From The Binge, Crime Scene plunges you into stories you can’t stop thinking about—revisiting cases that deserve a second look.
As authorities close in, bombing suspect Mark Anthony Conditt manages to disappear, once again leaving law enforcement on edge. Soon, however, they track him down to a hotel parking lot just north of Austin, where they begin to carefully plan a tactical takedown. Yet when Conditt realizes law enforcement is everywhere, he decides to run, forcing an intense confrontation.
Investigators follow new evidence that leads them to the identity of the Austin serial bomber and they make a plan to apprehend him. A roommate of the Austin serial bomber opens up in detail about what it was like living in a home where bombs were being built right under his nose.
A day after the fourth bomb detonates, a fifth bomb explodes – this time at a FedEx sorting facility just outside of Austin. Two more bombs are discovered at other shipping facilities in the Central Texas area. Diffusing these bombs leads to a major break in the investigation.
As terrified Eastside residents meet with leaders of the Austin community, the 600 plus local and federal authorities working around the clock on the case now grapple with a lack of leads. After a series of bomb threats shut down a concert at SXSW, the crisis grows even more intense when a tripwire bomb detonates on Austin’s southwest side, crippling two college students and putting a whole section of the city on total lockdown.
