A Friday morning house explosion in Defiance, Missouri, killed 4-year-old Julian Keiser and 6-year-old Jamison Keiser. Local schools were closed for bad weather, so the boys were home. Their mother, Evelyn Turpiano, and grandparents escaped, but the boys couldn’t be saved.
First responders came fast but faced tough flames. Chief Dan Casey said, “The fire stopped them from finding the kids right away.” The boys died despite the firefighters’ efforts.
Neighbor Sharon Oberlag heard the blast. She called the boys “the nicest little boys” who loved school. “They thought school was great,” she said, showing how much joy they brought.
