Now about that photo-shopped backpack:
This is the original photo of Dzhokhar running from the scene. He can be seen in the middle, far left hand side of the photograph in the white hat near the brick wall.
Here is a zoomed and cropped section of the same photo. (Feel free to take the original photograph and do the same for yourself for comparison purposes.)
- Notice the area of distortion behind Dzhokhar's back; approximately where his backpack would have been while running.
- Also notice the somewhat awkward positioning of his left hand, and the blur below his hand and fingers.
In this negative version of the photograph you can clearly see the distortion, or shadow, where something has clearly been either manually exhumed, or covered up, in the photograph.
Review the following videos and decide for yourself:
Let's move on to the photographs of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan taken at the Boston Marathon, reportedly taken by an onlooker ; essentially placing them at the scene.
- In this photo we can clearly see Whiskey's, and can just make out Tamerlan's hat in front of a trailing Dzhokhar.
- Whiskey's gray facade and the beginning of the brown that signifies Back Bay.
- In front of Back Bay.
- You can clearly see the Back Bay logo in red on the windows/doors behind the brothers.
- Same brown building in the background: Back Bay.
- Back Bay Restaurant, once again, behind the brothers.
- Still in front of Back Bay.
- These photos were taken by a reported "Boston Marathon veteran" Bob Leonard. Below is the link to the article confirming.
Now, let's take a look at the only photos taken that purportedly show Dzhokhar near the Forum Restaurant.
- This well-known photo allegedly showing Dzhokhar in front of the Forum restaurant and behind the Richards, is one of only two that purportedly show either of the brothers near either of the bombing scenes. The quality of this photo is far less than those taken in front of Back Bay and Whiskey's, making identifying the "suspect in the white hat" virtually impossible. ( Also, remember the bag circled as allegedly being that of Dzhokhar is NOT the same bag he is shown carrying in surveillance photos.)
- In the bottom right hand corner of this photo is an alleged photo of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev near the Forum Restaurant. The second of only two placing him near the scene. This photo was reportedly taken by a 22 year old from Daytona Beach. ( see article link below)

- This photo was said to have been taken at 2:44 pm, while the first bomb detonated at 2:49 pm. Notice how the photo is cut off at just such a way that we can not tell if Dzhokhar has his backpack or not, nor is there a time stamp to corroborate the time.
The questions that remain regarding this photos are as follows:
Basically, in conclusion, all we have here are pictures proving that the two brothers were seemingly at the Marathon with backpacks...along with thousands of other people.
- Why were the majority of these photos all taken in the same place? Are there any photos of them in other areas?
- Why do these photos seem to capture the suspects with great clarity and focus? Could it simply be a coincidence, or could it be something more?
- Why are the only two photos of Dzhokhar near the Forum restaurant either a) unfocused and therefor unidentifiable as in the first photo or b) perfectly cut off as to only show the head of the suspect, so that the bag is not visible, and it is therefor impossible to assert either way whether Dzhokhar still had it on him or not?
- Are there more unreleased photos of either suspect near their purported bombing sites?
- Why is there not a single photo of Tamerlan at or near the finish line, or anytime after the photos in front of Whiskey's and Back Bay?
- Where is the purported video of Dzhokhar placing the bag?
Basically, in conclusion, all we have here are pictures proving that the two brothers were seemingly at the Marathon with backpacks...along with thousands of other people.
