Prince George RCMP is appealing for video as it investigates a suspicious hotel fire that left three people dead on Wednesday.
Mounties are looking for video or still images of any kind shot within a two-block radius of the Econo Lodge hotel on Victoria Street, between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. on July 8.
Firefighters were called to the hotel just after 9 a.m., and investigators later found three bodies inside.

Flames badly damaged one wing of the hotel and forced the closure of several streets in downtown Prince George Wednesday, including a stretch of Highway 16.
The BC Coroners Service is also investigating, and will determine who died, how, where, when and by what means.
