Do you mean these tapes and photos?

Wow.
Did you read that story?
Titled "The Improbable Story of How Authorities Found the Bombers in the Crowd". The key word being improbable.
"The video seemed to be pointed just to the side of the site of the second explosion, showing a huge fireball and then the graphic aftermath. It also showed, investigators hoped, whoever placed the bomb there.
Analysts watched it and re-watched it dozens of times, but none could spot anyone that looked suspicious, much less like a mass murderer dropping off a bomb. They were stuck."
Now come the lie.
"A spectator’s still photo would prove to be the turning point in the FBI’s urgent investigation. The still showed the finish line and the Forum crowd from across the street, giving the agents another, key perspective. The photo came from a man who said he couldn't get through to authorities for hours amid all the confusion, and he nearly gave up.
Finally, someone answered his call, and once the agents in the FBI’s Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) lab saw the photo, they realized they had the key to cracking the case.
“He was hidden in plain sight,” said FBI agent Kevin Swindon, who ran the CART lab in Boston. “[Before that,] we couldn’t see anything that stuck out.”
The photo, closely examined, showed a black backpack on the ground in the precise place that was what analysts said was the “seat” of the bomb -- the exact spot where it exploded, next to a tree just behind eight-year-old Martin Richard, who was killed in the blast. Standing over the backpack was a young man with a white baseball cap worn backward."
And they show you a photo of a crowd of people (this was the finish line of the marathon after all) taken at who knows what time in which they have circled who they say is Martin Richard and the younger Tsarnaev brother. It shows us nothing, Yet they sell it as the "aha moment". And this was later lie after the first one claiming they had a video of the bomb being placed.
