The Des Moines Register reports that Harris and Nikki Rasmussen were friends until a dispute erupted which local police detective Jack Kamerick explained was a result of a Harris asking her friend to set up a Facebook group for a party she was holding.
As the party approached there were “a lot of declines” on Facebook, indicating the event would not go ahead. The dispute intensified, AP reports, with Rasmussen saying that Harris posted “horrible things” about her on the social networking website.
The Daily What adds that no-one was injured in the blaze but the couple’s garage was destroyed.
