Hi, everybody

Here is the scenerio : A couple bought a brand new house. Six months after moving in, the marriage fell apart, the husband got kicked out ( restraint order ). Before he left, he threated his wife that he will burn the house down. Sure enough, a couple of week later, it burned down! Fire marshalls concluded that it is an arson. The wife never mentioned her husband's threat to the authority. The Husband, on the other hand, had an iron clad alibi (according to the Police department ). The investigation ran to a dead end and nobody is charged for the crime. ( By the way, the wife is at her workplace during the fire ).
My question is: Does the insurance company have to pay them ( about $500,000) knowing full well that this is an arson even though nobody got caught???
