Suspicious Package Sent To John Grisham
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia - Authorities are investigating a suspicious mailing - initially thought to be a bomb - that was sent to bestselling author John Grisham at his farm in Albemarle County.
"It appeared to be a potentially explosive device," said Lee Catlin, a spokeswoman for the county. "But a state police evaluation determined it was not a functional explosive device."
County fire marshal Bob Lowry said Tuesday the large envelope was placed in Grisham's mailbox Saturday but was not delivered by the U.S. Postal Service.
The envelope was taken into the house with the rest of the mail and someone in the Grisham house noticed "something suspicious" through a small opening in the envelope, Catlin said. Grisham called police.
The fire marshal's office and county police responded and examined the package, then called the Virginia State Police. The state police responded with a bomb dog and several technicians from the bomb squad.
Grisham's lawyer, Patricia McGraw, said Grisham "has no idea who's behind this and will have no further comment."

So...It remains a mystery...No one knows who sent it...No one will say what was actually IN it, or whether they even OPENED it...And John Grisham refuses to comment about it...

Actually, Stephen King has had MANY 'psycho fan incidences'...Enough to inspire him to write 'Misery'...He really was afraid that something like that might happen to him someday...He even had nightmares about it

Havent seen a posting from them in a while on the threads... Avenger was a mod...A lot of shit happened...It got pretty ugly...he got sick of it and left...He has been back about 2 or 3 times in the last 3 months, but he didn't post much...
Moonsorrow is on for at least a little while, almost every day (usually overnight/early morning)...But, he doesn't post nearly as much as he used to...
Ritualistic left for a while...But, you have probably noticed that she has been back around lately, which I, personally, am pretty happy about
Horror doesn't really come around at all, except to post reviews and update the front page
That's about all I got for now:)

It's no surprise, considering some of the schlock he's put out as of late.
