murrieta Parents Arrested for House Fire That Killed Two Daughters Authorities have arrested Stacey Hales, 46, and Adam Keenan, 43, parents of two young girls who died in a house fire in Murrieta, California. The fire occurred in the early hours of December 20, 2025, engulfing a mobile home, carport, three vehicles, two outbuildings, and a large pine tree. Firefighters took approximately 45 minutes to extinguish the flames. The couple’s daughters, 11-year-old Abagail Keenan and 12-year-old Emma Keenan, along with several household pets, were found dead inside the home. Investigators concluded that the parents were criminally responsible for the fire. Hales faces multiple charges, including reckless burning causing death, child endangerment, and animal cruelty, and is free on $160,000 bail. Keenan faces charges of child endangerment and being under the influence of a controlled substance, with a court appearance scheduled for March 17, 2026. In response to the tragedy, a GoFundMe page was created to assist with funeral costs, raising over $113,000 before being removed. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the case to contact Detective Velazquez at Murrieta Police Department.

First Person: How many more children must die before the world acts? The ongoing 21-month-long war in Gaza has seen more than 58,000 killed and 100,000 wounded as Israeli attacks continue amid rising numbers of child deaths from malnutrition. In recent weeks, UN agencies have recorded nearly 900 deaths of desperate and hungry Gazans as they try to collect food – with most linked to private aid hubs run by the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
