Suspected Austin bomber Mark Conditt used the alias “Kelly Killmore” to ship two packages via FedEx on Sunday, one of which exploded on a conveyor belt at a shipping facility in Schertz, Texas.

Sources familiar with the investigation told ABC about the Killmore alias. ABC also published photos from FedEx’s surveillance system allegedly showing Conditt in the store.

“We have, at this point, located a recording that the suspect in this incident made,” Austin Police chief Brian Manley told reporters at a press conference. “It is about a 25 minute recording where he talks about what he has done. I would classify this as a confession.”

Conditt killed himself with an explosive device as a SWAT team closed in on him late Tuesday night. One SWAT member was injured in the blast.
