bombs exploded at five different locations killing two people and injuring two more. police finally named the suspect as 23-year-old mark anthony conditt. as authorities closed in on him, he blew himself up along the side of a texas highway. in july 2017, a man sent a package bomb to a police officer in queens, new york. the officer s landlord opened the package and was killed. the suspect was charged with using a weapon of mass destruction. shep? shepard: and they re easier to track. yes. if you look back at unabomber, ted kaczniski, they improved it over years. it was difficult to establish patterns because the attacks were few and far between and investigators never had an exploded device. so if not for the manifesto and his brother recognizing the writing, the unabomber may have been at large for many more years. in case of the austin bomber,
pretty good. remember when the british experts concluded that a book was written by j.k. rowling? rowling came forward and confessed. and then there was primary colors telling of a clintonesque presidential candidate. news week columnist joe kline admitted to writing the book. sometimes it doesn t take a pro. the manifesto written by ted kaczniski was identified by his brother because of his writing style. bottom line here, most of the odds makers and the bookies think the mystery of this op-ed will be solved by monday, next week sometime. shepard: trace gallagher. thank you. 17 years after the twin towers fell, the brave men and women that rushed to ground zero are still dying. coming up, jon stewart on the news deck with two heros of 9-11
stunned. my assumption is they would be they knew nothing. they re the nicest family as you could look to have. i don t understand the motivation. neil, you mentioned his roommates. they re cooperating with authorities. they re being questioned. so now really the race is on to make sure that there were no accomplices, that he acted alone, to make sure that there are no additional packages that are out there and the big one, neil, as you said, trying to determine motive here. what on earth would have caused him to do this. back to you. neil: amazing, casey. thank you, my friend. this is nonstop reporting for you. great job. on the phone right now, james fitzgerald. he was part of the team that tracked town the unabomber. remember ted kaczniski? that took decades to resolve. very good to have you, james. what do you think authorities are going to learn from that
of all the cases i ve ever worked, particularly to the bombing community, almost always there s some type of motive found. may take awhile to find it like with the unabomber, ted kaczniski, but there s almost always a motive. the case is not over yet by any means. just starting with the search, his life will have to be matrixed out as far as any other associated or what other influences he s had that could have caused him to go to these lengths. neil: and we know that initially the lengths, at least in the very beginning, involved dropping packages at two key individual s homes. so that was by design. the homes were a target. that are we to make of that now? with the trip wire later on that widened this probe out. what are you to make of that?
something-year-old mane that suffered serious but not life threatening injuries. now the austin statesman is reporting that authorities may have found a second unexploded bomb at the very same goodwill. if that proves accurate, that would be the fourth bomb found today and the second one to explode. the first explosion as you mentioned happened earlier at a fed ex center in schertz, texas. we confirmed another bomb was found in sunset valley, which is an austin suburb. mike mccall says the video from the sunset valley fed ex store may show this suspect. that is critical because this bomber is on a rapid clip. consider that ted kaczniski was behind 16 bombs over 18 years. texas has seen seven bombs in 18 days. the rate of the attack is starting to accelerate.
