The police did take her cellphone from her when they first appeared at the house on Norfolk Street. I just read it in an early article this morning and am trying to find it again.

This is why I thought there was a faction involved bc the conspiracy stuff started right away. I started following the initial posts almost right away bc I couldn't stand what happened after Sandy Hook - the Truther idiocy should be illegal imo bc it re-victimizes the victims over and over again. I started obtaining links & taking snapshots, sent some to a mod here bc it was obvious to me what these crazy people were starting. They were making it political warfare that's religiously motivated. Its not right to do that imo. Anyway, I started following certain areas on the www, most especially the ones that started on the conspiracies right away, and it just looked/s to me as though it was planned. I know what is released to the public is sometimes different, maybe that's to dull down the hype that can fester into hate crimes, but from what I was following it seems as though more & more intel continue to be brought to light. Its crazy.
Something else people were talking about on the net was the "stuffing" from the backpack shown in the pictures. It confuses me bc I didn't think its was "stuffing" from the backpack at all, I thought it was "batting" that was used as cushioning to keep the pressure cooker bomb secure in the backpack.
More importantly, I'd like to know what was used to secure the beebees (or whatever they were) in the pressure cooker. It was said that wax is used to secure the damaging metals & shrapnel in these bombs, but imo wax would have melted. In the picture I saw, the beebees (about 1/2 of them) were still stuck/adhered together, so I wonder if a heavy glue or silicone was used instead... Has that info been released? The reason I wonder about this is bc a heavy glue (such as E6000 or MonkeyGlue or something) would have taken time to cure so as not to smell anymore & harden. If so, with that amount used, surely somebody would have smelled something amiss in that small apartment of Tamerlan's...

i wonder if the reason they were so late getting to the bombing sites were that. DT had classes and didn't want to be absent (we have heard he was in campus post bombing but i don't recall hearing anything about that Monday. secondly if TT in fact had his daughter would he have waited for her to go down for a nap so he could run out do the bombing and get back in the time she was napping?

Patriot's Day is a MA state holiday, so DT would not have had classes at the state university.

I haven't seen this article before.
One of the suspected Boston Marathon bombers purchased two large reloadable mortar kits from a fireworks store in New Hampshire, an executive with the pyrotechnics company said Tuesday.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev paid $199 cash for two lock and load kits, each of which contained four tubes and 24 shells, said William Weimer, vice president of Phantom Fireworks. Such kits cannot be legally sold in some states, including Massachusetts and California.

The owner of the fireworks store goes on to say that only about 1.5 lbs. of explosive powder would have been harvested from the kits TT bought. He said more lethal "stuff" can be purchased at gun stores, hobby stores, and hardware stores.

From The New York Times article that was posted this morning:
http://wap.nytimes.com/2013/05/04/us/path-from-social-butterfly-to-suspects-widow-in-hijab.html
"On April 19, as the news spread that the Tsarnaev brothers were believed to have committed the marathon bombings and gone on a nightlong crime spree that involved the fatal shooting of a campus police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a carjacking and a gunfight with the police in which Tamerlan was killed, a neighbor knocked at the door of their third-floor apartment in Cambridge, where Ms. Russell had apparently just heard the news from a relative. “She was in utter shock,” the neighbor said. “Utter shock.”
Then law enforcement officers arrived and ordered them all out. Their downstairs neighbor Albrect Ammon, 18, said Ms. Russell, who was dressed all in black, tried to borrow a cellphone from another woman, but an officer snatched it away, saying she was the suspect’s wife."
April 19 was Friday, the day after the photos were released and the date the shootout on Laurel Street ended.
So, from this article it seems that Katherine was made aware of the shootout and the positive ID of her dead husband Tamerlan on Friday morning. It seems like everything and everybody descended on Norfolk Street on Friday morning.

ahhh. ok well then the nap option may be an option. until we here that the daughter was somewhere else.
I am guessing that when the police descended on the Norfolk Street apartment building that everyone was ordered out immediately with no opportunity to grab anything. I guess they did let Katherine get her kid, but not her cellphone or her keys, or anything else. Remember the photo taken the next day (Saturday) when Katherine returned to get her cat and a few other things? She had to get the landlady to let her in to the apartment building. Of course the door at the top of the stairs that opens to her apartment had been replaced with a piece of plywood. Remember the actual entry to the apartment is on the second floor, then take inside stairs to the third floor apartment. At least that is how I interpret the layout.
Interesting observations, Jersey Girl. I have not seen mention of this anywhere else.
The main difference between Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad, according to DT's tweets, is the sexual content of the shows. Game of Thrones is full of gratuituous sex scenes. Walt White, the main character in Breaking Bad, is almost asexual. He's certainly monogamous. Walts shows no interest in any women sexually outside of his wife.
DT refers to the women on GOT as "hoes." And we learn today in the NYT's article that no one is aware if he ever dated. IMO, he seems conflicted in his feelings for women.
Another note on Breaking Bad: those are so many explosions on that show, it would be impossible to recount them all. If you're interested, here's probably the most famous scene, the conclusion to season 4. Warning: it's graphic.

FBI searches Tsarnaev apartment as uncle arrives
Sunday, May 5, 2013
By: Laurel J. Sweet
"The FBI returned today to search the Tsarnaev familys Cambridge home, as the uncle of Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev visited a Worcester funeral home where the older brothers body lies awaiting a funeral.
We are conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity as part of our ongoing investigation into the Marathon Bombings, FBI Boston spokeswoman Katherine Gulotta said. Because the matter is pending, we arent able to discuss specific aspects of the case."

Sounds like too many people have had open access to that apartment. From the picture I posted yesterday, KRT and an unidentified man with a mustache and glasses carried out several bags on the weekend of the 20th.
She went back with the police and got the cat and on that trip she was wearing a different outfit.

Someone posted a link to all Jahar's tweets.
I noticed this:
"Got me a haircut, I don't usually do those Apr 13, 2013"
Remember, one of the Russian kids (I think) said he had cut his hair since the last time he had seen him, implying that he had cut it after the bombing? But, if this tweet is his and its accurate, it seems he had it cut a couple of days prior to the bombing. On the other hand, maybe he did both, had it cut on the 13th and further cut it himself after the 15th.

There were a couple pictures shown of the entrance way to the apartment, lots of sports equipment and shoes. On the steps is a container of spackling/hole filler. I wondered when I saw that if that could be used. I would think it would of been taken for evidence though.

I'm sure any cellphones in the house would be included in a search warrant.
I did find this dated 4/26 about cell phone records:
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2013/04/26/Boston-Bomber-Wife-Investigated-For-Tipping-Him-Off
Strange. He had a head full of hair on the day of the bombing. Of course, he could have had it trimmed, I suppose.
Did he actually give the date "Apr 13, 2013"? That's one specific date, so I don't understand what he means by "usually.".
Looks as though FBI taking all but the kitchen sink from TT's & KR's Cambridge apartment today. 2 photos at right of article here:
http://bostonherald.com/news_opinio..._searches_tsarnaev_apartment_as_uncle_arrives
http://bostonherald.com/news_opinio..._searches_tsarnaev_apartment_as_uncle_arrives
We haven't learned today from NYT that he "never dated."
His friends were not aware if he had a girlfriend.
He clearly dated, the article said he was popular with a lot of girls hitting on him. Sounds like a pretty typical behavior for someone who is 19.
Presumably that should have been done right from the start. Why was wife allowed to go back in? They should have removed the cat and locked the apartment up, making it a crime scene.
