who the individual is between the picture and previous information that we have about this person. and as i was saying before, just in general law enforcement, you re going to track a picture down, might have a picture of someone, they might be a part of a community that has been worried about where this person had gone, i ll be vague here, and the capture of that person. and until we don t want to get too far ahead of this, this has significance for the capture of this person, if he s free, if he s out and about, the public needs to know who it is. remember, just take half a step back, this is accelerated incredibly quickly. even by john who is ahead on the reporting, within the span of an hour and a half, we went from them saying on videotape, they identified somebody putting down a bag, right, they said, well, we know the individual is a brown-skinned male. that s what they said. a lot of people get offended, why are you describing him like that. within an hour and a half, we ge
there are with so many bags. anyone who has seen a marathon, there are lots of bags. and so the chances are nothing was left well before the marathon, but someone would easily drop a bag during it. jewuliette, we have deb feyerick on the phone. you spoke to a photographer who was near the suspect? i m not hearing hello? hello? yeah. deborah, can you hear us? deborah, can you hear us? yes, hi, chris. hi, chris. hi, everyone. we the pictures that you are probably showing on air right now, a man who seems to be running from the location and what makes this picture so interesting and why the fbi has been asking the gentleman who shot it is because the man ran away from the blast virtually at
expecting now. let me know if you hear anything. to be clear, if there is no arrest, if there is no one in custody. and multiple sources are telling a variety of our reporters that seems to be the case. and, in fact, no name of a suspect. we don t know. they might have an internal name they re not going to disclose because they have some information that is going to lead them in the next 48 hours. what would they be doing right now? what are the different avenues to identifying someone that they pick out from a piece of video? okay, so, they might have a picture of this person already through either public sources or through other investigatory sources, got to be careful here. we don t know if this person has under have surveillance, if they were part of part of a group that they re already looking for. a known quantity. a university or a college or someone they can make the facial identification which would then give you a name. if they don t have that, if this i
be stretched much, much further back. anderson? right. yeah. again, just what we were talking about, these things happen all the time. so let s just to the folks at the headquarters in atlanta, let s just dial back on going to any place where there is an evacuation because people call this stuff in all the time. it happens all the time, let s just step back from it. i lost track what time it is, but i know there is a press conference at 5:00 and that seems look a far time away, but i m pretty confident that at least there is going to be a decision made about what picture they re going to show. there might be multiple pictures. so what picture they re going to show. and then determining whether anyone has any information. i ve been saying there is a local feel to this investigation. doesn t matter where this person comes from, who his affiliates are. big decision. if you re going to put out a picture of somebody, and say, do you know this person, how sure
they do something stupid, sort of show their hand and get arrested. so this may be part of a law enforcement uses media. are you shocked? shocked. it is interesting. and kind of a delicate dance for law enforcement at this point now do you go completely public with what you have in the hopes that like they did with the unabomber, releasing his manifesto, that led to the brother of the unabomber identifying some of the nature of the writing. do you go public with all of the information you have in the hopes that that will stir the pot and alert somebody, or do you try to hold it close to your vest? it may be too soon i think it will depend on whether there is a hot trail or a cold trail. if there is a picture of someone and they have no idea, hundreds of thousands of people at the boston marathon, the trail may be cold, and they may want to go public because, as i ve been saying, this person was here from for some time. we can know that just
