TAPPAN, New York — Tappan neighborhood stays silent the day after FBI searched the Slocum Avenue and found a bomb weighing over 200 pounds. It was detected in Paul Rosenfeld’s basement.
There was no one at home at that time, when officers were about to enter the red-colored house. The house was all normal decorated with flowers and pumpkins. No one knew that would be found.
The suspect is held without a bail following his arrest on accusations that he was creating the bomb to blow himself up in the National Mall in Washington D.C.
All neighbors declined to talk about Rosenfeld and refused to give any information about him. However, a couple from New Jersey decided to go to that city and explore, just out of curiosity.
The quote that they said at first was – ‘ It is a craziness in today’s age and day.’ Linda Clark said ” Why would someone want to hurt so many people? What does that solve, of course – nothing. The man needs help.”
The house was bought for $255,000 by Rosenfeld in January 1998 with his wife Mary Ellen Lovrin, also known as Mary Ellen Rosenfeld, and his brother, David Rosenfeld, according to a deed on file with the Rockland County Clerk’s Office.
The house is assessed at $153,600 with an estimated market value of nearly $307,000. Rosenfeld and his wife bought out David Rosenfeld in 2008.
The trio moved from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey.
