New details have emerged about Matthew Livelsberger, the Green Beret who detonated a bomb inside a Tesla Cybertruck outside a Las Vegas Trump hotel on Wednesday. According to a close friend of Livelsberger’s first wife, Sara, the bomber exhibited troubling behavior during their marriage.
Stacie Wilssens, a retired psychiatric nurse, described Livelsberger as “unstable, misogynistic,” and “emotionally abusive” towards Sara. Wilssens claims Livelsberger felt threatened by Sara’s strength and independence, and was not supportive of her personal growth.

The couple’s differing political views also caused friction. While Sara held liberal views and actively campaigned for Democratic candidates, Livelsberger was a staunch Trump supporter. This ideological clash further strained their relationship.
Wilssens believes that Livelsberger’s personal struggles, rather than political motives, may have been the driving force behind the bombing. She points to the breakdown of his first marriage, a subsequent troubled relationship, and the recent departure of his second wife as evidence of his deteriorating mental state.
Livelsberger’s Recent Relationship Issues
Following his divorce from Sara, Livelsberger dated Alicia Arritt before marrying Jennifer Davis. However, Davis reportedly left him shortly after giving birth to their child due to infidelity concerns. Livelsberger even reconnected with Arritt shortly before his death, sending her a surprising text about renting a Tesla Cybertruck.
Motive for the Bombing Remains Unclear
Despite the disturbing details emerging from Livelsberger’s past, a clear motive for the bombing remains elusive. Authorities are still investigating the incident, and have not ruled out any possibilities.
The bombing comes just days after another veteran, Shamsud Din Jabbar, used a rented Ford F-150 truck to mow down pedestrians in New Orleans, killing 14 people. Both Livelsberger and Jabbar were former soldiers with connections to Fort Liberty in North Carolina, and both used ride-sharing apps to rent vehicles for their attacks. While investigators have not found any links between the two incidents, the eerie similarities raise troubling questions.
This developing story highlights the importance of mental health awareness and support for veterans.
