Late last night the business of Elizabeth [REDACTED UPON REQUEST] was the scene of a three alarm fire. The building, located off of Bridge Street, was registered with the Historic Society as one of the oldest buildings in New Hope. Authorities believe arson to be the cause of the blaze which left nothing but foundation standing. Police are in the process of locating Dr. James Corenthal, the sole person of interest in the investigation. Dr. Corenthal is also currently wanted for questioning in relation to at least three dozen open cases spanning 25 states including Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Acting as Dr. Corenthal's legal representative, William Davidson has asked local media outlets to issue a statement calling for Dr. Corenthal's full cooperation as Davidson himself has had no contact with Corenthal in several months. Any residents with helpful information pertaining to James Corenthal's whereabouts are urged to contact New Hope PD immediately.
