Excellent point. Of course!

But whose face would you look for? Did he look like this?

I don’t know any 24 year olds that have skill sets to make bombs.
I’m guessing he is ex military.

If you flee from police, they will kill you.

Attention bombers. If you flee from police, blow yourself up, THEN get shot.

What, exactly is your point?

Gov. Abbott was just on FOX - not ex-military. 2 roommates in Pflugerville cooperating, no job. Social media accounts intact, although bomber had ‘gone dark’ - made them harder for outsiders to access them.

Unless this guy was a register Republican or confirmed NRA member this case will get another crack Sessions’ DOJ investigation. The conclusion will be as clear as swamp mud.

With the label on the intact bomb they would know exactly when and where it was dropped off

Good thing he wasn’t smart.

Good thinking. He is identified via facial recognition, then all the cellphone carriers have to identify all the phones active on nearby cells at the time. But, still, they have already ID’d a suspect to look for. How?

Or, being not too bright, maybe he made it a lot easier for them — he put his own real name and address on the shipping form.

Not much expertise needed to make a bomb, complete an electric loop and you have boom! Parts available at any hardware store or Walmart.

No the GPs runs even if the phone is turned off, and so does the gps in your car. You are always tracked

"So has the 'White' been taken out of the perp’s description?"

Not likely, they need that to link him to the GOP.

Was he dropping off a package of the right estimated dimensions or weight?

The tracking number on the package that didn't go boom from yesterday would be my guess. Tracked to the exact time/place of drop-off. Narrows down the video image timeframe to a precise time, and they've got their best potential suspect standing there dropping it off. Other video outside the store likely captured the vehicle/plates.

“Police say they found the dead man unarmed...”

Well, he’d definitely been DIS-armed.

There is some excellent detective work not being disclosed here. They had to run through thousands of hours of footage at all the FedEx stores nearby. How did they know the guy on the video was the suspect? Was he dropping off a package of the right estimated dimensions or weight?

_____________

are you joking? with time and date which they would have it takes moments to find footage, they know exactly when every package arrives into their hands

recently I had to take something back to Walmart without a receipt. customer service went into a backroom and confirmed that I purchased the object last week on Tuesday. they had a picture of me purchasing it and gave me store credit.
