PHOENIX - A valley man accused of burning down his estranged wife’s home confesses on camera.  Gary Noel says his wife left him for another woman and he just wants to understand why.

“She took everything I had. She broke me,” said Noel.

Fire crews were called out to his estranged wife’s home Saturday, after Noel broke into the house and set her bed on fire.

“I saw all her girlfriend’s things in the bedroom. That’s when I decided I would go ahead and burn her bed,” said Noel.

Noel is charged with arson and burglary.
