In Florida, an arsonist-for-hire made a critical mistake after allegedly setting fire to a residence. He left investigators a big tip, the tip of his finger! While investigating, police discovered evidence of accelerants, leading them to determine that the fire was likely arson. Then, while continuing their search they found a piece of a latex glove with the tip of a finger inside! Turns out it belonged to 24-year-old Ismael Ortiz, who they found at a local hospital missing a finger tip.  Ortiz quickly confessed. Detectives are now searching for the man who hired Ortiz to burn down his house and tried to pull off an insurance scam. So how did Mr. Ortiz lose his finger tip? Apparently, while trying to flee after setting the fire, he slammed his finger in the door and it cut the tip of his finger off. Ouch!
