TRASK, Mo. -- A state fire marshal's investigator is looking for the cause of a fatal house fire that appears to be arson. It started around 6 a.m. Tuesday in Trask, which is just west of Mountain View. Firefighters found a body in the home, which is on Howell County Road 2650, off Highway V.

When firefighters got to the scene, the home was fully engulfed in flames. They found the body after the fire was out.

Investigators say the body is in such bad shape that they can't tell if it belonged to a man or a woman. Family members of the 37-year-old man who lived in the home believe it's his body, however. They declined to reveal his name, except that he goes by Bub, but said he's the youngest of 14 siblings.

The Howell County Sheriff's Department is looking for two men who they think might have started the fire. They think those men are driving a yellow four-door Nissan with Kansas license plates.
