Well, in defense of all that - when the pics were FIRST published, they were a bit blurry. You may recall all the speculation, even right here on FR... everyone here thought one of the bombers was this missing Che Guevera-loving Brown student from Pennsylvania.

It wasn’t until really late on Friday that we had clearer photographs going around. I can’t recall when the real names came out, but it wasn’t THAT long ago all things considered.

It’s early Sunday AM on the east coast. Like the above post says - certainly some people must have stepped forward.. and I’m sure this particular woman has talked to the FBI (etc) by now... and this is a fairly lengthy report.

I don't think that's accurate.

The bombings happened Monday, 4/15/2013.

The Feds news conference was on Thursday, April 18 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern.

If I'm not mistaken, the FEDs revealed these pics above just hours after their news conference. In fact, it's being speculated the Feds had these images at the time of their news conference. Additionally, during the news conference, the feds and the media clearly implied they had additional evidence and images.

If this is in fact true, why were they not made available during the news conference?

Furthermore, it's also a safe bet the Feds had the video they broadcasted on their Thursday 4/18/2013 news conference, on the evening of the bombing, which occurred Monday 4/15/2013. They didn't go public with the video until Thursday, hoping someone would be able to ID the suspect.

If this is all true, why in hell did the Feds wait *days* to go public with the video for help?

Also, did the Feds already have in their possession better images of the suspects and declined to reveal them at their news conference? This is a legitimate question based on the fact the Feds had the video on Monday night and very likely were able to determine which two individuals in the video planted the bombs by Monday night.
