Houston police and federal authorities confirmed Tuesday that a pipe bomb sent to the home of a local oil executive was meant for his wife and not him.
Vennie Wolf, 58, was injured Friday evening when she opened a shoebox-size package that shot out shrapnel and nails.
As they chased leads, officials Tuesday said they believed the incident in northwest Houston was an isolated one. But they refused to discuss the investigation's progress or why Wolf may have been targeted by the bomb.
"It's an ongoing investigation," said Rob Elder, assistant special agent in charge at the Houston office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which is looking into what happened along with the Houston Police Department.
Curiosity won out
The package had arrived outside Wolf's home in the 2100 block of Seamist Court a few weeks earlier.
Authorities do not think the package was brought there by the U.S. Postal Service, but they're not saying where it came from.
Wolf was hesitant to open the package when it arrived because she didn't know who it was from, officials said, but she later opened it out of curiosity.
Wolf was taken to Memorial Hermann-Northwest Hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. She was later released and is now recuperating, police said.
Speculation about the bombing has run rampant in Wolf's neighborhood, which neighbors said has always been quiet and safe.
Some neighbors said the box had arrived disguised as a box of chocolates, but police declined to confirm that.
The shutters were drawn at the home Wolf owns with her husband, James Brock Moore III, and no one answered the door Tuesday.
Moore did not return a phone message at Adams Resources Exploration Corp., where he has been president since 1998.
Wolf and Moore appear to have kept a low profile in Houston. The couple is listed in University of Houston records as making a small donation to the university's engineering program, which Moore graduated from in 1964.
About 30 anarchists with helmets and hoods went into the supermarketnear the university of Saloniki and destroyed the security system! They took the foodstuff from the shelves and also took the moneyfrom the cash desk and burnt it outside the supermarket!nobody arrested!!
