SHELL KNOB, Mo -- We now have the identities of a mother, her three children and a man who were found dead inside the remains of a burned mobile home. Robin Norup, 20; her son, Juan Jose Beltran, 3; daughter, Alechena Tronsco, 3; and son, Marcello Beltran, 7 months, were victims of the fire, along with a family friend, Martin Williams Jr., 22.
All five were apparently sleeping inside the older mobile home with add-ons at 130 N. Keystone St. in Shell Knob. A neighbor called firefighters around 4:30 Saturday morning.
The Stone County sheriff says Robin Norup had recently moved to the home from Hollister, and Martin Williams Jr. was originally from Cassville.
State fire marshal's investigators have not determined a cause because there was so much damage. The sheriff says there was an older, wood stove was in the home. Central Crossing firefighters also responded to a minor electrical fire at the same home last summer.
