Police have recovered a 45-minute recording of the bombing suspect confessing and describing the six bombs he constructed.

There’s the manifesto Gitana was looking for...

MORE: "What was the motive? What was the reason? Sometimes we can’t assign reason to irrational acts," Chief says. "This was a very troubled young man…There were also indications about actions he was willing to take in the future."

Can I just say a big thank you to leyash and arkansasmimi for your contributions to the thread! Leyash this is unfolding in your neighborhood, and I do hope you take care of yourself. I know I would be freaking out, but you have helped us understand so much about the area and I appreciate that!

And Arkansasmimi - thank you for all the MSM links!

Outside of the tape, none of which is disclosed in the story, there's nothing new here. But still a good recap. #AustinBombings

What makes a person decide to create bombs and start dropping them off at random houses, setting up trip wires and mailing them?
No motive, no reason? Depressed, bored? Psychopath? Most bombers have a message, a manifesto even.

Manley: Officers following #AustinBombings suspect decided to stop him on frontage road of I-35. Stopped vehicle, APD officers approached & banged on windows. Then video shows “tremendous explosion” and officers “fall back from the blast,” he says.

“We have, at this point, located a recording that the suspect in this incident made. It is about a 25 minute recording where he talks about what he has done. I would classify this as a confession.” #Austinbombings

You are a kind-hearted, compassionate lady, leyash. And living so close to all this, I can understand why you might have more compassion than those of us who are further away and not impacted by what has been occurring in your “neighborhood.” All the ”what ifs” may start creeping into your thoughts, too. You be sure to take care of yourself, and pull away if you need, or share your thoughts with us if it helps. I suspect it is a form of PTSD, but that's just my guess. If it overwhelms you too much, you may want to talk to a therapist a few times.

Thank you for sharing the photo. It does reinforce the reality in a way news articles can’t. To actually feel our friends’ hurting because of this ... I wish I culd wrap you in a big hug. :grouphug:

Thank you. :heartbeat:

I just have to know what was ailing him. I really hope they release the recording (doubtful though). What was going on in his head? When did he decide that this was the answer? Was he on medication? Ever diagnosed with mental illness?

So many questions. What led to this? I just want to understand, though I don't think I ever will because the rational side of my brain will always take over and say, "But you could have done THIS, or THAT.... not kill people!"

STOP with the race stuff. This is NOT about race!!!!

#UPDATE #AustinBombings Police recovered a confession on suspect’s phone where he describes bombs he constructed & talks about their differences. No mention of terrorism or hate. Police: “It’s the outcry of a challenged young man talking about the challenges in his life.”

It's so weird to hear it worded like this. It makes me curious what he said. Not a word about why? How could he confess to such a terrible crime and at the same time talk about how hard his life is? It makes me think he didn't have a whole lot of self-awareness.

Moore: This could never be called a happy ending, but it’s a damn good one for the people in Texas. I’m proud to be here today to say we got it done. #austinbombings @KXAN_News

• So. how did investigators finally track Conditt down to a hotel in Round Rock late Tuesday night? Senior law enforcement officials told NBC News that Conditt turned on his cell phone at some point, alerting police to his location. After leaving the hotel in his car, Conditt pulled over into a ditch and blew himself up as Austin police and SWAT closed in on him.

Agree Leyash,

There's a motive in this story, it just hasn't been discovered YET. I think with enough digging the picture will become
clearer on WHY he did this.

Wonder when was the last time he spent time with his family? His grandmother?? His Aunt???
His sisters???
Maybe he walled himself off as he spiraled down into his dark pit. Wonder what his roommates would say about his
behavior. Surely with enough questioning officals can paint a better picture of what happened to him.

Makes me believe he was a psychopath. Well, we all have hard times in life but many of us do not create bombs and kill others.

Maybe he had to turn phone on to record his confession. ??

Infuriating! Innocent people died.
He is a coward.

Certainly a Sociopath, at least. Deadly cruelty to others but poor me. Introverted some say. Quiet some say. Deep thinker some say. Does things his own way some say. Fired for what reason?? Does not sound well adjusted to me.
