Ind. Courts - Still more on: Unsolved Tippecanoe County Courthouse bombing nearly ten years old
Updating this ILB entry from May 29th, Sophia Voravong of the Lafayette Journal Courier reports today in a story that begins:
In less than two weeks, the person who drove an explosives-laden pickup truck into the Tippecanoe County Courthouse -- causing extensive first-floor damage -- will have gotten away with the crime.But Sheriff Tracy Brown is confident that, even after a 10-year federal statute of limitations for arson and related crimes expires on Aug. 2, investigators will continue to search for the suspect or suspects.
"There is a strong desire on our part, and on the community's part, to find out what happened," he said earlier this week. "I don't know if it ever will be a completely closed case."
For more than a year now, the sheriff's department has intensified its efforts with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to find the person or people responsible for the attempted bombing on Aug. 2, 1998.
