Boston bomb investigators scour cell phone logs in bid to identify man in surveillance video

The painstaking work to identify a bombing suspect from reams of Boston Marathon footage yielded a possible breakthrough as investigators focused on a man seen dropping off a bag, and then walking away from the site of the second of two deadly explosions.

CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reports investigators are hoping cell phones for sale may produce an identification of the mystery man in the surveillance pictures. Investigators are scouring cell phone logs to find out who made calls from the site of the second explosion around the time the bombs went off.

Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Thursday the FBI wants to speak with individuals seen in at least one video from marathon, but she says she isn't calling them suspects. Without providing details of the men's appearance or what the video shows, Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee on Thursday that "there is some video that raised the question" of individuals the FBI would like to interview. She said the cheap iphone 5 cases investigation is continuing "apace."

Investigators are focusing on the man spotted near the scene of the second explosion, Orr reports. Sources say a nearby surveillance camera captured images of the swds3FSD man carrying a backpack and talking on a cell phone. While the FBI has not identified him, he's described as a young white man as tall as 6 foot 2.

On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission announced its first cellphone cramming case, accusing a company of taking advantage of consumers by tacking unauthorized charges onto their mobile bills.The messages — promising horoscopes, love tips and other services — are sent as premium SMS service. The technology, in legitimate use, allows a consumer to buy digital content like games, with the cost being added to the consumer’s phone bill.

But the F.T.C. said that Wise Media illegally charged cheap cell phone cases users. In the typical instance, those charges amounted to $9.99 a month and recurred indefinitely, showing up on a consumer’s bill “with abbreviated and uninformative descriptions.” While the initial text messages often included instructions to text “STOP” to a given number to end the messages, the F.T.C. said the company frequently failed to honor that request.
