Man Who Blew Up Palm Springs Fertility Clinic in Deadly Explosion Left Behind Chilling Writings

The man authorities allege set off a deadly car explosion outside a California fertility clinic left behind chilling online writings, according to multiple news reports, which cite authorities.

Guy Edward Bartkus, 25, was identified by the FBI’s Los Angeles field office as a suspect one day after the bombing that killed him and damaged several buildings in Palm Springs on Saturday, May 17.

Palm Springs police described the incident as an “intentional act of violence,” per a previous press release. Police said the blast originated from a “vehicle explosion at 1199 N. Canyon” — which is the address of the American Reproductive Centers (ARC), a facility that performs services including IVF and egg freezing, according to its website.

Akil Davis, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, told the Associated Press that Bartkus left behind writings that supported “nihilistic ideations.”
