do work OT.

He owned a home in Pflugerville, TX (right outside Round Rock) and it was refinanced on October 30, 2017 with Churchill Mortgage Group out of Brentwood, TN. He must have been a big Dave Ramsey guy.

Absolutely no criminal record -- not even a speeding ticket.

Born 6/16/1994 which makes him ALMOST 24.

Sources are telling our ABC affiliate in Austin, @KVUE, that the serial package bomber has detonated himself.

If he isn't Middle-Eastern, that's a pretty Middle-Eastern way to die.
