Annotated Map of the 2021 Pipe Bomb Route

Annotated satellite map of central Washington DC with timed text labels, arrows and dots tracing a route between two party headquarters buildings

What This Image Shows

An annotated satellite map covering central Washington, D.C., from the United States Capitol south to Virginia Ave SE, with text overlays, arrows and colored dots plotting a timed route.

The annotations read: "White Hyundai Turned 7.16," "Bomber First Seen 7.34," "Bomber Looking Around 7.40," "Plants Bomb 7.52," near the DNC building; then "Back A: 8:00," "Cole Nissan? seen at 8.03," "Plants Bomb 8:14" near the RNC building; plus "White Hyundai U Turn hits Kerb," "Waves to Cop?," "Bounce luggage Stor No Cameras," "Lockers in 3 Taps" and "3 Parks Car?".

This concerns the still-unidentified person who placed pipe bombs at the two party headquarters in Washington on the night of January 5, 2021, not the events at Utah Valley University. It sits in this backlog because the analytical method is the same one applied throughout this archive: build a minute-by-minute route from surveillance frames, then ask which cameras should have covered the gaps and why nothing was produced from them. Every annotation is the mapmaker's reading. See Technology and Surveillance, FBI and Maps.
