The prime suspect in these attacks is Robert Manning, a JDL member who is also considered a prime suspect in the murder of [[Alex Odeh]]. In 1994, Manning was convicted of an unrelated non-political murder, that of computer company secretary Patricia Wilkerson in California, in July 1980, and sentenced to life in prison. In October 2023, Manning was granted parole. He was released from prison on July 24, 2024.<ref name="ADC 2023-10-05">{{cite press release |url=https://adc.org/alexodehupdate/ |title=Important Update: Alex Odeh Investigation |language=en |location=Washington, D.C. |accessdate=2023-10-06}}</ref>
