ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - Police in Aspen, Colorado say a man theywanted to question in two bomb threats that forced the evacuation
of much of downtown on New Year's Eve has been found dead.
Aspen police officer Stephanie Dasaro says the man, Jim
Blanning, was found dead early Thursday in rural Pitkin County,
which includes Aspen. She couldn't say how he died or exactly where
his body was found.
Police cleared a 16-block area of the resort town Wednesday
afternoon after two banks reported receiving bomb threats and
packages wrapped in holiday paper. Police also found clear plastic
boxes containing holiday wrapped packages and pizza boxes on a
black sled in a downtown alley.
Police released surveillance tape from one bank showing
71-year-old Blanning and asked the public to help find him.
