he individual who placed pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Republican National Committee (RNC) in Washington, D.C., on January 5, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The updated footage, published on October 22, 2025, offers previously unreleased video clips and longer sequences that show the suspect\u2019s movements more clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The release marks the latest effort by the FBI to solve one of the longest-running unsolved cases connected to the January 6 events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities confirmed that the reward for information leading to the suspect\u2019s identification, arrest, and conviction has been increased to $500,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe FBI is still offering a $500,000 reward for information that helps identify the person who placed pipe bombs at the offices of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee on January 5, 2021,\u201d the Bureau announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspect is seen in the video wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, gloves, and a mask, carrying a backpack that investigators believe contained the devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The person was captured walking through several Capitol Hill neighborhoods between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on the evening of January 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both pipe bombs were found the following day outside the DNC and RNC headquarters. They were safely neutralized before they could detonate, and no injuries occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FBI analysts determined that the devices were constructed with the chemical components of black powder and equipped with kitchen timers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even after reviewing thousands of leads and interviewing hundreds of witnesses, investigators have yet to identify the suspect responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deputy Director of the FBI Dan Bongino reaffirmed the Bureau\u2019s commitment to finding the individual behind the attempted attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you have information regarding this critical investigation, please call 1-800-CALL-FBI,\u201d Bongino said. \u201cEven the smallest tip could be the key to closing this case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FBI says it has processed over 1,000 interviews and reviewed more than 43,000 video files tied to the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent weeks, new information has emerged after FBI Director Kash Patel transmitted laboratory analyses and key witness interviews to Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those documents, obtained by Just the News<\/em>, show that both bombs contained explosive components but did not include the term \u201cviable\u201d in the FBI\u2019s laboratory report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This detail has raised new questions about whether the devices were capable of detonating or if they served another purpose that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The timeline has also come under scrutiny, as both bombs were found roughly 16 hours after<\/strong> the FBI claimed they had been planted outside party headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Director Patel confirmed that all materials related to the case have been turned over to congressional oversight committees for further review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deputy Director Bongino said the Bureau would continue pursuing every lead until the case is solved. \u201cThis investigation remains active, and our agents are committed to following the evidence wherever it leads,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The enhanced footage, now circulating on social media and the FBI\u2019s official website, gives the public the clearest view yet of the suspect\u2019s route through Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Officials hope that viewers may recognize the person\u2019s movements, clothing, or backpack and come forward with identifying information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Security experts note that the case stands as one of the most complex domestic investigations in recent FBI history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The renewed attention, combined with the $500,000 reward, could finally generate the tip that has eluded investigators for nearly five years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" he individual who placed pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Republican National Committee (RNC) in Washington, D.C., on January 5, 2021.
