That’s a very good question.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The remains discovered in a house fire at 1720 Prescott St. S. on July 28th have been positively identified as those of Kelli Fisher, a

“Fosher was last seen on the 18th driving her aunt’s vehicle, which was later found abandoned in an empty lot. Family members indicated that fisher occasionally visited the house where the fire occurred”

So many questions. Who saw her last (and if so, are they a suspect?)? Who was actually occupying the house she visited and was found in? Was it owned but vacant?

This will likely turn out to be a murder investigation.

I think she was killed at the house and the house was later set a blaze to cover up evidence.

Car was taken by how ever did this to her and for what ever reason that person left their phones and money in the car when the car was abandon. Possibly a drug deal situation.

I agree. Kelli had previous felony drug charges. I know firsthand how hard it is to stay clean. I hope Pinellas/St Pete PD has a suspect, but if they have, they haven’t shared. MOO

If LE can get any information from the phones, it should be pretty easy to figure out who was using them and work up a suspect. Even if the phones turn out to have been used by Kelli's, the phone may lead to someone she recently had contact with that is responsible for her death.

It was reported in an article that I read, that one of Kelli's family members stated that Kelli frequented the house where her burned body was found. I wonder if the house was abandon and being used as a drug house. Surely anyone living there would have known there was a dead body in the house after 10 days.

I wonder if Kelli was seen on any traffic cams in the car or if it is just hearsay by a family member

I remember something the aunt reported that stood out to me earlier.

According to the article:
Halstead said Fisher's aunt was the last person to see her. The aunt reportedly told police she heard the car leaving the morning of July 16, and by the time she was able to look outside, the car was already driving down the street. However, Halstead said the aunt is confident Fisher was in the car.

Also…The car was found only a mile and half down the road.

Man accused of murdering Kelli Fisher was 'like a son' to her, family says

"I just couldn't imagine him doing something like that," said Kelli Fisher's aunt. "I just couldn't imagine why."

"I just couldn't imagine him doing something like that," Smith said. "I just can't imagine why."
Smith said Edward was like family to Fisher.

"She called him her son," Smith said. "He was the boyfriend to one of her daughters like five or six years ago."

Smith and Richardson said the twists and turns of the situation have them believing Edward didn't act alone.
Smith said, "We still have a lot of questions and to tell you the truth, I don't believe he was the only one involved."

Kelli Fisher’s death: Man accused of stabbing St. Pete woman to death after remains found in burnt home

Months after a St. Petersburg woman's remains were discovered inside a burned home, authorities said they've made an arrest in her murder.

www.fox13news.com

Ashley Limbardo, an SPPD spokesperson, said the suspect had keys to the home she was found in, which made him a person of interest.

While he was a person of interest, police said they were awaiting confirmation from the crime lab before he was charged on Wednesday.

"They had to rely heavily on forensic evidence. And that also takes a little bit of processing to go through. And so, when they finally received a hit today, they were able to charge Edward with first-degree murder," said Limardo
