Cesar Sayoc, the suspect accused of sending pipe bombs to well-known Democratic officials, their supporters and CNN, reportedly is related through his mother to the family that owns Randazzo’s Clam Bar on Emmons Avenue in Sheepshead Bay.
One of Sayoc’s Brooklyn relatives, who was not identified by name, told the Daily News that Sayoc “did not come off as the type of person who would ever hurt somebody or send bombs.” Nevertheless, the same relative recalled Sayoc as struggling with mental illness and living a bizarre and eccentric lifestyle.
Sayoc was born in Brooklyn in 1963 but moved to Florida after his father, a Filipino immigrant, abandoned the family, the News reported.
