Arizona man killed in mysterious explosions in small Nevada town

LAS VEGAS — The man who traveled to a quiet Nevada town and set off bombs that killed him and showered debris across the community was an Army explosives veteran and suffered from depression after the deaths of his wife and mother, a former neighbor of the suspect said Friday.

Glenn Franklin Jones died Wednesday night in the blasts in Panaca near the border with Utah after detonating a bomb in a rental car outside a house also destroyed by explosives just after a woman and two girls inside fled for their lives.

Jones used to live in Panaca and helped build the house that was destroyed in the blast and owned by his former co-workers Joshua and Tiffany Cluff, the former neighbor, Dennis Sanders, told The Associated Press.

Authorities have not disclosed a motive but a hospital administrator said the three previously worked together at the Grover C. Dils Medical Center in the neighboring town of Caliente, where Joshua Cluff was Jones' supervisor.
