    Found this video of the suspects during the boston Marathon, released by the FBI.



    Until the last scene, they seem perfectly ordinary.

    Any updates? Is it to do with the bombing or a separate incident?

    There is speculation that the shooter who escaped is Sunil Tripathi, the student who is one of the two main suspects for the Boston Bombing. It's all very chilling.

    Message from a friend of his a month ago posted to reddit;
    whereissunil 9 points 27 days ago

    He's 6'0, 130 pounds, with brown eyes and short brown hair. He left wearing blue jeans, a Philadelphia Eagles beanie, and a black sweatshirt. He does not have his ID, wallet, or cell phone.

    Sunil has been struggling with depression since he took a leave of absence from Brown last year. A note suggestive of suicidal intent left behind in his apartment has his family extremely worried. They are currently in Providence, helping the police search for him.

    Sunil is a kind, gentle, and shy young man. All we want is for him to return safe and well. If anyone on here has any suggestions or would be able to help with posting flyers, we would be very grateful. We have also created a facebook page to help raise awareness, which you can view here.

    Thank you all for your help!

    I've been following this all night, it's crazy!

    Suspect #1 is dead, suspect #2 is still on the run.

    The man they arrested that they made strip to make sure he didn't have explosives strapped to him was innocent, wrong place wrong time and he's been let go.

    Both men's names are unofficially circling the internet, no official announcement yet though.

    I don't understand how suspect #2 is going alive, there's been multiple explosions and gun fire. They've cornered off the area, apparently waiting till it gets bright to continue searching for him.

    He's reportedly locked himself in a building after tripping motion sensors.

    Sky news reporting that the police have now publicly linked the shooting with the marathon bombing and released a photo of "white capped suspect #2" from the Boston finishing line.

    You would think that these guys would try to get as far away as possible from Boston but no, they decide to hang around, draw attention to themselves by trying to rob a supermarket and hijacking a car, then shooting a campus police officer.

    Obviously the remaining guy is a dangerous deranged individual.

    The man who died in custody after the shootout has now been identified as "black hat man" suspect #1 from the Boston Bombings!

    They had bombs prepped to go, so speculation is that they were setting up an attack on the MIT campus.

    And here's a video his family made pleading for his return.

    By the looks of it, he wanted to go out with a bang (pardon the pun)

    It seems that there were concerns about what his intentions were when he went missing. There were multiple agencies involved in the search, including the FBI.
    I really hope the speculation is wrong, what a nice looking family and bunch of friends.
