6 missing after fire destroys $9M Maryland mansion

Six people are missing after a $9 million mansion in Annapolis, Maryland, burned to the ground early Monday.

It took 85 firefighters about four hours to bring the blaze under control, WJLA reported.

The mansion is owned by technology executive Don Pyle. It is believed he had been at home with his wife and four grandchildren.

Officials said the fire started on the second floor of the 16,000-square-foot home. The cause of the fire has not been determined, but fire officials believe the house could be considered a crime scene.
