An Associated Press investigation has found since 1968, there have been at least 270 natural gas accidents in the U.S. that could have been prevented or made less dangerous by an inexpensive valve that cuts off leaking gas. At least 67 people have been killed and more than 350 hurt. Yet nearly 90 percent of the nation's gas service lines aren't fitted with the valves.

Human remains believed to be Appel's were found days after she called the Jefferson County 911 system, worried that smoke from a nearby wildfire in the foothills southwest of Denver. The Appel family said sheriff's officials told them Appel didn't receive an evacuation call because her property was listed at the wrong address in Morrison, where the family had never lived.
