Serial Bomb Threat Suspect Plaguing State Agencies in Thurston County, WA

 

OLYMPIA, Wash. - A man has made five bomb threats to state buildings in four weeks. Investigators believe it's the same man making those threats, and say they’re “narrowing in” on a suspect.

He called in the latest bomb threat on Thursday to the Attorney General's Office in Olympia.

Each time there's been no bomb but the threats are putting a huge drain on resources.

Here's the timeline of the threats:

Sept. 26 (Wed), 1:39 p.m. - Bomb threat call to the Attorney General’s HQ office in Olympia.

Oct. 3 (Wed), 3:03 p.m. – WA State Department of Health, specifically to the Washington Medical Commission.

Oct. 10 (Wed), 3:53 p.m. – AG’s office in Tumwater.

Oct. 17 (Wed), 11:10 a.m. – AG’s office in Tumwater.

Oct. 18 (Thurs), 11:31 a.m. – Suspect broke pattern and made another threat to the Attorney General’s HQ office in Olympia. Threat was to the exterior of the building so employees were told to stay inside and get away from the windows.   (KIRO 7 News, October 19, 2018)

Although probably unrelated to the bomb threats to government offices in Thurston County, there was a threat to Capital High School in Olympia on Friday, October 19, 2018. An image of a handwritten note shared on Snapchat read: “CHS School Shooting 10-19-18. Be Ready.”
