After nine months of silence, the offer of a million-dollar bounty and a massive search of the farm of a convicted eco-saboteur, the Dawson Creek Daily News received another letter Wednesday afternoon purporting to be from the Tomslake pipeline bomber.

Daily News general manager Dan Przybylski said the paper notified the RCMP of the correspondance and hoped it was a hoax.

"I believe everyone in the area was hoping that the person involved had made their point and had moved on," he said.

Six bombings, between October 2008 and July 2009, targeted the wellheads and pipelines of the energy firm EnCana in the area around that northeastern B.C. community, and triggered a controversy-dogged, ongoing investigation led by the RCMP's elite national security unit INSET. No one has been injured in any of the incidents.

The fourth letter warns "Time-out is over!!" and says a "long and "hot" summer is coming."
