Two men from Georgia are now facing serious federal charges following a violent campaign against a woman, which included the detonation of an explosive device at her home in Richmond Hill and sinister plots involving a python and other alarming threats. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, the accused, Stephen Glosser, 37, and his roommate Caleb Kinsey, 34, executed a bombing on January 13, 2023, the day after the targeted woman and her daughter moved in, as part of a harrowing stalking operation.
The stalking began in December 2022, where Glosser and Kinsey engaged in various discussions with intentions stretching from firing arrows at her door to mailing repulsive items to her home, scalping was also on their list of terrifying prospective acts and even plotting to unleash "a large python into the victim’s home to eat the victim’s daughter," as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta. The extensive planning included purchasing Tannerite online to produce the bomb which caused significant destruction, resembling the aftermath of a severe tornado, even so the woman and her daughter narrowly escaped harm, found fortunate to be at the opposite end of the house during the attack.
The authorities detailed the chilling circumstances, including the victim's prior acquaintance with Glosser via a dating app and the calculated efforts to locate her residence. Bryan County Sheriff Mark Crowe expounded on the severity of the situation, stating, "It was a deliberate act. It could have easily hurt or killed somebody," highlighting the close call experienced by the family. Bryan County Sheriff's Office added, "Thankfully the family was able to get out of the house with no injuries," in a social media post cited by CBS News.
Following their arrests in 2023, the duo remain in custody, indicted on multiple charges including stalking, conspiracy to use an explosive to commit a felony, possession of an unregistered destructive device among additional charges for Kinsey related to firearm offenses, they potentially face decades behind bars with the conspiracy charge alone carrying a penalty of up to 20 years in prison, both men could face another 10 years for the explosive charge according to federal officials.
