said the two males outside were not him. A third male is in the house and refusing to come out. They not sure who he is.... trying to talk him out

[RummyChick]

not the guys...how did they identify him for the scanner..wearing a white hat so it must be him ;-)

[RummyChick]

she always does that...they are always lone wolves...

[Pikachu_Dad]

Which house?

[Boardwalk]

There is an informational briefing coming up in about 5 minutes. So far they have taken no questions per that doofus minime

[Pikachu_Dad]

last party is an elderly male, so that’ can’t be him.

If this is a show of force to demonstrate the prowess of the LEOs and the efficiency of the crisis response teams.... it isn’t working. That is, it isn’t working unless they intend to make the islameist terrorists laugh their asses off.

This is just silly. The blood trail note has to be a rumor or they would be able to track with dogs it would seem. They don’t even seem to know for sure what car they are looking for.

The kid is dead, gone to ground and being hidden or has left the area and gotten away.

Somebody in custody but it is an old man somewhere. Can’t believe they are running all this traffic on unsecure radio though. Much in the clear.

[kjam22]

yeah.. sounds like it was a false alarm

[RummyChick]

Someone on CBS made an interesting comment that the white hat made him stand out and easier to track in photos.

On purpose or just a dumb ass kid not worrying about being caught?

[Fitzy_888]

Is that a tire track across his face? ...proportedly his brother driving.

The left will lose there mind over this photo release, watch.

[politicianslie]

There must be a sleeper cell.

The biggest sleeper cell is in the White House.

This is not going according to plan, stupid Americans can't realize what is going on.

[kjam22]

I think they had no idea the surveillance cameras would be that effective.

[Boardwalk]

The dad in Russia is pleading to his kid to turn himself in. The dad wants him alive.

[dfwgator]

He’s never looked better.

Bookmarked. Great coverage.

I tend to agree with what a couple of others said. I think this is way bigger than we know. I mean, this is a lot of resources being deployed to catch this one guy

At a late afternoon presser the day of the bombing, one of the speakers said 'they would search throughout the world, to the ends of the earth' for the culprit(s).

It sounded rather strange at the time, because I made a comment about it in one of the 'live' threads. I commented that this may be bigger than they were saying.

Of course the FBI, etc., know much more than they are saying. Yesterday, before the photo releases, one authority said they were pretty sure they knew at least one of the suspects because they had video of the way he reacted to the explosion. That video, as far as I know, has not been released to the public.
