The fire erupted Monday in a detached home in the small community, located about 500 kilometres north of Montreal.

The car, a blue Honda Civic that had been reported stolen, was found in a wooded area near Havelock, Que., near the Quebec-U.S. border.

The suspect, Justin Bresaw, remains the subject of a Canada-wide arrest warrant.

Bresaw was seen near the Amos home before the fire started. He rented a room in the basement of the home in Amos, police said.

The 35-year-old man was last seen on Tuesday in the Ottawa area.

Bresaw is described as white, five-foot-seven, about 170 pounds and was last seen wearing a red sweater with long sleeves, work shoes and a black backpack.

A video of the blaze engulfing the structure was posted on YouTube. The bodies were discovered after emergency crews extinguished the flames.

The names of the victims have not been released but they are believed to be two men, aged 56 and 71, and a 61-year-old woman.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
