The FBI is offering a $500,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect who placed two pipe bombs near the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C. in January 2021.
Almost four years after two pipe bombs were placed near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in Washington, D.C., the FBI says it is renewing its efforts to track down a suspect by releasing new video of the suspect placing one of the bombs near the DNC.
The FBI, which still has no suspects and has not determined a motive for the crimes, also announced Thursday that it estimates the suspect to be approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall. A reward of up to $500,000 is available for information leading to the individual’s arrest and conviction. The announcement came just hours after congressional Republicans released a report lamenting the fact that the FBI had not yet identified a suspect. 'Despite its initial efforts, the FBI has yet to identify the suspect and has refused to provide the Subcommittees with additional information about these investigative leads,' the interim staff report released Thursday by the House Administration and Judiciary committees said. The suspect placed pipe bombs in a Capitol Hill neighborhood near the RNC and the DNC on Jan. 5, 2021, between approximately 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. the night before the Capitol riot. The FBI has said the pipe bombs, which were discovered 15 hours after they were placed, were viable devices, or real bombs that could have seriously injured or killed innocent bystanders. David Sundberg, assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington field office, said that agents, analysts and data scientists have visited more than 1,200 residences and businesses, conducted more than 1,000 interviews, reviewed approximately 39,000 video files, and assessed more than 600 tips about who may have placed pipe bombs on Capitol Hill in January 2021.
