Ex-Boyfriend of Missing Girl Indicted for Arson, Arrested in Florida
Tuesday, March 24, 2015
"He (Crozier) was indicted secretly," said Timothy J. Connolly, Director of Communications for Worcester County DA. "The grand jury voted and the indictments were handed up and the judge sealed them. And then we sought a warrant for his arrest. It's a serious felony."
Crozier, 28, has been indicted on charges of Arson of a Dwelling and Conspiracy.
According to Connolly, Crozier was arrested in Florida last week for a misdemeanor. He will go to court in Florida on April 10 and will return to Worcester shortly after.
"When a person has fled the jurisdiction, sometimes it takes time for the warrant to catch up with them," said Connolly. "He (Crozier) has waived his right for extradition to come back to Massachusetts."
On January 1, 2015, a fire occurred at Crozier's home at 11 Dixfield Street. Fire officials deemed it arson. A sign on the home was offering a $5,000 reward for anyone with information as to how it burned down.
According to family members, Hatheway lived with Crozier at the Dixfield Street residence. Worcester County Courthouse records revealed that two weeks after Crozier's home caught on fire, the Worcester Police were at Crozier's home to gather evidence of arson.
“Everything I own is gone. I had spent every dollar and dime I had on renovating that home for my grandmother," said Crozier.
Hatheway has been missing since December 20. According to the U.S. Department of Justice National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, Sabrina "was last seen with her ex-boyfriend whose house burned down January 1, 2015 and deemed arson."
Crozier told GoLocal that on the night of December 20, he and Hatheway were at a party at a friend's house. Crozier said, "We were there, we got drunk. A friend gave us a ride home. We went inside and I passed out. When I woke up in the morning, she was gone."
According to Worcester Courthouse records, Crozier was charged with assault and battery on a family/household member on December 4, 2014, a little over two weeks before Hatheway disappeared.
Sabrina Hatheway is 23-years-old, 5'3" and 120 pounds, with dirty blonde/brown hair. If anyone has any information regarding Sabrina Hatheway, please contact the Worcester Police Detective Bureau at (508) 799-8651.
