that he inflicted on ░░░░░░░░ Let s get to ░░░░░░░░ chief correspondent Jonathan hunt ░░░░░░░░ s live in Round ░░░░░░░░ Texas a suburb of ░░░░░░░░ where the suspect died ░░░░░░░░ talk us through how ░░░░░░░░ tracked this guy down ░░░░░░░░ was an extraordinary and ░░░░░░░░ effort by federal and ░░░░░░░░ law enforcement They got ░░░░░░░░ big break when he ░░░░░░░░ in to the Fed ░░░░░░░░ store in the sunset ░░░░░░░░ suburb of Austin We ░░░░░░░░ there yesterday clearly there ░░░░░░░░ than a dozen ceiling ░░░░░░░░ cameras in that store ░░░░░░░░ of those caught pictures ░░░░░░░░ him wearing the wig ░░░░░░░░ the gloves Investigators were ░░░░░░░░ to get a positive ░░░░░░░░ D On him from ░░░░░░░░ They were able to ░░░░░░░░ the vehicle he was ░░░░░░░░ they were able to ░░░░░░░░ his cell phone number ░░░░░░░░ then trace those two ░░░░░░░░ came together here outside ░░░░░░░░ red roof inn in ░░░░░░░░ Rock in the early ░░░░░░░░ of this morning He ░░░░░░░░ had that cell phone ░░░░░░░░ on For some reason ░░░░░░░░ source tells me that ░░░░░░░░ turned the phone back ░░░░░░░░ That is when the ░░░░░░░░ realized that he was ░░░░░░░░ at the red roof ░░░░░░░░ behind me They moved ░░░░░░░░ they found him in ░░░░░░░░ vehicle As they were ░░░░░░░░ for a swat team ░░░░░░░░ started driving away The ░░░░░░░░ team was arriving about ░░░░░░░░ same time they moved ░░░░░░░░ they pinned the vehicle ░░░░░░░░ it was at that ░░░░░░░░ that mark Anthony Conditt ░░░░░░░░ the suspect has been ░░░░░░░░ to us detonated some ░░░░░░░░ of explosive in the ░░░░░░░░ That is apparently what ░░░░░░░░ him Although there was ░░░░░░░░ shot fired at that ░░░░░░░░ by one of the ░░░░░░░░ nearby That vehicle which ░░░░░░░░ what we could see ░░░░░░░░ an old model Nissan ░░░░░░░░ was towed away a ░░░░░░░░ hours ago from the ░░░░░░░░ Towed with a large ░░░░░░░░ escort That will be ░░░░░░░░ that the investigators will ░░░░░░░░ pouring over very closely ░░░░░░░░ they search for more ░░░░░░░░ in this case trace ░░░░░░░░ Going forward Jonathan what ░░░░░░░░ the latest on the ░░░░░░░░ Right now the investigation ░░░░░░░░ centered on the town ░░░░░░░░ pfluegerville That is where ░░░░░░░░ Conditt lived He had ░░░░░░░░ roommates there They have ░░░░░░░░ been questioned One of ░░░░░░░░ we still believe is ░░░░░░░░ being questioned by police ░░░░░░░░ have apparently both been ░░░░░░░░ They are not considered ░░░░░░░░ this point suspects in ░░░░░░░░ Police are also questioning ░░░░░░░░ family members Also we ░░░░░░░░ told being cooperative They ░░░░░░░░ by the way sealed ░░░░░░░░ a fairly large area ░░░░░░░░ pfluegerville in the vicinity ░░░░░░░░ mark Conditt s home ░░░░░░░░ logic would tell you ░░░░░░░░ that they re concerned ░░░░░░░░ there might be explosive ░░░░░░░░ either in his home ░░░░░░░░ in the immediate surrounding ░░░░░░░░ As the governor of ░░░░░░░░ said today they re ░░░░░░░░ over every part of ░░░░░░░░ online presence Listen here ░░░░░░░░ did not destroy his ░░░░░░░░ foot print He went ░░░░░░░░ He closed down access ░░░░░░░░ his accounts that made ░░░░░░░░ more difficult to tap ░░░░░░░░ it But I think ░░░░░░░░ s a treasure trove ░░░░░░░░ information in his house ░░░░░░░░ well as the digital ░░░░░░░░ that should shed light ░░░░░░░░ who he is what ░░░░░░░░ was doing why he ░░░░░░░░ doing it Now one ░░░░░░░░ the things that they ░░░░░░░░ looking at online is ░░░░░░░░ blog that was written ░░░░░░░░ someone calling himself mark ░░░░░░░░ in 2012 In that ░░░░░░░░ the writer criticized gay ░░░░░░░░ and abortion We do ░░░░░░░░ know at this point ░░░░░░░░ that
