the boston marathon? that s the question i suppose everyone must ask tonight. well, he and his family were getting assistance at a time relatives say he was becoming radicalized. we confirm with the state that the assistance stopped for tamerlan in 2012. they didn t need a lot of money to carry out the attack. as i learned in the recent demonstration, they re not sophisticated and cheap. the brothers could have built the two bombs for a couple hundred dollars or even less. incredible. and a lot of the other explosives they found of the similar nature were to the pressure cooker that you describe. is there any indication of how much money they did have at this point, david? well, it doesn t look like they had a lot. the oldest brother, tamerlan, had worked delivering pizzas but more recently he was a stay at home dad taking care of his daughter while his wife was the breadwinner. according to her attorney, she was working at the 80 hours a week as a home health care aide.
together exactly when and where tamerlan may have tried to assemble some of those bombs. the lawyers will say that, a, she didn t speak russian so she didn t always understand everything that was being said. they also say that she spent a lot of time out of the house. sometimes up to six, seven days a week, 70 hours working as a home health care aide so she wasn t there very much a he really didn t spend a whole lot of time around the younger brother who was back and forth to u-mass. she was working incredibly hard. thanks very much to chris lawrence who s been doing the legwork reporting on tamerlan tsarnaev s wife. according to government officials, the tsarnaev brothers became self-radicalized by their own accord, at least that s what the younger brother has said so far in interviews from his hospital room. but how did they end up taking the pact and did they record
before she went to work, as a home health care aide. she left him at home, watching their young toddler daughter, and didn t realize he was even a suspect until she saw the pictures plastered on the news that night. so, wolf, investigators still looking to talk to katherine russell. any indication when you think the formal q & a process if you will, the questions and abcs might begin? reporter: the attorney says basically they are still working that out. he has been taking regular meetings with her. federal agents have been to the house several times over the last past couple of days. he says she is basically devastated, she s horrified by what happened to the victims of the boston bombing, and he said she s also dealing with the fact that she has lost her husband and the father of their young
whether or not the widow of the older brother, who is now with her parents, knew anything. there she is right there. catherine russell tsarnaev. she reportedly didn t have any reason to suspect him. why? because she was apparently working 70 to 80 hours a week as a home health care aide. while she was away, he was supposedly taking care of the three-year-old toddler. gretchen: she had totally changed who she was. many people allege she had been brain washed by this radical islam thought, that she was a christian before, and three years ago she decided to convert. but not only just convert; really get into the depths of it and change exactly who she was. we saw her there in the garb. people who knew her in high school said she was nothing like she was before. she dropped out of college. she had aspired to become somebody and decided ned, i guess, to be under his
judge andrew napolitano. so in the news business we get paid to be skeptical. we have a lawyer for the woman who is married to the dead bombing suspect saying she knew nothing about it. the other lawyer said she worked 70 to 80 hours a week as a home health care aide and never saw the husband who was taking care of their toddler daughter. that can easily put you outside the home while the bombs were being made and plans were coming together and ultimately the terrorist attack was coming out. that could all be true. how do we get to the bottom of it? the only way the government can get to the bottom of it, if they wanted to get to the bottom from her, she doesn t wanted to speak, is subpoena her before a grand jury. they will be asking questions in front of a grand jury and not have a road map of knowing what her answers are going to be. she ll have no alternative but to answer before the grand jury unless the answer would
