PFLUGERVILLE, Texas (KXAN) – Investigators questioned two people Wednesday who were close to serial bomber Mark Anthony Conditt, his roommates.
A parent of one of the roommates said she did not suspect Conditt was linked to several bombings that killed two people and injured four others.
Jennifer Withers says her 26-year-old son had recently moved into a new place owned by Conditt in Pflugerville. It was a renovated three-bedroom house with two other roommates.
She said a family friend told her son about a vacant room at the house located at 403 North Second Street that was being leased. Her son soon moved in about three months ago.
“It seemed fine,” said Withers.
But, her fear grew after receiving an early morning phone call, saying the FBI was arresting her son. Austin police confirmed they took both of Conditt’s roommates in for questioning. During that time, Withers said FBI agents told her son to remain anonymous.
