Google MapsMap of Conditt’s home and the explosions.
Mark Anthony Conditt died after detonating a bomb while police were trying to detain him in Round Rock. He is the suspected serial bomber that had been leaving bombs in Austin since March 2, killing two people and injuring more. His home was later identified as being in Pflugerville, a small city just north of Austin, located between Austin and Round Rock. How close is Conditt’s home to the explosions? Above is a map of every bomb, where Conditt died, and where his home was located. Below are maps and locations for each specific incident.
As you can see on the map above, Conditt died far north of where every other incident happened, including north of his home. It’s unclear why he was that far north. His home, on the intersection of 2nd Street North and West Wilbarger St. in Pflugerville, was actually quite close to the very first bomb on the 1100 block of Haverford Drive. Many people suspected that his first bomb might have been in an area he was more familiar with or in an area near where he lived, and it appears those theories were correct.

Conditt’s Home Was in Pflugerville
Conditt lived in Pflugerville at the intersection of 2nd Street and West Wilbarger Street. He lived about 20 miles north of downtown with two roommates. His roommates were detained and questioned by police, and one was later released. Conditt’s parents also lived in Pflugerville and they have been cooperating fully with the police. The map above is an interactive map showing the approximate location of Conditt’s home. He would need to drive down W. Pecan Street to get to 35, which would take him to the locations where he planted the bombs and where he was found at the hotel. Conditt and his father, William Conditt, bought the house together in 2017 and Mark was working on remodeling it.

Conditt Died on I-35 After He Was Found at a Hotel in Round Rock
Authorities traced Mark Conditt’s car to a hotel in Round Rock, near Pflugerville. Some sources say he was at the Red Roof Inn in Round Rock and others say he was at The Woodsprings Suites, right next door off I-35 South. You can see an interactive map above showing where he was.
Red Roof has said in a statement that the suspect was not staying at their property and did not have a car on the property. Here is the statement provided to Heavy: “Red Roof has been actively speaking and working with all law enforcement authorities on this case. Based on the information provided by law enforcement, the suspect had no association with the Red Roof property. He was not a guest at the Red Roof Inn Austin — Round Rock, nor were he or his vehicle on the property. It is business as usual at the Round Rock property.”
The suspect left the hotel when SWAT surrounded it. He was followed and he drove into a ditch off I-35, detonated a device in his car, and was killed. One police officer was slightly injured in the explosion. Here’s a photo showing where the hotels are on a map. The hotels are north of Pflugerville and north of Austin, just south of the Round Rock Premium Outletts, just north of the intersection of 45 and I-35.

House was transported to Round Rock Hospital, where he later died. Before the second and third explosions happened, police had not ruled out the idea that House had made the bomb himself and had been investigating his death as suspicious. It’s now considered a homicide. House had previously faced charges in Travis County, but House’s brother, Norrell Waynewood, told Heavy that there was no way this was the case and the explosion happened in front of House’s daughter while he was getting ready to take her to school.
