How in the world did two perps haul and load all of the pipe and pressure cooker bombs and weapons into a hijacked vehicle--after robbing a convenience store and killing a cop? Bombs which were subsequently tossed out of the vehicle during the ensuing police chase?
I’ve wondered all along that the person driving that car was a friend or an acquaintance of the brothers. You hear nothing about the owner of that car.
Interesting map. How did the perps get from point 2(killing the MIT cop) to the place where they hijack the Mercedes? Looks like a good distance. Did they ditch the car they had near where they hijacked the Mercedes? Have the cops located that car? If they had their own car leading into the hijacked car, they could have quickly loaded the arsenal from original car to hijacked SUV.
That is a really good question, FRiend. I don't know. I admit that part of the saga is where I'm most fuzzy.
I just learned - via another FR post - that the #2 perp went to an ATM and got $800 from the carjack victim's account... first I had heard about that.
Interesting question. Did they have the stuff in more backpacks? Did they have help?
The MIT officer was shot point blank, they said his gun was still in the holster.
The story is that they did go to 3 different ATM’s.
Heard the theory that their getaway people failed to show up, which makes some sense.
There are definately more questions than answers here.
I still want to know more about the naked guy, they never talk about him anymore. Was he really just a poor sap who was at the wrong place at the wrong time?
And yes, I want to know who the car jacking victim is, what is the true story on that? Escaped vs let go -
yes... during the shoot out you can see that at least one of them was photographed by the guy in the apartment who witnessed the shoot out. In the photograph you can see one of them wearing a backpack. It is huge. If I run across the photo I will post it.
Police are saying they shot the MIT cop in cold blood. They were carrying the backpacks with them at that time. Were they going to plant the bombs at the MIT? Did the MIT cop recognize them as the 2 bombers from the photos that were just released hours earlier?
my understanding is they did not rob the 7-11, that was an early report and was false. They were in the 7-11 but it was said they paid cash for what they bought.
Very interesting stuff here...another FReeper just shared it with me. I had not seen it before, nor have I seen it posted...
