We suspect it is related to our investigation,” Lee said. If the FedEx incident is confirmed to be linked to the Austin blasts, it would represent a new method of delivering bombs by the suspect(s).
The first two bombs were placed in cardboard boxes outside the victims’ home. It was not shipped in the mail via FedEx or the postal services. I understand that a motion sensor was used to detonate the bomb. The third bomb was left on side the road in a neighborhood in Austin. It was detonated by a “trip wire.” The third bomb may have used another level of sophistication but other details led authorities to suspect it was sent by the same serial bomber.
