Boom! Boom! Boom! See you later, unsub. Why? What was different about this one? Before Now, he didn't have to use a powder that fine. Clurman passed out, all he told cops at the time He didn't have to use threaded caps, and he was that he saw the package sitting on the stoop didn't even have to use a steel pipe, and it would outside his kitchen door. have been a whole lot safer if he hadn't. Why didn't he take it in? Why didn't it go off until But the bomb wouldn't have been nearly as he got to his car? It's like 50 feet away. deadly. Joe Reese, one of Clurman's investors, was here So what does that tell you about our unsub? He's before the bomb went off. one sick puppy? To say the least. The cops have ruled him out as a s suspect, but One sick puppy that aims to kill. he said he saw Clurman get in the car with the Not scare, not vandalize, or make some kind of package. political statement.
