After failing for four years to track down DC pipe bomber, FBI hopes there’s a new person willing to talk

After four unsuccessful years trying to identify the person who placed two viable pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters, the FBI is hoping that allegiances have changed and someone is ready to talk. Despite well-publicized photos of a suspect wearing a hoodie and facemask, a substantial reward and a thousand interviews, the FBI has still been unable to determine who placed the pipe bombs on January 5, 2021, the night before then-President Donald Trump would make his last-ditch effort to overturn the 2020 election. The FBI on Thursday released new video angles of the suspect near both locations as well as a new height estimate, five feet and seven inches, of the person – who wore a hoodie and a mask the night they placed the bombs – hoping it may lead to more tips. David Sundberg, the assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington, DC, field office, told CNN that perhaps people will look at the information or suspect in a different light in 2025 than they did previously. “Maybe allegiances have changed or relationships have changed and it’s time to report” on the suspect, Sundberg said. The videos show how the suspect moved around both party headquarters and eventually placed the bombs that evening.
