HuffPost
Four years later, the suspect who allegedly planted bombs ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot remains at large.
The FBI released video footage Thursday showing the suspect in a still-unsolved Washington, D.C., pipe bomb case from four years ago.
The release of the footage is part of the FBI’s renewed efforts to identify the person who allegedly planted bombs outside the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican parties on Jan. 5, 2021, the night before supporters of then-President Donald Trump assaulted the U.S. Capitol. Though more than 1,500 people have been arrested in connection with the Capitol riot, whoever planted the bombs remains at large.
“The tips the FBI has received so far have helped us advance the investigation, but they have not led us to identify the suspect,” David Sundberg, assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, said in a statement.
The newly released footage shows the suspect in a light-colored hooded sweatshirt sitting on a park bench near the DNC headquarters. The person can be seen retrieving a pipe bomb from their backpack and placing it near the building. According to Sundberg, the suspect is 5 feet, 7 inches tall.
The FBI restated Thursday that it’s offering a reward of up to $500,000 to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of someone responsible for the attempted attack.
