Bomb-making suspect had white supremacist literature along with explosives according to unsealed records

BEAVER DAM (WKOW) -- Neighbors say they're shocked over what was found inside a Beaver Dam apartment that led to the whole building being torched. The explosives found in the apartment were "highly volatile,” so much so the authorities could not manage to safely destroy the samples and had to bring the entire building down in a controlled environment. Unsealed Dodge County court search warrant records show state justice department division of criminal investigation agent Kevin Heimerl found thirteen medium sized jars of potentially "...finished TATP explosive material" in the apartment refrigerator. WKOW-TV reports Heimerl says containers labeled TATP were also recovered from an apartment garage. In the unsealed court records, Heimerl described the scene in the apartment as a "homemade explosive laboratory," with instructions found on the manufacture of homemade explosives. "Within his bedroom, literature has been found concerning white supremacy groups," Heimerl stated in justifying search efforts of Morrow's lap top computer and electronic devices. Investigators found finished explosives in Morrow’s unit, as well as bomb-making chemicals, timers, gunpowder and instructions on how to make explosives, the newspaper reported. He was an associate scientist at Pharmaceutical Product Development (PPD) Inc.’s Middleton location for more than three years prior to his job with Richelieu Foods in Beaver Dam, where he worked for 10 months before he died.
Newly released documentation reveals Benjamin Morrow, a man killed by an explosion on March 5 in his home in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, possessed white supremacist literature, five guns with ammunition, boxes of binary explosives, jars of explosive TATP, and a small explosives manufacturing laboratory.
