Fire officials searched the smoldering ruins to see if anyone was inside when the blaze broke out, but neighbors said no one had been seen near the house in the past few days, Police Officer Russell Case said.

Robert Rubino bought the home during the PTL bankruptcy proceedings. Rubino was believed to be in New York on business.
