GA Men Sent Python To Eat Victim's Child Before Bombing Home: Attorney

RICHMOND HILL, GA — Two Richmond Hill men have been charged after federal prosecutors said they released a large python into a person's home to eat their daughter before ultimately bombing their home.

Stephen Glosser, 37, and Caleb Kinsey, 34, used electronic devices and a "destructive device" to surveil the victim "with the intent to kill, injure, harass or intimidate'" them from December 2022 to January 2023, the office of U.S. Attorney Jill E. Steinberg of the Southern District of Georgia said Thursday.

Cell phones were used to fulfill this purpose through methods that included shooting arrows into the person's front door, retrieving and releasing the python into the person's home to eat their daughter and mailing feces or dead rats to the person's home, prosecutors said.

The condition of the person's daughter was not immediately known.

The duo also scalped the victim and blew up their home, Steinberg's office said.

"The indictment further alleges that Glosser located the victim’s home using internet searches, mapped out a path to the victim’s residence, and then with Kinsey, acquired and built an explosive device at Glosser’s home using Tannerite that Kinsey purchased online. The two then 'used a destructive device to blow up the victim’s home on or about Jan. 13, 2023,'" Steinberg's office said in the release.

Glosser and Kinsey were charged on suspicion of stalking, use of an explosive to commit another felony offense, conspiracy to use an explosive to commit a felony and possession of an unregistered destructive device, Steinberg's office said.

Additionally, Kinsey was charged on suspicion of false statement during the purchase of a firearm and possession of firearms by a convicted felon, Steinberg's office said.

If convicted of conspiracy, they face up to 20 years in prison, with an additional 10 years upon conviction for the charge of using an explosive to commit a felony. There is no parole in the federal system.

Steinberg's office said both Glosser and Kinsey remained in custody Thursday.
