There was also a woman in close proximity, but they are not asking about her. But maybe she’s already been in contact with them.

Aghh this is the person that the suspect ran from and then they ran toward him! I mentioned earlier I am surprised they haven't asked for helping in identifying THIS person and here it is. I also wonder if they have ID'd the woman in white that crossed the street prior to the suspect. I don't think they directly passed each other, but she might have seen him walking toward her before she crossed the street and then he followed behind but went a different way once crossed the street.

Great minds and all..

Maybe Grant Hughes was onto something, then. I had assumed that LE had already spoken with people who crossed the POI's path. It's interesting that this person, who may be female, apparently hasn't come forward yet.

Could they be someone who knew the POI's plans and was trying to stop him?

I wonder where the photo of the person was taken.

Given the intense publicity, it's odd this guy did not contact police earlier.

Ummm....

Feminine figure, feminine hips, a feminine handbag on the shoulder.

Just saying

They seem to be doing everything a stage or two later than they should. Contacting late the neighborhood folks for camera footage, still interviewing classmates and professors (when some would already have gone home for the holidays), not releasing this individual identification request at the time of the presser. Also releasing that weird “enhanced” image before the presser, releasing and then deleting the map video before the presser without good explanation. And of course arresting the wrong person. Gives a chaotic feel but maybe they are under resourced?

It looks like the yard of the Rhode Island Historical Society Aldrich House (110 Benevolent) based on the fence. We saw footage of the other person walking by there. I could be wrong, though!

Could it be the wife of the POI, trying to stop him from his planned course of action? If it's someone either in cahoots with the POI or at least who is trying to protect him, that would explain why they didn't speak with LE.

So after watching the GH video, I am curious why LE hasn't asked for any of the people who crossed paths with him to come forward. There was one woman in white walking and then we see the second guy in black who the suspect was running from and then the guy was also seen running toward the direction the suspect was. I would think either of those 2 would be good witnesses to at least see what they remember. I for sure would think they would want to talk to the second guy in black seen running.

Maybe they read your post here @justtrish

I was coming to post this EXACT thing. I google street view walked it and this is exactly where it is and the person is inside the yard so at some point they walked into that yard. If you look on google on Cooke Street the side of that building and look across the street there is brick beams on the fence exactly where they are behind this person.

This is also where we see the guy running and then this person running. Then the suspect rounds the block and is seen running back toward this area. I say either a bag or item was left or some type of exchange happened.

Oh, I doubt that! I just know in other cases LE has asked for specific people to come forward and this was odd that they had this guy running from this person and then this person running after the guy and they didn't mention wanting to talk to them. As someone just stated above it seems they are just a step behind what seems logical each step of the way, but I know it can't be easy with all the footage they are likely receiving and all the kids they needed to interview and so on. It just feels like they are a day or two behind each time they release something or as for something. Maybe there is a reason for that we don't know about.

So strange. If the one person was handing off that bag to the POI, why not drop it into the bushes or wherever rather than all this running which imo just attracts more attention?

Agreed. If this was a "dead drop" like one done by Cold War spies, wouldn't the two people act all cool and casual?

I’m wondering if person 1 was waiting for some sort of visual confirmation from person 2 but they didn’t want to be seen together so he took off running, which ultimately ended up looking more conspicuous. I wish we had a time stamp of the photos of person 2!

If in fact that is the R.I. Historical Society Aldrich House, POI was there I believe at 14:38PM (#2) per the prior video sightings compilation. I don't see a time stamp on the 2nd person of interest photos above.

Interesting footwear on 2nd person request for help to identify, not clear enough to really determine but would like to see them up closer.

Just thinking about the DNA swabs, which is obviously an encouraging development.

I think he either discarded an item at some point, or perhaps more likely, DNA was recovered from the shell casings (he'd have touched them while loading the magazine).

Sorry if I missed it, just joining this here on WS.. is there a map available with shooting location and POI locations in videos?
