the second and related question is, how much of what the suspect is telling law enforcement authorities do they in fact believe, what's verifiable, what they can check out, or what he may be saying because, quite frankly, his brother, the alleged co-conspirator in all of this, is not available because he was killed, you know, on friday. so, there's a lot for the law enforcement officials to do. and we just have to differentiate between what they believe the suspect is telling them and what they believe they can verify and what might be the truth, anderson. >> also lawmakers want to talk to the fbi about their treatment of the older brother, tamerlan tsarnaev, about their interviews with him before he went to russia and any follow-up that they did or did not do, correct? >> yeah. and there's a whole list of questions there, of course, policymakers are asking and we're trying to get to the bottom of what really happened during before and after the time when tamerlan tsarnaev went to russia. federal law enforcement official, for example, this morning, telling cnn tamerlan was not on a terror watch list or any no fly list. that was something up for debate for a while. the official said that when the fbi looked at tamerlan, there was no derogatory information found and the u.s. never deemed him a threat. the official said when the russian government asked the fbi to look into him, a task force did it from march to june 2011. the official said tsarnaev was on the text database, a testimony run by the customs and border prodekz serviard protect. it there was a misspelling of tamerlan's name which would have led to his name being missed. this was a matter addressed by the homeland security secretary before congress talking about a proposal to improve the system. listen. >> is it true that his identity document did not match his airline ticket and why did the tsa miss the discrepancy? >> there was a mismatch. by the way, the bill will help with this because it requires that passports be electronically readable as opposed to manually input. it does a good job of human error to the extent it exists out of the process. with the misspelling under our current system there are redundancies and so the system did ping when he was leaving the united states. >> by the way, the official said even when there's a hit in this system for noteworthy travel it doesn't prompt anyone in law enforcement to take action. anderson? >> joe, appreciate that. we got a statement from the law firm representing the widow of tamerlan tsarnaev who died in the shoot outfriday. chris lawrence joins us by phone from providence, rhode island this afternoon. what are the lawyers saying now? >> reporter: anderson, we're outside the lawyer's off at providence. basically, this all happened within the last hour. he came out and he said that catherine russell asked him to read a statement on her behalf. it basically talks about how she met tamerlan, that they had been married and living together, and it also talks about how their family, she, her daughter, her parents, are all trying to come to terms with what's happened over the past week. >> our firm is representing katie russell, as you all know. we've been asked, she's asked us to make a short statement to you. as you know, from news reports, katie married her husband in june of 2010. since then, she's been living in cambridge, raising her child, working long hours, caring for people in their homes who are unable to care for themselves. katie dpru up here in rhode island and has always remained close to her parents and sisters, as well as to her extended family. she is fortunate enough to have the support of her loving family, and as they, too, struggle to come to terms with these events and the deep sorrow we all feel following the events of last week. meanwhile, she is doing everything she can to assist in the ongoing investigation. >> the injuries and loss of life to people who came to celebrate a race and a holiday has caused profound distress and sorrow to katie and her family. the reports of ininvolvement by her husband and brother-in-law came as an absolute shock to them all. as a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife, katie deeply mourns the pain and loss to innocent victims, students, law enforcement officers, families, and our community. in the aftermath of this tragedy, she, her daughter, and her family, are trying to come to terms with this event. thank you. >> reporter: investigators know that indicate katie russell sha apartment with tamerlan, a cramped apartment in massachusetts. as investigators are try to determine when and where he may have assembled those bombs they want to talk to her about what she may have known. now we note from sources close to the family that she does not speak russian, so she didn't always understand what was being said around the house. we also know that the last time she saw him was on thursday, before she went to work, apparently she left for work and thought that he would be home looking after their young toddltodler daughter which is what he would do, the attorneys say, while she would work seven days a week, up to 70 hours away from the house. >> so, chris, she saw him after -- for days after the marathon bombings and says she had no idea that he was involved? >> reporter: that's right. the word we're getting is that she only realized that he was a suspect the same way thousands of other people did when they initially saw the news reports, watching cnn and other networks, broadcast those initial pictures and those initial video that the fbi put out that thursday evening. we're told that that is when she realized, and before that she had no idea of his potential involvement. >> if she was allegedly working during the bombing, who was caring for their little daughter, do we know? >> reporter: we don't know if she was necessarily working during the bombing. but we do know basically that he had not been working full time recently in that she was working very long hours. they were living at the apartment. but that also family members were also there as well. we also heard that she did not see dzhokhar, the younger brother, as much as she saw other members of tamerlan's family, simply because dzhokhar would often be at umass dartmouth living in a dorm. she saw other members of the family more than she saw interaction with dzhokhar, who was only there off and on. >> okay. obviously investigators want to learn as much as they can from her and we'll be talking to her more. appreciate that, chris. thanks very much. hearing from the man who was originally car jacked by the bombing suspect and managed to get away. for a long time we thought he had been released by the bombing suspect. now our affiliate wmur got an exclusive off-camera interview with him. he didn't want to appear on camera or his name used for his own safety. the alleged carjacking victim was forced into the front passenger seat as one brother drove. they asked me, a quote, where i'm from, i told them i'm chinese. i was very scared. i asked them if they were going to hurt me. they