I wonder if this package was left at a "donation drop-off" at the Goodwill? I know at the ones around here, they have a spot outside where you can just drop off a box of clothes or whatever you are donating and never have to go inside.

If that is the case, it could have been left at any time today and someone who works there may have gone out to bring the donations in for the day, picked it up, and set it off.

I have seen it in use, it is pliable, can be shaped for directing the force in a direction.

Oh my goodness apparently I have lived quite a sheltered life!!

I have never seen stuff the new york bomber used played with pressure cookers or used machine guns for recreation

The loudest boom I have heard was not reaching for Gas X quickly enough!!

goodness gracious!!

what a boring life , it seems , I have led!!!

I am glad in a way we don't know the names. Lots of reasons mostly Media.

Oh, I agree. There's some things that probably should not be released, however, I must admit, I am very curious to see if he's making a pattern. Someone up-thread had mentioned the Mailbox Bomber, who was making a smiley face, that could be seen from the air. I am very interested in his pattern.

The Goodwill possible new bombing is literally a straight shot down the road. 3.5 miles but a straight shot down Brodie Lane. It sure sounds like it could be related to the other bombs.

My goodness. How awful this is becoming.


"3.5 miles due south on Brodie Lane from the FedEx shipping store that authorities say the serial bomber used to ship two recent packages from."

Was this last one caught anyplace on camera ? If LE has video footage of the bomber, they should show it to the public. Also, who were the packages addressed to ? Actual people ?
