FBI Lab Conclusion

 RE: Alleged pipe bomb functionality and the builders intent that the device not function. (Circa 1995-1996)

FBI Lab Conclusion [Document Link Here] 

Evidence Used in Langan Trial & Notes/ Response from Peter Langan:

A.) FBI Report Notes Concerning fake CNB Pipe Bomb as Evidence in Langan Trial  [Link to Document Here]

Peter Langan says: “This Fake Device was glued together so that it could not be modified in the field to function even if the mixture was explosive, which it was not!”  Handwritten notes on this document were penned by Frederick Whitehurst, FBI Whistle-blower. 

B.) FBI Report Notes concerning Pipe Bomb #3 Found in Van.  [Link to Document]

Peter Langan says: “This device (Pipe Bomb #3) was recovered from Chevy Van. It was handled by the same bomb squad that did CNB Device (see previous blog). The same Render Safe Procedure and Neutrex gun/slug used. This real Pipe Bomb #3 went off and the fake device from CNB did not because it could not!" 

C.) Items Recovered Subsequent to Arrest of Peter Langan [Link to Document]

Peter Langan says: “Note items 1 - 11 with particular attention to item 6 which is listed as two items (unknown white powder and smokeless powder). Question: How did they know it was smokeless before they got it to the lab and it was mixed together at crime scene so how was it separated if it was?

Also very important point – documents states “It was shipped via UPS.” Does UPS ship smokeless powder or explosive mixtures now or in 1996?

Also, the Blue Revolver becomes silver hang gun at the trial!”
