Cape Girardeau firefighters battled a huge house fire at 132 South Hanover Friday morning.

The blaze was called in around 3:15 a.m.  When fire crews arrived, flames were shooting out of the second floor windows.

The fire appeared to have started on or around the second floor and spread throughout that floor, according to the Cape Girardeau Fire Department. 

The fire caused about $85,000 worth of damage with a small amount of fire on the first floor and damage from extensive fire on the second floor. 

There is no word if anyone was injured in the fire or fighting the fire.

According to Cape Fire Department, they believe that some people did live in the home and they were in the process of moving out.

The fire investigators believe the fire was electrical and they're calling it accidental.

Mutual Aid was called in from Jackson, Scott City and East Cape County.

One of three suspects convicted in a Cape Girardeau triple homicide will be sentenced later this month.

Michelle Lawrence will be sentenced on August 26 in Bollinger County.

Back in June, she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder.

She told the judge she helped plan the events that led to the murders of Jamie Orman, her son Derrick, and her unborn son.

But, Lawrence said the intended target was her estranged husband, John and not the Ormans.

She also agreed to testify against Patterson.

The other suspects, Samuel "Ray Ray" Hughes and Ryan Patterson will be sentenced later.

Ten weeks after Heartland mom Jacque Waller disappeared, Jackson authorities wait to find out more about a woman's body found north of St. Louis.

Police Chief James Humphreys says they are waiting to see if authorities can identify the woman.

The Missouri Water Patrol found her body Sunday in the Mississippi River, near the Lock and Dam at Winfield.

Humphreys says they feel they should check out every possible lead and this discovery happened close enough to the Heartland to warrant their attention.

In the meantime, Humphreys says new searches in Cape Girardeau County are scheduled for next week.

Volunteers will meet Saturday, August 13 at Circle S Saddle in Gordonville at 8 a.m.
