Police officers happened upon Lonnie Coffman's truck on Jan. 6 just blocks from the Capitol and discovered it was equipped for war. Coffman, a 70-year-old Alabama man with no criminal history or known extremist ties, represents the worst nightmare for law enforcement: an apparent lone wolf who operated completely under the radar. "These are the people who keep law enforcement up at night," said Clint Van Zandt, a former FBI criminal profiler and an NBC News analyst. "I used to go to bed thinking, 'Did I do everything I could? Have I looked for this? Have I looked for that?' But what do you look for in a guy like this?" |
