Panaca Explosions: Few Suspected Violence From Suspect

The suspected bomber who killed himself in an attack targeting his former boss in a rural Nevada town had a series of setbacks in both his personal life and at work.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that despite the setbacks, those who knew Glenn Jones best say they never expected such a violent end for the former nurse from a small Colorado town. Jones is suspected of setting off bombs on July 13 in Panaca inside the house of his former hospital supervisor and in a car outside. He was killed in the attack.

Jones' third ex-wife Sue Ellen Hogan says she left him because she was scared of him but did not believe he was capable of violence. She says she loved Jones but he had a temper.
