A woman has been found guilty of murder and of setting more than a dozen fires that ripped through properties in Tacoma and Ruston in late 2021 and early 2022.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department told KOMO News on Wednesday of Sarah Ramey’s verdict from a jury, which included murder, 13 counts of arson, two attempted arson, burglary, identity theft, and motor vehicle theft.

Authorities said Ramey set 18 fires in 2022 that burned homes, a garage, and a car.

A fire on New Year’s Eve in 2021 killed an 83-year-old man. At the time of Ramey's arrest, investigators knew a man had died in a house fire on New Year's Eve, but the fire had been ruled accidental. The man's cause of death was determined to be accidental as well, according to court documents.
