A woman accused of setting fire to an abortion clinic weeks away from opening in Wyoming was arrested Tuesday after a nearly yearlong search.

The Department of Justice said Lorna Roxanne Green, 22, of Casper, was taken into custody by Casper police and agents with the FBI and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. 

Green is believed to be the suspect caught on camera setting the Wellspring Health Access Clinic in Casper on fire on May 25, 2022. The clinic, which was set to open on June 12, 2022, was supposed to offer OB/GYN care, gender-affirming care, and abortion procedures, the DOJ said.

Casper is Wyoming's second-largest city and is the site of frequent protests against abortion. The building was being renovated and would have been the state's only full-service abortion clinic.

On the day of the fire witnesses told authorities they heard glass breaking and saw a person leaving the area with a gas can and a black bag in hand, Casper police reported.

Security footage released approximately a month later showed a woman in a hooded shirt and mask carrying what appeared to be a red fuel can through the building just before the blaze. No one was injured, but the clinic sustained smoke damage and broken windows, which has delayed its opening.

A few weeks ago on March 3, Casper police announced that an anonymous donor in the community was contributing an additional $10,000 to the ATF's $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Casper police Lt. Jeff Bullard encouraged community members with information to come forward, adding that the "reasons" for starting the fire need to be disregarded because people were put in danger.

"It’s important to recognize that, regardless of the target or their reasons for starting the fire, the arsonist(s) put members of our community in direct peril," Bullard said. "First responders, including firefighters, police officers, and paramedics, were immediately exposed to the dangers of extinguishing the fire and preventing its spread to neighboring buildings. Additionally, the residents and tenants of the occupied apartment complex, mere feet from the arsonist’s fire, were callously placed in harm’s way."

Tips then started to come in, and authorities were led to Green.

"Now that a suspect has been arrested, we can continue our singular focus on providing quality reproductive health care to the Casper community in a safe, compassionate environment," Wellspring President Julie Burkhart said in a statement to The AP.

The clinic's grand opening was delayed to April 2023 but is now in limbo after Gov. Mark Gordon allowed a new law banning abortions in most circumstances to take effect without his signature on Sunday. The only exceptions are cases of rape or incest that are reported to the police, or if a woman's life is at risk.

The AP reported Teton County District County Judge Melissa Owens suspended the ban for at least two weeks on Wednesday after those in favor of abortion rights said the law is harmful to pregnant women and their doctors during a hearing. 

They also said it violates the state constitution, citing an amendment that says adults in Wyoming have the right to make their own healthcare decisions. Republicans fired back by enacting a ban that states abortion is not healthcare.

Green is scheduled to appear in federal court in Cheyenne on Thursday.

If convicted, she faces a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 20, and a fine of up to $250,000.

A genetic study conducted on locks of Ludwig van Beethoven's hair revealed more details about the composer's death at a relatively young age in March 1827.

The University of Cambridge biological anthropologist Tristan Begg, the lead researcher in the study "Genomic analyses of hair from Ludwig van Beethoven," which was published in Current Biology on Wednesday, said eight strands of hair attributed to the German musician were tested in hopes of explaining potential underlying genetic and infectious causes of his illnesses.

It was already known that Beethoven, who died at the age of 56 from a protracted illness, began losing his hearing in his 20s and was functionally deaf by his mid-40s. He was also known to have experienced severe abdominal pains and chronic bouts of diarrhea since he was 22.

Though the study did not find a primary cause for his hearing loss or gastrointestinal problems, it shed light on other health issues the composer experienced during his lifetime.

Five of the eight strands of hair tested were found to be "perfect genetic matches" and were deemed "almost certainly authentic," the study said, allowing researchers to determine Beethoven had a genetic predisposition for liver disease – something that was thought to have contributed to his death.

The testing also discovered that the famous composer had a hepatitis B infection during the months prior to his death, at the least.

Researchers concluded that his genetic predisposition and heavy alcohol consumption presented "plausible explanations" for Beethoven's severe liver disease.

During the study, researchers also came across an unexpected result as an analysis of Y chromosomes from five living members of the Van Beethoven patrilineage compared with the DNA from Beethoven's hair revealed a mismatch in paternal ancestry generations before his birth.

"This finding suggests an extrapair paternity event in his paternal line between the conception of Hendrik van Beethoven in Kampenhout, Belgium in c.1572 and the conception of Ludwig van Beethoven seven generations later in 1770, in Bonn, Germany," Begg wrote.

The study also debunked a forensic investigation completed in 2007 that suggested lead poisoning could have sped up his death, if not the primary cause for the symptoms that ultimately claimed his life.

Though lead poisoning was probable due to drinking from lead vessels and medical treatments of the time that used lead, the hair used to complete that study nearly 16 years ago was found to have come from an unknown woman, not the composer.

Researchers said the hairs used in the study were gathered from public and private collections during the last six years of Beethoven's life.

Following Beethoven's death on March 26, 1827, various researchers and medical professionals studied the cause of his hearing loss – something the composer requested in writing years prior.

He initially wanted his favorite physician, Dr. Johann Adam Schmidt, to reveal his health struggles to the public, but Schmidt died before Beethoven.
