Investigators were seen at a home in Prince William County, Virginia. NBC Washington reported that the address is believed to be tied to Cole. The publication added that officials were at a home on Manor House Court in Dale City, about 30 miles southwest of DC. “Property records indicate a man with Cole’s name owns a home on the cul-de-sac,” the report added.

NBC Washington added that Brian Cole has a step-grandfather, Earl Donnette, who confirmed that he spoke with the DC bombing suspect over the phone. Cole’s father, Brian Cole Sr, is yet to comment on the arrest.

Brian Cole's neighbors said that they were shocked by his arrest.

“I never suspected anything nefarious going on at that house. I haven’t seen anything at all that would cause me concern," one person told NBC Washington.

“Nothing ever happens here. It’s like sleepytown.”

Another woman said that Cole seemed ‘antisocial’. “He’s very antisocial. Very. He keeps to himself," she told The New York Post.

“He has a dog that he loves. He walks every day, twice a day, to 7-Eleven with his dog, and he wears his headphones," she added.

“He seemed very quiet. He would never make eye contact. Almost like he just didn’t see you,” another neighbor told the publication.

It was not immediately clear what charges Cole would face. No official statement has been made about his suspected motive.
