The state Department of Homeland Security says the cause of a northern Indiana house fire that killed a state trooper and her daughter has been ruled undetermined.
Trooper Stephanie Thompson and Mya Thompson died Feb. 17 after a fire fully engulfed their Monticello home.
The scene was examined by department investigators as well as investigators and engineers from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the agency said.
“Due to the house being a total loss no definitive origin and cause could be identified,” the department told WRTV-TV in a statement Thursday.
Sgt. Thompson was a 23-year veteran of the State Police and the wife of White Circuit Judge Jason Thompson.
