As many as five agents were around the house in the 50 hundred block of Knox. Early on agents had interviewed others who lived in the split ranch house. It is a very private setting with a six foot tall wood fence around a shaded back yard. This neighbor, who asks we not identify him, said the house had revolving occupants who lived with the owner.
Neighbor: "Never met him. I've seen him, I guess, come and go but never actually met him, no."
Dan Verbeck: "There are a number of people who live in that house?"
Neighbor: "At different times, yes."
Sarah Mendez had her 5-month-old son in a baby stroller going past the house. She was unaware of the law enforcement interest, at first.
Mendez: "That is really surprising. And really scary."
Neighbors we talked with never had an extended conversation with house occupants, never a mention of a controversial subject.
