(Richmond, IN)--Friends of one of the two victims who were critically burned in last week’s house explosion on Randolph Street in Richmond are indicating that she has taken positive steps toward recovery over the weekend.  Autumn Reed is reportedly now able to communicate by writing.  There is no word on the condition of the other victim, Forrest Tevis.  The investigation into the cause is continuing, although a gas leak is widely suspected.  It could take several days or even weeks before a cause is officially released.
