Police said an electrically triggered bomb blew up about 8:15 a.m. in the Judge Building, killing stockbroker Steven Christensen, who had once owned a controversial Mormon document. About three hours later, another blast at a subur ban home killed a woman who apparently discovered a bomb intended for someone else, authorities said. “We’re following some leads we are privy to right now," said Police Chief Bud Willoughby, whose investigators were being assisted by the FBI and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol and Firearms. Police asked business associates of Christensen and the owner of the home to evacuate their houses Tuesday afternoon while they were sear ched for bombs. Salt Lake Coun ty Sheriff Pete Hayward said. Police Lt. Bill Gray said at least eight bomb threats involv ing other buildings in downtown Salt Lake City had been reported, but none was determined to be valid. The home belonged to Gary Sheets, a business consultant who authorities said once work ed with Christensen. Christensen. 31, had become well-known for obtaining the "Salamander Letter,” contain ing a contemporary account of the translation of the Book of Mormon, and then donating it to the church. Police evacuated two floors of the Coordinated Financial Center Building, a block away from the Judge Building. Sheets is chairman of Coordinated Financial Service. Police said the first blast was triggered by an electrical timer connected to high explosives. The bomb contained nails and other shrapnel, Gray said. Et al.
