About a month after the arson, when an arrest still hadn't been made, Wisconsin Family Action announced a $1,500 reward to anyone with information about the arson. Now, the FBI has added on its own $25,000.
The Madison Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the FBI are investigating.
However, according to Bellingcat, a Netherlands-based news site, an organization called "Jane's Revenge" sent a statement claiming responsibility for the attack.
The statement reads, "This was only a warning. We demand the disbanding of all anti-choice establishments, fake clinics, and violent anti-choice groups within the next 30 days.
According to the Wisconsin State Journal, Madison Police spokesperson Stephanie Fryer said the department, “is aware of a group claiming responsibility for the arson at Wisconsin Family Action and are working with our federal partners to determine the veracity of that claim.”
However, the police did not confirm whether or not that group was Jane's Revenge.
