(Allegheny County, PA) A federal judge sentenced two men from Pennsylvania to life in prison yesterday after they were convicted of mailing a woman a bomb that detonated, killing her and leveling her home.

There was an explosion and fire at a home in Clearfield, Pennsylvania on October 4th, 2019, and inside the leveled building, police found the body of 34-year-old Shanna Carlson.

The federal agents and their partners with the Pennsylvania state police and the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office identified and indicted two suspects, a methamphetamine dealer, Clint Addleman and one of his customers, Kris Nevling.

They testified in court that they built a bomb and mailed it in a package that was addressed to Carlson, who owed Addleman a drug debt of $1,000.

The agents confirm that Carlson opened the package and inadvertently detonated the bomb, which killed her and leveled the building.

Both suspects were indicted by a federal grand jury and were charged with maliciously destroying property with an explosive device, and Addleman was charged with destruction resulting in death.
