Minimal damage was reported after a truck erupted in flames in a garage at the former site of Beacon Lumber in New Bedford.

It turns out there is a concerning connection regarding a major subject of the probe, and this was not disclosed to the public.

Amazing what a year can do to ease the pain of loss—and getting $200,000 tossed your way doesn't hurt either.

In his weekly appearance on WBSM, Mayor Jon Mitchell said Police Chief Joe Cordeiro is "eyeballing" the inquiry into the missing lumber meant for the Ernestina.

The 2015 decision to move the valuable lumber out of dry, secure storage and to just dump it out of sight and off to the side of a muddy trail seems shady.

Statements appearing to be in conflict with each other were offered by Mayor Mitchell as answers into the Ernestina lumber's circumstances.

New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell addressed the missing wood meant for the Ernestina restoration in his weekly appearance on WBSM.

WBSM host Ken Pittman, who is also a licensed private investigator, has been investigating the tale of the missing lumber designated for the Ernestina.

Spokesman Jonathan Carvalho stated that it was determined that a City DPI employee made an honest mistake and gave the Ernestina-Morrissey's wood away.

New Bedford City Councilor-at-Large Brian Gomes is calling for a "thorough investigation" into the historic timber that went missing from the City Yard.
