Were they alone? Were they part of a group? “We initially developed a single person of interest,” Deslauriers said. In tracking him, presumably through pictures, the F.B.I. “developed a second subject.” In one stretch of video, they seem to be walking more or less with each other “toward the direction of the finish line.” But after the explosions, Suspect Two, Deslauriers said, “proceeded west on Boylston Street.” No piece of information was too small: “Each piece brings us forward, toward justice.” He said that people who had been at Forum restaurant might have seen something. “Somebody out there knows these individuals,” Deslauriers said. But none of those somebodies should approach them: “We consider them to be armed and extremely dangerous.” There is a number to call (1-800-CALL-FBI) and a Web site(bostonmarathontips.fbi.gov). All the photos are on the F.B.I.’s site. And keep in mind that these new images are of suspects, not indicted bombers.
Neither is one of the young people from the front page of the Post this morning (one of those was a seventeen-year-old high-school student who runs track), or the Saudi man who was briefly focussed on by news outlets. And they weren’t a focus of the Reddit effort, either. (Reddit has turned to trying to analyze the F.B.I. pictures—what are those logos on the hats?—and finding more.) These men look young. They seem to have darkish hair, but neither is wearing a T-shirt saying where he or his family is from. These are still nameless men sought in a murder and mass bombing. They are still strangers—but not, the F.B.I. is hoping, to everybody.
A couple of hours after the press conference, Bloomberg reported that Jeff Bauman, a bombing victim who lost his lower legs—and might have lost his life, if Carlos Arredondo, the man in the cowboy hat, hadn’t helped stop the bleeding—may have helped the F.B.I. to find those figures in the photographic crowds. “He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, ‘bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,’” Chris Bauman, his brother, told Bloomberg. He added that Jeff gave a description to the F.B.I. “while still in intensive care.”
