Authorities confirmed today that a pipe bomb sent to the home of a local oil executive was meant for his wife and not the executive.
Vennie Wolf, 58, was injured Friday evening when she opened a shoebox-sized package that shot out shrapnel and nails.
As they continued to chase down leads, officials today said they believed the incident in northwest Houston was an isolated one. But they refused to discuss the investigation’s progress or why Wolf may have been targeted by the bomb.
"It’s an ongoing investigation," said Rob Elder, assistant special agent in charge at the Houston office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which is looking into what happened along with the Houston Police Department.
The package had arrived outside Wolf’s home in the 2100 block of Seamist Court a few weeks earlier.
Authorities do not think the package was brought there by the post office, but they’re not saying where it came from.
...The shutters were drawn at the home Wolf owned with her husband, James Brock Moore III, and no one answered the door today.
Moore did not return a phone message at Adams Resources Exploration Corp. where he has been president since 1998.
The bombing caught the interest of the national media, too. During a monologue Monday, conservative pundit Glenn Beck speculated the bombing could be the work of unspecified "radicals." He also suggested the mainstream media was purposely avoiding reporting on it...

I'm sure the Unabomber targeted the wives of industrialists too.
Beck is wrong. It was probably an old Oilers fan that finally got his revenge!!
Time to call in the Criminal Minds crew!

Or Horatio Cane and his CSI Miami crew...They’ll have this case solveed in about 45 minutes to an hour...They always do!!!
I hope Cane remembers to bring his sun glasses.
...He (Beck) also suggested the mainstream media was purposely avoiding reporting on it...
