The photo's don't look anything like the ones posted earlier in this thread.

The bag carried by the man with white cap could easily be the bag by the postbox in other photos prior to the explosion.

If you are referring to the two men in black jackets and one wearing a Punisher skull hat that would be because both of those guys went to the FBI and spoke with them so that they could confirm that they where not involved.

Not sure what outlet had penned those guys but just before that FBI briefing all the outlets stated to imply what I had felt all along;That the FBI had not publicly released any photos until this 5 PM briefing.

Some had the man in the blue jacket also posted here and I also saw some showing a man running whose clothes had been torn by the blast.You know how it goes though people want to stir the pot now of course they will shut up at least about one thing.

I think that the video footage is more useful because people can see how they walk which is more useful than a simple photo.They say that every human has a distinctive gait much like a finger print though it would take a computer analysis to measure the person gait I understand that there are some projects developing this technology.

I think what the FBI looked for was people showing up at certain times and also certain body language.Notice in the video the two men they do not display the body language that you expect to see at a public gathering theirs is almost hostile unlike other people around them who are enjoying themselves.The spacing is also interesting to me they are close but not too close to each other.My guess is that they looked for this behavior first then tried to find those same faces in crowds in shots that where poorer but more expansive.You ID a suspect person in more clear shot then try to find in him somewhere else or in a certain place for example where the bombs where placed.That would be my analysis of what the agents that where involved in this part of the investigation did.

If you were carrying a pack and seen laying it down where the bomb went off and walking away, they might consider you.

One fact, these are great pictures and you know these two people have seen them. If they're innocent, they would want to step forward and clear their name. I think if no one steps forward soon, then it's them.

My guess is they will be identified quickly.

Speaking of beards does the suspect in the white hat have a Captain Ahab? It kind of looks like he does but it's hard to tell.

Armistead 04-18-13 06:54 PM

Looks like it on the better profile.

and no doubt there will be some profiling here, both look mid-eastern to me.

Sounds like you were disagreeing with me by saying the same thing I said.

It was in response to this post

Followed up to the post I originally quoted.

Maybe on the one in the white ball cap though he looks more Persian or Turick than Arab.The other man hard to say he could be anything from a white with a dark tone or a Hispanic or Arab or many other several other ethnic groups.

Reddit, which has been studying every angle of this case from the beginning, responded quickly.

Commenters on the Reddit thread seem confident that the image is not photoshopped,
though this question is still up in the air.

Book him Dano :yep:

You can see the second suspect in this picture, but it is copyrited.

You'll have to look for yourselves ... http://i.imgur.com/NFPlOCI.jpg

He's twenty feet behind the guy in the white hat on backwards behind the girl

These guys at reddit are something else ... 6,000 volunteers working on the case

Yes! I think that's him ... hard to tell, but the first man has no backpack.

Check this out the man that ID the suspect lost both of his legs, but ID him anyway: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-0...attackers.html

Jeff Bauman looked into the eyes of the man who tried to kill him.

Quote:


Just before 3 p.m. on April 15, Bauman was waiting among the crowd for his girlfriend to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon. A man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt looked at Jeff, 27, and dropped a bag at his feet, his brother, Chris Bauman, said in an interview.
Two and a half minutes later, the bag exploded, tearing Jeff’s legs apart. A picture of him in a wheelchair, bloodied and ashen, was broadcast around the world as he was rushed to Boston Medical Center. He lost both legs below the knee.

geetrue 04-18-13 11:34 PM

I took a close up of these two on my computer and the guy in the white hat is the same one the FBI is looking for,
but the one behind seen 23' feet behind him is more white than the first suspect the FBI showed ... plus he has what looks like a red coat on his arm.

But what if the first man has a fake nose ... I'm thinking this due to why wear a white hat?

eddie 04-19-13 03:07 AM

More trouble in Boston, shooting of a security officer at MIT, and sounds of gun fire, and what has been described as 2 loud booms. More bombs?

One down, one to go.

Vince82 04-19-13 04:01 AM

yeah they got the one with the black cap.

TarJak 04-19-13 04:45 AM

According to news here the two suspects were in a car at MIT together and the white cap escaped on foot.

Platapus 04-19-13 04:47 AM

I don't like dead suspects. Sometimes you never can find out if you got the right guy.
