Deadly Oct. 19 Cahokia Heights Spa Fire Linked to Prior Federal Prostitution Case
A deadly fire on Oct. 19 at One Spa and Fuji Super Spa in Cahokia Heights, Illinois, killed one woman whose remains were recovered two days later; seven others escaped. Quentin Hanks, 36, of St. Louis, was charged in federal court with arson after investigators allege he set the fires following a sexual encounter at One Spa. Court records indicate the property's former owner pleaded guilty in 2014 to federal financial crimes tied to operating a prostitution business at the same site.
