This newly released footage, from another camera near the old hotel, shows two men walking towards the building just moments before the fire was ignited. The men are not considered suspects.

"I would say within 10 to 15 minutes of their disappearance ... there is the start of an incendiary fire that takes place at the hotel," Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Stephen Limani said.

Police are hoping that they may have seen anything that could help the current investigation.

Authorities advised anyone who has information to call Tropper Vinkler at 724-832-3288.
