Box left at woman's door explodes (Home owned by oil company exec)
KTRK - ABC Houston ^ | Saturday, July 10, 2010 | Erik Barajas

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Local and federal investigators were at a northwest Houston home Friday night where an explosion sent a woman to the hospital.

The woman was opening a package left at her doorstep in the 2100 block of Seamist Court Friday evening. She had found the shoe-sized box in front of her home about a day ago but didn't decide to open it until around 6:30pm Friday.

~~~SNIP~~~

The woman was transported to Northwest Memorial Hospital with facial injuries that are not life-threatening.

Officials with the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, as well as the Houston Police Department's homicide and bomb squad were at the scene investigating.

It wasn't immediately clear whether the house was targeted, however, Eyewitness News found out the home is owned by an oil company executive.

Get a load of this headline in houston about the box bomb. They don’t even bother mentioning that the home belonged to an oil exec....and it’s just a ‘surprise package explosion’..like it was a ‘gift’ gone awry or something. Nothing to see..move along.

First thing I do whenever I get a package is check the return address and find out who ordered something recently.

Mr. mm is no target but you never know when Al Queda is going to try something like that.

If she was suspicious of it, she should have called the police or FBI, especially considering her husband’s line of work.

Rubbish! Do you think for one minute they would ‘downplay’ this story if it was an abortion clinic? The answer is no. If the press thought for one minute this was the act of a Tea party or conservative person..it would be all over everywhere!

Don’t kid yourself.

It is very curious that they left out which oil company. I would think the opposite though....that it was a BP exec. It will eventually come out in the ‘new media’ what happened.

I don’t know, I was thinking that the connection would be more obvious if it was BP. The fact that they are claiming some doubt about the woman being a target makes think that it might be another oil company. It’s just a guess, though. Maybe I am giving the media too much credit for integrity.

I'm going to take a psychic guess or two here, since people are speculating...

I'm feeling that it might have been the house of James Brock Moore III, president of Adams Resources Exploration Corp.

I'm also getting that this was at 2102 Seamist Court in Houston, TX, and a name "Vennie E. Wolf" is also coming through. Hmmm...very strong feelings there...I think she might have been the one to open the package.

But yes...James Brock Moore III is also close to this.

Please let me know if any later info confirms or contradicts my visions. Thanks.

I recommend getting a nice cute animal to put nearby when you open it, so if it explodes, you can get the animal-rights folks at the throats of the envirowackos.

Washington Examiner has the story now, so it’s growing legs whether the old media wants it to or not. Thanks for posting the info you found. Headed to read it now.

If someone had not turned him in, he still would have not caught. So long as he wasn’t bombing abortion clinics, the authorties did not give a damn.

So she receives a package but didn’t open it for several weeks because she didn’t know who it was from. This story sounds so fishy.

I am a woman and if I suspected something no power on earth would make me open that box. There goes your argument. ;)

I'm a woman and I agree with Ditter. ;-)

I have to certify in the Anti-Terrorism course every year due to my chosen livelihood.

If I don't know who a package is from, I'm not touching it. If I see one unattended somewhere, I get as far away from it as fast as I can.

Good work, but how are James Brock Moore and Vennie Wolf connected? Did she go to his home to take a look at the package?

If that doesn’t do anything, you can drag it down a flight of stairs, or just drag it along a bumpy sidewalk for a while.

You can tell curious neighbors that you're just out walking your bomb.
