Ramey was also accused of stealing Metro Parks Tacoma property. And prosecutors point out she is wearing the yellow reflective jacket in a security video taken during some of the arsons.
They say she is also wearing the jacket in the video of her using a stolen debit card.
Court documents reveal that Ramey’s mother filed for custody for her children in 2011. At that time, she said her daughter has mental health issues. And has a long history of arrests for criminal activity.
James Elliot’s friends and family are relieved that authorities are continuing to investigate.
“There were several of us who, even that night, really wondered if it was arson. So, we had concerns about that all along and I think the more arsons that we kept hearing about, the more concerned we became,” said family friend Kyna.
“We’re feeling like, finally, some of the puzzle pieces are coming together, and the police and the fire department are hearing some of the things that we’ve noticed.
Ramey is scheduled for trial on March 31st. But more charges could be filed as police continue to investigate the alleged serial arsonist.
