Boston Suspect ID’d

According to the paper, a surveillance video at Lord & Taylor, located across the street from the site of the explosion, has provided authorities with clear video of the area. It is unclear if the suspect's image was captured on that camera.

"The camera from Lord & Taylor is the best source of video so far," said Dot Joyce, a spokeswoman for Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, according to the paper. "All I know is that they are making progress."

The blasts killed 8-year-old Martin Richard, of Boston, and 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, of Medford. The Shenyang Evening News, a state-run Chinese newspaper, identified the third victim as Lu Lingzi. She was a graduate student at Boston University.

No one has claimed responsibility for the Boston attack.

Authorities planned to brief the media on the progress of the investigation at 5 p.m. today.

The cookers were used to conceal the explosive material as well as metal shards, nails and ball bearings in order to inflict as much damage as possible.

A person who revealed the new development in the terror case spoke on the condition of anonymity to the Associated Press because the investigation is still going.

They stated the explosives were put in 6-liter kitchen pressure cookers and hidden in bags that were placed on the ground.

Specifically, a 4Chan Think Tank purports to have isolated a possible suspect or suspects using images taken around the time of Monday's tragic blast. While most, if not all Internet conspiracy theories such as the mystery man on the roof are unlikely to pan out, some users say this one may have legs.

Officially, there are no suspects in the attack that killed three and injured 170 people, many severely, so maybe even the armchair detectives can help.
