Aaron Taylor was 36 and experiencing homelessness when he was lit on fire on Christmas Day in 2007. Police think they know who’s responsible, but a lack of physical evidence, coupled with reluctant witnesses, has kept this case open for years. But multiple people know what happened… and investigators are hoping they’ll come forward.
