The Alabama Department of Forensic Science will begin an autopsy for a woman found dead in a burning home in Arab. This comes just one day after police found her missing car.
Heather Golden was found dead in her home on 4th Street around 3:30 Saturday morning. Right now, police are still looking for those responsible for her death.
Officials are now calling this a homicide investigation. They said Heather Golden was shot before her home was set on fire, but there are still many unanswered questions.
