The La Porte Fire Marshals Office is investigating an apparent arson of a vehicle that was found on a road under the state highways 146/225 overpass Sunday (June 10).
La Porte police responded to a vehicle fire shortly after 10 p.m. and found what appeared to be a pickup truck fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters arrived shortly after and extinguished the fire. However, the truck melted almost entirely, La Porte police spokesman Sgt. John Krueger said.
The officer at the scene could not make out the license plate number but identified the vehicle as a possibly white 2004 to 2008 GMC or Chevrolet extended cab pickup truck.
The vehicle was stripped of all of its contents, which could indicate that the truck was stolen before it was put on fire, Krueger said.
On Monday, a worker from a nearby industrial complex reported that his vehicle was stolen. He said he had just learned of the fire in the morning.
Krueger said it is unclear why the man hadnt reported his vehicle stolen earlier.

Doesn't seem like it could be, if this was June 10?
