Ex-Boss Describes Bombing Suspects’ Dad As Big, Tough, And Quiet

ERIC LACH APRIL 19, 2013, 4:51 PM 739
SOMERVILLE, MA — Jerry Siegel, the manager of Webster Auto Body in Somerville, Mass., didn’t realize at first that he knew the father of the two men suspected of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing earlier this week.

But he quickly found out in the chaos of the past day that his former employee, Anzor Tsarnaev, was the pair’s dad.

“I thought that he was an uncle of those kids and it ended up that he’s the father,” Siegel, 54, said Friday.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, have been identified as suspects in the bombing by the FBI. The older of the two sons died after a shootout with police early Friday morning, while the other remained at large.

According to Siegel, their father worked at Webster as a “body man” for a little while in 2004 or so. Siegel hasn’t seen Anzor in years, and said he thought the father was working out of “some garage” now. However, the suspects’ uncle said on Friday that their father had moved to Russia with his wife about a year ago, according to the New York Times.
