Even now, Dothan police and fire investigators continue to sort through whats left to determine what happened.

Witnesses say it took less that two minutes for Dothan firefighters to extinguish a flaming shed behind Roberta avenue Tuesday morning.

They'd spend the rest of the day and foreseeable future trying to find out why they found what they found after the fire was out.

"Upon extinguishing the flames a victim was found inside the storage building,” Said Capt. Chris Etheredge “upon the discovery of the victim we immediately activated our arson task force because of the investigation aspect. "

Yeager actually lived at her home on Chickasaw street, She used the home on Roberta along with other family members to run a catering business.

"We had done a preliminary investigation with a couple of family members this afternoon” Said Dothan Fire Chief Larry Williams. “We've have determined that they saw her earlier this morning and had talked with her and we're trying to follow up on those leads and determine what happened to her today"
