FBI Joins Investigation to Find Bomb Threat Caller

According to a Marietta Times article, the FBI has joined the search for the man responsible for five bomb threats in two days.

The man placed the calls, which threatened Marietta Memorial Hospital, Selby General Hospital, the Marietta Wal-Mart, the Marietta Comfort Inn, and Marieta College, on what is being called an, “untraceable cell phone.”

The man, with an apparent speech impediment, called the Washington County Sheriff’s Office each time, simply stating that there is a bomb at the site, and then repeating himself and hanging up.  The calls can be heard by going to the Marietta Times website

All locations were swept by bomb-sniffing dogs and local police, but nothing was found.  The calls have been deemed hoaxes, so there is no immediate threat to the college or any other site.
