| John Patrick Tomkins |
DUBUQUE, Iowa — Federal authorities have arrested a Unabomber copycat — sort of. Investigators say John Patrick Tomkins, 42, is the man behind a series of bomb threats dating back to 2005. Tomkins allegedly mailed threatening letters and unarmed pipe bombs to several Midwest investment firms. Police say in his correspondences Tomkins would refer to himself as "The Bishop" and that he would demand certain stocks be dropped to a specific price. In one letter he sent to Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell & Co. of Chicago, he allegedly wrote, "The only reason you're alive is I didn't attach one wire." Authorities say they traced the letters to Tomkins, a U.S. Postal Service employee, by tracing bomb-making materials he had purchased with his credit card. Serial Killer Story Of The Week:
CRIME LIBRARY — Marybeth Tinning was a familiar sight in Schenectady's trauma centers. She usually came running into one of the city's emergency rooms, confused and hysterical, typically with one of her eight children cradled in her arms, either dead or near dead.
The medical staff knew Marybeth well. Some hated her. Others felt great sorrow and pity for her. That's because from January 3, 1972, the day her daughter Jennifer died, until December 20, 1985, when Tami Lynne was found dead in her home, all eight of Marybeth Tinning's children died suddenly and usually without any rational explanation.
Marybeth, now sixty-four, faced the parole board in New York with some support from very unusual sources.
