Overview

  • Daniel Jongyon Park, 32, was pronounced dead on June 24 after falling from an upper-level balcony at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles.
  • He was accused of supplying Guy Edward Bartkus with 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate in January and another 90 pounds days before the May 17 bombing that killed the clinic bomber.
  • FBI agents recovered a bomb-making recipe at Park’s home that closely matched the one used in the 1995 Oklahoma City attack, cementing its classification as domestic terrorism.
  • The explosion destroyed the American Reproductive Centers facility, shattered nearby windows and injured at least five people while stored embryos emerged unscathed.
  • Authorities are examining Park’s movements, including a prior deportation from Poland, to uncover any broader extremist or anti-natalist affiliations.
