5/8/14 - The family killed in a Florida fire that authorities believe was intentionally set have local ties. The home is owned by former tennis star James Blake, who was renting it to the Campbell family. It was engulfed in flames when firefighters responded early Wednesday morning and the bodies of two adults and two teenagers were found in the charred remains. Theyâre believed to be 49-year-old Darrin Campbell, his wife Kimberly, and the coupleâs son and daughter. Darrin and Kimberly reportedly met in Lansing, while both were working as legislative aides. Kimberly graduated from Central Michigan University and Darrin Campbell had an MBA from the University of Michigan. He worked for a time at Ford Motor Company and the couple lived in Milford before relocating to Florida with their family. Campbell had been an executive for several high-profile companies, including a senior vice president at a company that provides mobile, temporary shipping and storage containers. Investigators have described the fire as unusual and said there were "various fireworks" throughout the home but have so far stopped short of calling the case a murder-suicide. Autopsies were being performed today. (JM)
