The FBI has released new security footage as authorities continue to seek more information about the person who placed pipe bombs outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters that were discovered in Washington, DC, on the day of the Capitol riot.

1. A pair of rare Nike sneakers may be the key to catching a Washington riot suspect

Sneaker fans may know the Air Max Speed Turf as a style from the mid-1990s. Nike reintroduced them in 2012 and released more versions in 2018, including two color combinations that might be the shoes seen on the suspect. Unlike widely distributed styles, such as Nike’s popular Air Force 1, there aren’t millions of pairs on streets around the US, and while they are available on resale sites such as eBay and StockX, they aren’t traded with the same fervor as sought-after styles such as Air Jordans. That means a limited number of people probably own a pair, and the distinctive look makes them relatively easy to spot.

5. They were the first thing that stood out to my eye,

the second thing was that the movements lead me to think it is a woman.

7. Clearly That Is A Female

The body language is unmistakable. The walk, and particularly how she bent over to put down the backpack.

I noticed Pierre Thomas, the Chief Justice Correspondent for ABC News, said that "investigators are interested in the suspect's somewhat unusual gait".

Nothing unusual for a woman.

8. That is exactly what I was thinking

Hopefully she will be in custody soon.
