An attack by an armed man at a campsite would leave a fellow hiker dead and Kirby Morrill gravely injured and fighting for her life, forced to hike 10 kilometres through the darkness to find help.

RCMP say the arson investigation into the February 2017 fire at Bates Barn in Long Point, N.B., is ongoing.

Fire crews were called to the home at approximately 5 p.m., following a kitchen fire.
