A redditor posted a photo of what appears to show Boston Marathon Bombing "Suspect 2" walking in the crowd behind 8-year-old victim Martin Richard, and it appears that Suspect 2's backpack is on the ground between them.
This photo is unconfirmed.
The same photo was earlier aired by Fox 25, focusing on the bag and the suspect but blurring out faces in the crowd.
Earlier the FBI released images of two suspects and asked for the public's help identifying them. Reddit then identified the hat of Suspect 1 and potentially found a hi-res picture of suspect two.
MelGibsonDerp points out that in the FBI images and in Fransbauer's hi-res image, Suspect 2 is wearing a white hat backwards and is carrying a similar backpack (which may appear black in the above picture because it is unzipped).

(36,437 posts)This was the ploy, maybe:
"Oh, hey, buddy...how ya doing..."
And that's how he walks away from the bag he put down without drawing attention to the bag. Then the first bomb goes off, and he's already ten-fifteen feet away. The girl in front goes through the barricade, runs west-bound on Boylston. He's walking on the sidewalk. He hits the detonator. Trots up the corner, and here, with him turning the corner, and the girl who was directly in front of the bag running up Boylston.
Horror. The pic in the OP is perhaps 20 seconds to that bag going up, ten seconds to the first bomb going off. You're looking at the last 30 seconds of that little boy's lfe.

I agree that it also looks like your photo shows him turning the corner.

(13,485 posts)This is too exposed and so are they. A matter of time.
I have a hard time not thinking the FBI probably knows exactly where they are. Imagine how carefully the FBI or police would have to plan it so no one else gets killed in the process.

(12,158 posts)first thought upon seeing the photo was how much the woman in the blue coat with her arm up resembled pictures I'd seen of Krystle Campbell.
It's so sad seeing little Martin standing there, beside a little girl who I think might be his sister Jane.

It's fun watching the findbostonbombers subreddit. It almost seems to resemble, well, a hivemind.

(65,458 posts)and it isn't right to accuse him of a terrorist act like that with no reasonable evidence. Darker than lily white skin and prominent noses do not inevitably make people look alike. Besides, the complexion of the suspect in the videos doesn't even look as dark as this young man's does.

It was posted in another thread here.
