1. Unlikely he had "help", he certainly had encouragement.

When you live in a van you probably have a decent amount of free cash flow as you most likely aren’t paying rent. Not saying there is anything glamorous about living in a van.

My first thought is yes he had help.

The labels on the packages, where did they originate? Don't look like the ones from a self service postal machine. Home computer?

Unless he's got a super duper mad genius set up in that van where were the bombs assembled? Mommy's house?

If only he'd lived down by the river we could resurrect that old Chris Farley "Live in a van, down by the river" character.

The coordinated mail deliveries, most within a 30 hour time window, suggest multiple drops to multiple postal sites that would be impossible for Sayoc to execute. There are also variations in the construction of the bombs that show different skill levels.

might be fun, but can be counter productive. Speculation leads to conspiracy theories, and those get "proven" when the official story doesn't match the speculation.

The experts are working on this.
