Two Georgia men who bombed woman’s home planned to unleash python to ‘eat victim’s daughter’: prosecutors

Two Georgia men allegedly set off a bomb at a woman’s home and plotted to have a “python eat the victim’s daughter,” according to prosecutors.

According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Georgia, Stephen Glosser, 37, and Caleb Kinsey, 34, allegedly used an explosive device that blew up part of a woman’s home on Jan. 13, 2023. Authorities said that no one was injured in the explosion.

Prosecutors argued that the pair used their cell phones to “create a plan to kill, intimidate, harass, or injure the victim” by terrorizing her.

Their sordid plans included their intent to, “shooting arrows into the victim’s front door, acquiring and releasing a large python into the victim’s home to eat the victim’s daughter, mailing dog feces or dead rats to the victim’s home, scalping the victim, and blowing up the victim’s home.”

Prosecutors said that Glosser met the victim earlier on a dating app, but the relationship did not materialize.

Authorities said that between December 2022 to January 2023, Glosser and Kinsey used electronic communications to stalk the victim “with the intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate.”

The indictment alleged that Glosser and Kinsey located the victim’s home using internet searches, mapped out a path to the victim’s residence, and then built an explosive device.

Authorities said that the pair built the explosive bomb that Kinsey purchased online.
