Investigation continues after the two explosives went off line of the Boston Marathon Monday, according to CNN.com. Authorities continue to stress that there are no definite suspects. Also the motive for the bombings is still unknown.
Law enforcement searched and removed materials from an apartment in Revere, Massachusetts Monday.
According to authorities, the two additional packages that were found Monday were not explosives. It was widely reported that law-enforcement detonated two packages that were believed to be additional bombs.
According to an announcement from Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick on Tuesday, the two bombs that exploded near the finish line were the only two bombs that existed.
The apartment searched in the investigation belonged to a young man from Saudi Arabia. He has been under guard at a Boston hospital, but is not in custody.
According to a law enforcement advisory, investigators told authorities to look for a “darker-skinned or black male” with a foreign accent.
According to Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, a number of individuals have been questioned.
“[It is] the most complex crime scene that we’ve dealt with in the history of our department” Davis said of the crime scene that has now diminished from 15 blocks to 12 blocks.
With the amount of security cameras, people holding smart phones, and social media, there are numerous videos being displayed though numerous mediums.
In addition to the security cameras, law enforcement has requested that anyone who has video from Monday’s events hand it over to authorities.
"People don't know that they were witnesses -- that they might actually have evidence in their phones or in their cameras," Juliette Kayyem told CNN. Kayymen is President Barack Obama's former assistant secretary for homeland security.
Commissioner Davis promised that law enforcement will “through every frame of every video."
President Barack Obama warned people to not jump to conclusion during a press conference in the Brady Press Briefing Room.
"We still do not know who did this or why," Obama said. "But make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this, and we will find out who did this, we'll find out why they did this.
"Today is a holiday in Massachusetts, Patriot's Day. It's a day that celebrates the free and fiercely independent spirit that this great American city of Boston has reflected from the earliest days of our nation, and it's a day that draws the world to Boston's streets in a spirit of friendly competition," he said. "Boston is a tough and resilient town, so are its people. I'm supremely confident that Bostonians will pull together, take care of each other, and move forward as one proud city and as they do, the American people will be with them every single step of the way."
He went on to say that “anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror."
Authorities also clarified that an explosion that took place at John F. Kennedy Library was related to a mechanical malfunction and was not caused by a bomb.
