The investigation into an Elizabethtown fire has resulted in an arrest for murder.

The Elizabethtown Police Department says Dustin Caudill of Elizabethtown faces multiple charges including two counts of Murder, First Degree Arson, First Degree Robbery, First Degree Wanton Endangerment, Tampering with Physical Evidence, and Possession of a Handgun by a Convicted Felon following his arrest Wednesday.

According to the EPD, shortly after 5 a.m. on October 30 officers responded to a structure fire at 508 Henon Lane to assist the Elizabethtown Fire Department. Fire personnel that entered the structure discovered two deceased males, 41-year-old Blake France of Greenville and 43-year-old Anthony Garrett of Elizabethtown. The two were determined to have sustained gunshot wounds, and investigators determined that the fire was intentionally set. 

Witnesses reported seeing a gold pickup truck leaving the scene. Officers located that vehicle at a motel on South Dixie Avenue, where video surveillance showed Caudill exiting the vehicle and later discarding a handgun. Further investigation revealed the personal belongings of the victims in Caudill’s motel room, and it was later discovered that Caudill discharged his firearm at a third victim.

The EPD says that during an interview with police, Caudill confessed to shooting the victims and intentionally setting fire to the residence, as well as stealing the wallets of the victims and discarding them in a gas station trash can.

Caudill was taken into custody and was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center. He is scheduled to appear in a video arraignment hearing in Hardin District Court Thursday morning.
