I'm starting this thread almost a week after this fire because as more info is released, it's just getting sicker and sicker...
The link to the original article I saw related to the fire is already dead (after less than a full week?!?). First link is that same story from a different source. I first learned of this from a Lexington (KY) news source. The other links are from some smaller local news sources and from Charleston (WV). Charleston is in another state, but is actually closer to the crime.

As it turns out, the couple and the child (grandchild) were dead before the blaze started.
This is a link from Charleston that has a few videos.

This is a story from a small town paper in eastern KY. It talks more about the killer(s). The woman (Amanda Bowen) was taken to the hospital for clearance and a Super Glue bottle "fell out" of her while there. The bottle had Xanax and Methadone tabs in it. I'm really, really glad I wasn't there. I didn't realize you could put pills inside a Super Glue bottle and didn't WANT to realize that someone would hide a Super Glue bottle there.
I don't know if these were the meds stolen from the house or not. They could have been.
Methadone is not just used for heroin withdrawal. Opiates are all basically based on the same thing, but the variations affect people in different ways. I know people can react badly to Hydrocodone, yet can take Codeine or Oxycodone without trouble. Sometimes people can take Methadone and not react when the other opiates will make them sick, so that is all they can use for bad pain.

According to WKYT, CBS Affiliate in Lexington, KY...
A couple and their 8-year-old granddaughter died in the house fire Saturday morning.
The fire happened in the area of Upper James Lane in Inez.
A neighbor who tried to save them said "I tried to go in, I couldn't. So I took a cinder block and knocked the air conditioner out of the little girls room to try and pull her out but she wasn't in there. And it was too late to try and do anything else."

The two people already in jail for the murder of three people in Martin County, Ky. now face additional charges following a grand jury indictment Thursday morning.
Troopers arrested Jack D. Smith, 41, of Inez, hours after the bodies of Tina Goble, 42, her granddaughter, Trinity, 8, and Tina's boyfriend, Cannie Johnson, 47, were found in Goble’s burned out home in Inez early Saturday morning .
Amanda Bowen, 26, also of Inez, was arrested later that day on an unrelated drug charge.
The warrant also says the pair stole various items from the home, including medications and jewelry.
Troopers say in the warrant that Smith and Bowen “concealed physical evidence by placing her bloody clothing, knives and items stolen from the residence of Tina Goble in a bag and removing it from their residence in an attempt to conceal the evidence from being used in an official proceeding.”
Martin County Coroner, Joe Mullins, tells WSAZ.com that preliminary autopsy results show that all three people were shot twice and stabbed multiple times.

Following her arrest Tuesday on murder and robbery charges, Amanda K. Bowen, 26, of Inez, was taken to Highlands Regional Medical Center for medical clearance. While at the hospital, however, her behavior clued the staff there that something else was going on.
“While at the hospital, a nurse on staff witnessed a Super Glue container fall out of the subject’s genital area, onto the floor,” the arrest report noted. “Subject picked up the container, opened it, and poured several pills into her mouth, before the nurse staff could stop her.”
