Overview
- Newly posted footage charts the suspect’s movements from about 7:34 p.m. to 8:18 p.m., including device placements near the DNC at roughly 7:54 p.m. and the RNC at about 8:16 p.m.
- The case remains unsolved and the FBI is soliciting tips with a reward of up to $500,000 for information leading to an identification.
- The individual is described as about 5 feet 7 inches tall, wearing a gray hoodie, mask and gloves, carrying a backpack, and sporting Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a yellow logo.
- The devices did not detonate and were constructed with 1x8-inch pipes, kitchen timers and homemade black powder, which the FBI has publicly characterized as viable and potentially dangerous.
- Separate reporting says FBI lab documents sent to Congress did not use the word “viable” and raise timeline questions, a claim that contrasts with the bureau’s public description.