said they wouldn't hurt me. i was thinking they would kill me later. he told them he was running out of gas and drove to a gas station. when one brother went to pay for the gas the other went to the pump to pump the gas. he realized it was an opportunity to escape. he jumped out of the car, ran across the street, bombers ran off and he was able to run into a gas station. place were able to track down the car because the car jacking victim left his cell phone behind and they were able to trace the vehicle to watertown. now the m.i.t. police officer, two bombing suspects accuse of gunning down never had a chance to respond. we're learning that new details about the death of officer sean collier, 26, a source with direct knowledge of the investigation says he never had time too activate his emergency alert and did not radio dispatch about the suspects. the source says it's not clear why the brother. bushes the officer. shot four to five times as he sat in his patrol vehicle. officer collier was laid to rest over the weekend. as i said he was just 26 years old. boston is slowly taking steps to return to some semblance of normal, eight days after two bombs tore through the finish line of that marathon. business owners and residents of boilstown street are returning to the area. escorted in over several hours today. site is closed to the public. jason carroll, you've been talking to business owners. what are they telling you? >> reporter: well, it's a long road ahead for them and they're saying a lot of things about it. they're checking in at a convention center around the block from where i am now. behind me here, you can see, anderson, it looks empty on the street but it's not what happens happening outside. it's what's happening inside the businesses as business owners and residents are being allowed back into today on a walk-through basis. it's happening on a staggered schedule, starting at 10:00 a.m., one block per hour over a six-hour period. at this hour we've got streets of dartmouth and clariton opened, 1:00 p.m. berkeley and so on until 3:00 p.m. again we met up with business owners and residents collecting at convention center nearby. that's what they're checking in, to be escorted back to properties and businesses. some business owners talked about excitement of trying to get back into their business, trying to get back on to their feet, back into a schedule while others talked about the reality that they just can't seem to shake of being so close to the bombing when it happened. >> a step in the right direction. we're not sure what's going on. we get to go in to clean up, you know, and do what we need to do to get ready. >> for us and our business it's really about how do we get back to boston, how do we band together, help those seriously injured that are going to have life-long struggles. >> i've had a tough time, you know? i had a son that works with me that goes to school and we walked outside two seconds before the bombing. i had envelopes in my hand for him to mail at the mailbox and he said, dad, can we go? i looks at crowd and said, i'll mail them out. i feel very lucky and just it's very emotional. >> reporter: he said it best, still a lot of emotion out here for these residents. still a lot of emotion for the business owners as well. again, a long road ahead. things are starting to get back to normal one block at a time. anderson? >> yeah. jason, thanks. i want to talk to the co-owner of the charles mark hotel, it's in front or feet from where the first explosion happened. thanks for being with us. your hotel is obviously closed down. you're going to be able to get back to the hotel today? >> 2:00 we're escort back with essential employees. >> do you have a sense how soon you'll be able to reopen? >> no. we could be ready in 24 hours but we haven't got the go-ahead from the city yet. >> you were there that day. what did you see? >> i was on our patio, which is about 30, 40 feet from where the first bomb went off, and when the bomb exploded, everyone was in sort of a state of shock and we looked at each other and then when the second bomb went off, people started to cry and yell and they started to run toward the inside of the hotel to get away. about 30 seconds after that, i went out to the patio, the sidewalk with two managers, and it was a horrible scene. people were lying all over the place, they were bleeding. fortunately that quickly there were two or three people attending to each person that was down. and so my two managers start to tear down the scaffolding, everybody seems to understand that people needed access to the people who were down. and i took a video because of training first aid but sauce everybody was attended to, didn't think i could help much more. 60 seconds after we were out there, some federal people started to yell at us, get out, get out, get out. there could be more bombs. and i turned and on my video you can hear me say, i don't think it's safe to be here one of my employees said, yeah, you're right. we went back into the building and we escorted everybody out. didn't take long, about two minutes. >> to get everyone out of the hotel? >> yeah. >> how do you think the city's doing in terms of bouncing back? >> i think -- i broke this down to two different parts. one is what everybody needs to do to get their businesses back and running, it's like being at war and you're a general, we still need to make a lot of moves. i made a list, they asked me to bring it on, of ten things we need to do. and the other side, the emotional side, we were scared. we cried. we were angry. we felt a lot of pride. and so you have to balance those two things. so i think that everybody's feeling better but when we go home at night we're thankful that we're still here and we're understanding how precious life is. a couple of my guys have families and they're more affected than people that don't because they have people counting on them if they had gone away, it's what if. >> what's it like for you get back inside today, too? >> emotionally, i'm fine. i feel like i said we're at war and i have 75 employees and we need to take care of them. we need to get -- the steps are we get cleaned up and get to our guests and we contact everybody and we talk to each employee individually because we're not experienced at this in saying how are you doing, how can we help you? do you need time off? do you want to be with us everybody has come together and stayed together at the hotel and they're bonding and hugging and they're telling each other that they love each other and how proud they are of each other. it's touching. >> it's going to be a difficult days ahead. mark, thank you very much for being with us. to help those affected by the boston bombings visit cnn.com. a lot of information about other group there's which are helping. you can donate, too, from the first responders to the witness whose became heroes in times of tragedy, we've seen this time and time, people rise up, perform amazing acts of kindness and compassion. we'll talk about that ahead. ♪set it off like a score alert ♪ beep beep what?
