He made sure to go back and made sure everything burned.
A man wanted at a Bastrop County accused
of lighting his ex's house on fire.
And here in Cedar Creek, what's behind me
is all that's left behind after Abraham Chacon
is accused of setting his ex's house
on fire on three separate occasions.
You can see that the roof is completely caved in.
The windows are blown out and everything inside,
as well as the house itself, has been ruled a complete loss.
Because I know it could have been worse if he did this to my home.
I mean, it makes me think, well, what did he do to me?
Wishing to remain anonymous,
the woman involved in the case spoke to Fox 7.
She said a few months ago she had rekindled a relationship with Chacon,
but recently wanted to end things.
Then I decided to call it off
because I no longer felt safe in the situation.
And that's when things just blew out of control.
On October 14th, the woman says Chacon called
her and threatened to set her house on fire.
That night, she claims he broke into her house and assaulted her.
When he broke down my door, he started assaulting me.
My kids luckily were sleeping, and that's when I managed to escape.
Not feeling safe anymore, the woman
says she never returned to her house.
Just three days later, a neighbor called her,
saying she saw smoke coming from her home.
A call from the neighbor came in,
and I just knew immediately what it was.
She says that Chacon had set her room
on fire the next day he would return.
accused of starting another fire that morning
and later again that evening.
I just already knew it was him, so I went back
and it was when I seen my house was like it's completely gone.
The woman says she lost everything, including their dog Nala
and her seven puppies, which she had gotten for her children.
It was very hard because the reason why I got
the dog was because her dad passed away.
So in order for me to feel safe, I opted to get a dog.
So for them to lose the dog, it was like,
you know, that was our sense of security.
The woman is now trying to pick up the pieces for her family,
getting help from the American Red Cross.
But it hasn't been easy, as Chacon still remains on the loose.
It's definitely scary. I don't feel safe at all.
You know, I'm trying just for my kid's sake.
And for Chacon, she has a simple message.
I hope you get caught and you pay for what you did.
