Bomb threat emailed to Moline school connected to after school ‘Satan Club’

A threatening email referencing a bomb in Jane Addams Elementary School in Moline was sent on Thursday, according to Moline Police Chief Darren Gault. The email “expressed frustration over the existence of the After School Satan Club.”

The email was sent to various email addresses belonging to Moline schools, along with several locations in Virginia, around 8:45 a.m. on March 2. The reference to the Moline school was misspelled in the subject of the email, as “Jane Adams Elementary.”

The Moline Police Department “takes all threats seriously and investigates each one thoroughly,” Gault said in an email to News 8. The department sent a team to investigate and found no evidence of a bomb at the elementary school.

Schools across the county have been targeted in the past few weeks and the “After School Satan Club” seems to be a common thread, according to Gault.
