Short of turning himself in, suspected mail bomber Cesar Altieri Sayoc Jr. could not have done more to get caught.
The clues that investigators followed to his gaudy white van in Plantation reveal that he either ignored or failed to consider all of the ways he was laying a trail for them.
He left a fingerprint on one of the packages he is accused of sending. His DNA was found on two of the bombs. By itself, that was enough to put feds on his trail, and everything else fell together quickly from there.
Here's how investigators were able to find their man - one person in a population of 327 million - in a scant five days after the pipe bombs began showing up.
The packages
The first suspected package turned up Monday, addressed to George Soros, a billionaire philanthropist who has supported Democrats. It was intercepted, but the number of packages grew on Tuesday. One to Barack Obama. One to Hillary Clinton. Another to former CIA Director John Brennan.
All targeted prominent Democrats, and all bore a return address to South Florida congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former head of the Democratic National Committee and a frequent target of conservatives.
Immediately South Florida was at the center of the investigation.

(9,037 posts)This inability to deal with reality is contagious and getting out of hand.
I suppose if he was a REAL conservative he would have never been caught, because they are all geniuses.

(3,736 posts)...so he began his decent into deplorability in 2016, well before the general election, well before the republican selection of a yuuuuggge mistake.
We are so very prescient.
In reality, an odd man, prior perhaps, but not out of the range of socially tolerable, becomes totally radicalized in two years, solely by the trumpshit infection of a badly behaved mis-leader and his badly behaved, even deplorable, followers.

(51,636 posts)That van would have a ton of DNA (his hair and skin) in it. Did he work alone? It seems almost impossible to do all of that in that little van while you are living in it.

Can't find it, of course.

(51,636 posts)in a filthy, congested van with only three sources of fingerprints and DNA then he wasn't such a dummy after all. His former employer, who rode in his van once, described its interior....

Don't get me wrong some people do have mental health issues, but I'm tired of this lame excuse every time the perpetrator is a white guy.
