The Search For Christa's Killer

The families of two arson victims are asking for your help to solve the case.

Twenty-one years ago this weekend, the fire killed an 8 year old girl and her neighbor in Richmond Beach.

Cristi%20Silverii.bmp
Christa Rose-Lena Silverii

This picture of Christa Rose-Lena Silverii was taken three days before she was killed in 1987.

She would have been 30 years old this year if not for the deadly fire, but she wasn't the only victim that night.

Nancy Lumlee's son Michael was 19 years old when he woke to flames and heavy smoke in the Richmond Beach condo he shared with his dad, Bruno Vilumsons.

Lumlee says, "When he went down the stairs he tried to cover his face which was the best thing he could have done because the rest of his body was severely burned.

Michael barely made it out alive and suffered 3rd degree burns over half his body.
His father never woke up.

Lumlee says, ”All he remembers is screaming at the bottom of the steps, I guess the fire units had already arrived, get my dad, get my dad, get my dad!”

Across the hall, 8 year old Christa and her mom were trapped by the flames in the bathroom..her mom survived..but the smoke was too much for the little girl.

Christa's father's Steve Silverii lives in Arkansas now but has never given up hope that someone will come forward to help solve his daughter's death.

Silverii says, “She would have grown up to be a great adult justice for her is really what I'm looking for.”

Investigators determined the fire started in the 3rd floor hallway between the units and there was no question it was arson.

Lumlee says her ex-husband had a bad gambling habit but could he have gotten in so deep that somebody wanted him dead?

Lumlee says, “Absolutely, I could see him having a lot of enemies, he was a hothead."

The King County Sheriff's Department says the case is cold. There are no leads and no-one has ever been arrested. Silverii hopes on this anniversary of his daughter's death, someone will come forward and give his family peace.

Silverii says, “She was friendly and she shouldn't have been involved in somebody else's problem and lost her life at that time.”

As for Michael, he spent a decade recovering from the severe physical and mental injures....he later became a minister with World Outreach in Uganda where he met his wife.

Lumlee is looking forward to grandchildren but can't forget what happened to her son.

Lumlee says, "i dont' want to go to my grave without ever finding out who did this because who did this ruined so many familes."
