Boston: One dead, one captured, city re-opened

Okay, that is spooky amount of coincidence.

Hes a ghost in the wind. shave his head and hes gone.. I seriously think his brother talked him into all this and he has no clue what to do without him
 
IMHO the only explanation is that he is still hiding in the area, just not in the perimeter they locked.

Since they lost him kind of early in the chase before the lockdown, it is reasonable they miscalculated the area he could be in and he simply hid where they weren't looking for him.
 
Check the OP for timeline
Take the 7-11 part out of my description for clarity.


Fixed:

For those waking up here is the summary of what happened in Boston overnight. They killed an MIT police officer, hijacked a car, stole a police vehicle, threw explosives(1 grenade and 5 pipebombs) out of window during chase, got into firefights in neighborhood, one of them died from being shot to death by the cops and a bomb vest going off(suspect 1), and the other is hiding and there's supposedly bombs planted all over the place(suspect 2) .
 
So it seems they are lifting the lockdown simply because they just can't keep a city like Boston on lockdown for an extended period of time, not because of new any developments.

Kinda feeling the same. I don't think he's innocent by any means, but from the way his friends described him, and from what has been said about his brother and the relationship between the two, sounds like big bro put him up to it.
 
He should give himself up. There is no end game for him, he seems to be educated he should know this, everyone knows his face, what does he think will happen someone will give him a ride ?
 
So I'm finally getting an answer I think:

He DID flee the shoot out in a vehicle.

They DID recover that car (Benz). But where?

So he either fled that car or got in another one.

And I guess all the Hondas were reported stolen, possibly by the suspect? When found, had they been confirmed stolen? Where were they? Wouldn't that leave a trail?

The lack of details around this stuff is kind of surprising.
 
Sounds like they just didn't have the numbers of police in place (during the shootout) needed to cordon off the area effectively.

Sucks, its too bad. Good luck Boston.
 
The press is really grilling the police chief on how he got away despite the dragnet.

I mean, it DOES seem a little bizarre.
 
This guy is dumb as hell. He had 48 hours to flee the country after the bombings, but instead he and his brother decided to kill more people in public.

He'll be caught or found dead within a week, maybe even 24 hours.

Looks like the young man dipped out of Watertown. Only thought is that he has help, cause he ditched Benz and all the Hondas have been found
Oh boy, this whole thing is a mess. People have been pinning their hopes on the inch-by-inch search of Watertown finding him, only for the search to pretty much finish and there to be a revelation that he may not even be there.

If he's not there, he could be anywhere by now. A mile away, ten miles away, a hundred miles away. And in what direction? The search radius has to be so huge it's back to square one, like 24 hours ago.

How utterly demoralising.
 
He's doing pretty well so far...

Well, not really when you consider how badly they fucked up if it was at all their intent to get away. It's all relative. Yesterday evening it was all they're never going to find these dudes no one knows who they are etc. Sure he escaped for now but they haven't exactly proven to be very expert at it so far.
 
I still remain positive that he'll eventually be found. Wherever he is, if his face is seen in public he's done for. Unless he has help, he needs to eat and drink.
 
I want to see the video of him planting the bomb.

Is it confirmed Suspect 2 is responsible for any of the gunfight with the police, or was he simply fleeing?
