After seven months, it’s still a mystery how a pipe bomb made it into a contract worker’s truck at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.
The bomb was discovered Nov. 2, triggering a lockdown and trapping employees at the plant for hours. Investigators soon ruled out the pickup’s driver, but have been unable identify a suspect.
“They’re basically at a standstill,” said Deputy Lindsey Smith, a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman.
The investigation was expected to close by the end of last week.
The Sheriff’s Office report, released before the investigation was completed, shows there were no fingerprints on the pipe bomb discovered in Roger W. Hurd’s truck.
The investigation focused on relationships in Hurd’s work group, according to the report.
One employee had been fired for sexual harassment a couple of weeks before the incident, while there had been some complaints about management and pay.
