The FBI issued a new appeal for public help Wednesday to identify the suspect who planted pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic national committee headquarters the night before the Capitol assault, raising the reward to $500,000.
In its latest appeal, the FBI said investigators had conducted about 1,000 interviews,"visited more than 1,200 residences and businesses," while amassing more than 39,000 video files, and vetting nearly 500 tips.
For months, investigators have been hunting for the suspect whose blurry images were captured by surveillance cameras on Jan. 5, 2021 in a Capitol Hill neighborhood, dressed in a gray hooded sweatshirt, a face mask and distinctive Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes in yellow, black, and gray. "Although these bombs did not detonate, it is important to remember the suspect walked along residential and commercial areas in Capitol Hill just blocks from the U.S. Capitol with viable pipe bombs that could have seriously injured or killed innocent bystanders," the FBI said, adding the suspect"may still pose a danger to the public..."
In all, 140 police officers were assaulted Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol, including about 80 from the U.S. Capitol Police and about 60 from the Metropolitan Police Department.
