A Mamou family is trying to get their lives back together after a house fire Monday morning. The house was set on fire by one of the owner, who other family members say is mentally ill. Her family is now left with nothing.
The woman was diagnosed as mentally ill two years ago, but the family knew she had a problem for years. She received medical care on and off for two years. Anthony Fontenot and the rest of his family say they were shocked to find out his wife was responsible for setting their house on fire.
