mankiewicz with deadly intent. detectives trying to figure out who would want to kill mild mannered connie hoagland were hitting nothing but dead ends until they got a call from the business partner of connie s husband, larry. i says, hey, i found bombmaking instructional videos and internet searches on our office computer. and i didn t make the searches. it seems larry had been looking for some unusual things on the internet. we looked at the stuff that he had looked at, and then it was like, wow, this is the exact same bomb that we found. but they found more than just a list of incriminating websites. during the search we find love letters between him, larry hoagland, and a woman by the name of lee ann. the highly moral, god-fearing church leader had been cheating on his wife with a woman who lived across the country. lee ann. what did she tell you?
has graduated high school. looking back, the childhood they described was one of stability and routine. just a normal, happy family, i d say it would be. mm-hmm. we go to church on sundays, we d have movie nights or family vacations that we had taken, usually disneyland, which is our favorite. everything was just as a family. everything was perfect. they loved each other and they had a great marriage. exactly. the patriarch of the hoagland family, larry, was a leader in their church and a professional photographer who can be heard off camera gently directing his children through these precious kodak moments. dad! that was good. keep going. i always remember getting sick of it because i just wanted to have fun and we always had to pause and take a picture, which kind of got annoying after a while, but looking back, it s nice to see the picture, i guess.
friend. connie was laying on her side, curled up in a ball. i rolled her over. there was glass, there was shrapnel, there was shards of metal everywhere. everywhere. teddy knew all the hoagland family s cell phone numbers and she was the one who broke the news. i was driving, and she said that there was an explosion and my mom s truck blew up. so i immediately pulled over, stopped, and called my dad, asked him what s going on. what do we do? what did he say? he said, i just heard, too. i don t really know all the details. the hoagland family gathered at uc san diego medical center where connie had been taken for emergency surgery. we got to quickly see her rushed from the hallway into surgery. it was probably ten seconds. and i just remember telling her, i love you, and her being awake but kind of being out of it. and then, that was it.
there from anywhere in the world and set it off. we have breaking news. a bomb squad investigates a suspicious object in rolando. taking no chances they sent in a robot to disarm the bomb. fire in the hole! a firefighter was then put in one of those famous suits to make a final safety check and found the cell phone detonator had 18 missed calls. only a broken wire had prevented the bomb from going off. we re like, wow, this is for real. police ran the phone numbers, of course, but they belonged to untraceable throwaway phones, available almost anywhere. the bomber or bombers had left no trace of themselves. no fingerprints, no dna. the only real clues were found on the fed-ex envelope, duct tape and soot, suggesting the bomb might have fallen off of the underside of a car. and so, two weeks later, when connie s truck blew up at the
the more baffling occurred four days after the bombing, when a large fed-ex box was delivered to this san diego area high school addressed to one of their students. his name? jonathan hoagland. that got san diego s bomb squad scrambling. and it got the town s attention. coming up connie hoagland, wife, mother and survivor. i remember coming out to the truck, put in the key and then, kaboom. and the police told me, this bomb was meant to kill you. but who was trying to kill her? when dateline continues. years. for a great low rate, and nearly 60 years of quality coverage, go with the general. before you go there, or there. start here. walgreens makes it easy to stay protected wherever you go. schedule your free covid-19 booster today.
