I'm not saying you are guys wrong about the guy in the bottom right corner next to the electrical box, but his shoes are completely different. I seriously doubt he changed shoes.

(clearly white shoes)

Can't really see his shoes next to the electrical box. What may appear to be white shoes could actually be a piece of white debris such as a cup in front of his shoes. I think it's him.

What is he doing off to the right of the blast site though if we know he fled to the left?

agreed. In addition, only his left foot looks white in the second photo, further suggesting that it may just be debris.

the right foot is still black.

Isn't this picture immediately after the explosion? Don't we have that picture from right after the blast of white hat dude walking around the corner?

White hat is easy to pick out. Where is the guy with the sideburns?

Both highlighted here:

I am not convinced the second guy highlighted in yellow is one of the suspects. His hat looks like it might have a white back and be almost more maroon than black on the front. Maybe it is just the color of the pictures, but it doesn't definitively look like Suspect 1 to me.

I agree. Doesn't look like a white B on his hat

Same. In the FBI photos he had his jacket unzipped and a white undershirt on. In the new photo it doesn't look like he has a white undershirt, it looks more like a black one; either that or he zipped it up.

Duke University's student center had a bomb threat the day after the Boston bombings' and the building was evacuated.

He could have easily gone past the blast seen in the minutes after the blast. In addition, other photos show the other guy within a few feet of him and behind him as they left. So he may have delayed a bit before leaving to make sure they met up.

Definitely white hat guy turning right off of Boylston onto Fairfield.

The streets crossing Boylston are alphabetical A, B, C, D, E (Exeter), F (Fairfield), G (Gloucester), H (Hereford)... so these 2 aren't even to the famous corner of Hereford & Boylston yet. They certainly stuck around to see the damage they did.

I'm not sure about the khaki-pant wearing suspect. What was the timeline? 12 minutes between the videos and detonation? The bombs were a long way apart. My guess is, as soon as they planted them and were a safe distance away, they detonated. That way there is a lower chance of the bombs being discovered prior to detonation. And my other guess is they were detonated by cell phone triggers. So need to hurry away. Drop it off, get clear, trigger.

Because of the location of the drop by the mailbox, it wouldn't surprise me at all if that photo of white-hat dude behind the electrical box is legit. That was a pretty safe location to detonate from. How long does it take for a cell phone tower to sync up a call? He hears the blast, makes the call, and it takes roughly was 12 seconds before the call is placed and the 2nd bomb is detonated.

What ever came of this image?

Brown shoes, khaki pants but, with leather jacket?

Also he has his head down and back to the camera, which is very suspicious.

"sources" have been a bit of a mess in this story but CNN reports that "sources" say that there are photos of the two staying back to admire their work.

Being an American Muslim doesn't make you an Islamic terrorist. I don't think they would get much support from anyone in Boston of any race or social class at this point.

As much as the risk of these horrible events are raised by the media the actual occurrence is surprisingly low. Most people, soldiers and even religious wingnuts don't murder innocent people.

He would have a change of clothes, jacket, shoes, sunglasses and hat. Let's focus on the faces and see if there were clothing changes too...

Black hat dude is not as convincing, but he does have on same pants and shoe color.

Here's the bridgestone hat that authorities identified:

Here's FBI image of black hat dude so you can see the hat:

The hat has a sizeable white strip on each side so I think that stripe is probably the white we're seeing on black hat dude with the yellow square around him to pick him out.

What does it say about these two suspects that the hats are:

Black Bridgestone golf hat:

White Ralph Polo hat:

Sounds like preppie yuppies, or at least wannabes. Or intentionally trying to disguise their character, but why didn't they seem to do a better job avoid being caught on camera other than not to look suspicion before & after the crime.

If you notice the guy with the white hat is moving his hands and holding them a lot for someone wearing a backpack. Generally people with backpacks don't walk like that.

You'd think if they put that much thought into it, the suspect won't have worn a WHITE hat BACKWARDS, not only showing his whole face, but being more visible than a blue/black cap.

Ok, maybe they tossed a jacket or changed a shirt, ok. I'm not buying a change of shoes, too time consuming/technical.
