The Rincon Band of Mission Indians is still offering a $25,000 reward for information about the deadly Paradise Fire that hit southern California two years ago this week.
Parts of the reservation were destroyed by the fire and the tribe has been rebuilding. But chairman John Currier said he hasn't heard of any progress in the investigation of the blaze.
Residents of the reservation told The North County Times that they think they know who started the fire. But some aren't willing to come forward out of fear of retaliation.
The fire claimed the lives of two people. One family is suing the Rincon Band and Harrah's Entertainment, the operator of the tribe's casino.
