Thomas Matthew Crooks, the Pennsylvania man who killed a bystander and seriously wounded two others in a failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, had no friends as a teenager and used the alias “Bob Dole” while ordering suspicious packages before an anonymous donor paid for his body to be cremated, according to federal documents viewed by Fox News Digital.

The records turned over to the Senate show Thomas’ actions were a surprise to his family, and his motive is still a mystery.
Crooks, 20, typically collected packages addressed to the Dole alias before his father, who worked late, came home.
He was shot and killed after opening fire at a Trump rally in July 2024. A family attorney told investigators that he had been cremated shortly thereafter — paid for by an anonymous donor, according to the documents.
