RICHMOND HILL, GA — Imagine this: a quiet Georgia night shattered by an explosion, a python slithering through your home, and a deranged stalker behind it all. That’s the nightmare one woman and her daughter endured, thanks to 38-year-old Stephen Glosser, who’s now staring down 20 years in federal prison after his sick plot unraveled.
Glosser’s obsession with the Richmond Hill woman turned deadly on January 19, 2023, when he detonated a homemade bomb that tore through her house. But that was just the start. Prosecutors say he also slipped a massive python into her home, hoping it’d attack her daughter, fired arrows into her front door, mailed dog feces and dead rats, and even plotted to “scalp” her. This wasn’t random chaos—he’d scoured the internet for her address, mapped his route, and ordered bomb parts online like it was a shopping list.

The blast left the house in ruins but miraculously spared its occupants. Afterward, Glosser scrambled to cover his tracks, hiring a cleanup crew to scrub explosive residue from his own place. Too late. Federal agents pieced it together, and on February 21, 2025, a judge slammed him with a no-parole, 20-year sentence, as announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Georgia. State charges still loom once he’s out—if he ever gets that far.
Locals are reeling, and the victim’s left picking up the pieces. “He tried to destroy us,” she reportedly told authorities, her identity shielded for safety. As of February 23, 2025, Glosser’s locked away, but the question lingers: what drives a man to such madness?
