A fire erupted at what appears to be the Redding, California, property home of Tyler McCain (pictured), who’s facing domestic violence charges in connection with the alleged assault of his missing wife, Nikki Cheng Saelee-McCain.
Sources told CrimeOnline that first responders and the fire department were spotted Wednesday evening at McCain’s property, where onlookers were being evacuated from the immediate area.
As CrrimeOnline previously reported, Redding Police Department said that Nikki has been missing since May 17.
Tyler McCain is currently facing domestic charges, stemming from a December incident in which both of his wife’s “eyes were blackened severely; both were swollen in what appeared to be a physical assault,” according to Shasta County Sheriff’s Deputy Gerry Maul.
