Authorities in Lafayette are reportedly continuing their investigation into a bombing earlier this month that left a couple in that town seriously injured. Officials have said that the woman's ex-husband is a person of interest, but no arrests have been made and there's no word on what the status of the investigation is currently.

In the meantime, police have not been shy about going public with a lot of general information, even though there have been no criminal charges of domestic violence or any other kind filed. Media speculation about the case is running rampant and the former husband has had to, in essence, go to ground to avoid the public eye.

The alleged bombing happened on Jan. 7. Authorities say 44-year-old Allyson Stone and her 59-year-old husband, Christopher, were just heading out for a drive to Boulder when the bomb went off in her lap. They say they had found the package with their names on it on their porch as they were leaving.

While the woman reportedly suffered burns to her arms, legs and hands, she was listed in fair condition at the time this post is being written. Her husband was treated and released.

A top officer with the Lafayette police says that officers did seek out and try to speak with Stone's ex husband after the incident. Officers say that when they went to his home, he refused to speak with them, in keeping with his rights.

Police say evidence gathered in connection with the case so far has now been sent to the appropriate labs for analysis but could take weeks to process. They say they are looking at DNA and fingerprints that were found at the scene. They also say they are getting help from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Court records indicate a history of tension between Stone and her ex-husband. Some charges of domestic violence were leveled against him in 2003, but most were dismissed and he was acquitted of one remaining allegation.
