Authorities are on the hunt for a man suspected of setting a home on fire with six people inside, including four children.

According to investigators, John Gibbons set his own home on fire knowing family members were inside before taking off in a black Mercedes convertible. He was last seen in North Fort Myers, but investigators believe there is a chance he could have fled to Georgia.

If you have any information, call Crime Stoppers at (800) 780-8477 or submit a tip online.
