On this day, April 4th, in 1975, Benita Diorio was fanning fumes in attempt to save her clothing from burning flames. When the police arrived at the Miller resident, Miller refused to be handcuffed and was charged with resisting arrest. Luckily, the charges were dropped the next day and Miller was set free. Diorio’s clothing, however, was gone with the wind.
