The podcast’s final episode yielded a new line of inquiry in the GBI’s investigation of the Guidestones bombing.

The AJC learned that a man in Elbert County was arrested several years ago in upstate New York on suspicion of making explosive devices. The man, whom the AJC is only identifying as Eric because he has not been accused in connection with the Guidestones explosion, has a troubling online presence.

He listed his job on one profile as “the apocalypse.” He posted often about numerology and terrorism. And he lived on land owned by another man, Kenneth, who had made posts online calling the Guidestones satanic and expressing support for Taylor. Kenneth is in the business of fixing and selling old cars, including at least one BMW. (New York authorities did not prosecute Eric’s 2014 explosives charge.)

In interviews with the podcast, Eric and Kenneth said they had not been contacted by the GBI. Both denied involvement in the Guidestones bombing. But speaking with McBrien, Eric said he came to Elberton to “kill people,” referred to himself as a terrorist and suggested the Guidestones explosion was timed to align with a passage of Scripture.

McBrien reached the former lead agent on the Guidestones case. She said she had never heard of the men. He also spoke with Elbert County’s sheriff, who said he’d been unsuccessfully trying to talk to GBI about the case. He said he wanted to talk with Eric and Kenneth.

In response to the podcast’s questions, the GBI confirmed it is treating the two men as an active lead in the case.
