Independent journalist Lara Logan informed CDM of a possible story of domestic terror in Gillespie County, TX, where a man was apprehended with a van full of explosive pipe bombs.

With the election approaching, and unknown operatives likely placed strategically in-country by bad actors, this story deserves to be followed up on in order to find out any connections this suspect had developed to other terror groups, or foreign entities.

The press release is below:

On Wednesday, October 16, 2024, at approximately 10:00 a.m., Gillespie County Sheriff’s Office deputies conducted a search and inventory of a U-Haul box truck in the GCSO impound lot. While doing so, the deputies encountered several suspicious devices of a threatening nature. At that time, the San Antonio Police Department Bomb Squad was notified to make the location. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and San Antonio Fire & EMS also responded. Once an onsite investigation was conducted, it was determined that the suspicious devices were too unstable to transport.

Due to the unknown nature and threat of the suspicious devices, steps were taken to ensure public safety by sealing off the area with the assistance of the Fredericksburg Police Department and Fredericksburg Fire & EMS, and with the assistance of Fredericksburg Public Works, and County Commissioner Pct. 4, an onsite safety zone was constructed. Several explosive devices were removed from the U-Haul. A few were detonated within the safety zone, and others were rendered safe by the bomb squad. Numerous ammo cans of ammunition, a handgun, and body armor were also located in the U-Haul. The area was deemed safe at approximately 8:00 p.m., and all agencies remained on the scene until around 10:00 p.m. before wrapping up operations.

The search and inventory of the U-Haul stemmed from an arrest that occurred on Friday, October 11, 2024, at around 9:30 a.m. GCSO deputies had received information of a wanted person who might be traveling through Gillespie County in a U-Haul box truck. The person driving the U-Haul was wanted out of Washington for the theft of over $400,000 worth of coins and precious metals. Deputies located the U-Haul near the 6700 block of South US Highway 87 and contacted the wanted person, who was arrested on a larceny-theft warrant. He is identified as Zachary Richardson Rhyne, 46, of Cathlamet, WA. This is still an ongoing investigation, but he remains in the Gillespie County Jail and additional charges are pending. GCSO deputies had located the coins and precious metals before encountering the suspicious devices.

Our sincere appreciation to all the agencies involved for their cooperation and their rapid and effective response. Also, to the citizens who were inconvenienced or displaced, we appreciate your understanding.
