Just ahead of the second anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, the FBI announced a $500,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the Capitol Hill pipe bomber.
The night before the attack on the U.S. Capitol building, a suspect placed two pipe bombs in Washington's Capitol Hill neighborhood. One was planted near the Republican Committee headquarters and another at the Democratic Committee building.
The investigation has been ongoing since the attack — with the FBI reviewing more than 39,000 video files and assessing over 500 tips from the public.
"We remain grateful to the American people, who have provided invaluable tips that have helped us advance the investigation," David Sundberg, assistant director at the FBI's Washington Field Office said.
While the bombs were not detonated, the threat was very real according to local and federal authorities. Not only are officials concerned with bringing the suspect to justice for the January 6 incident, there is worry that the individual still poses a threat to themselves and the general public.
Sunberg also noted that the increase in reward money from $100,000 to $500,000 is to encourage those who may be privy to information about the pipe bomber to come forward.
"Despite the unprecedented volume of data review involved in this case, the FBI and our partners continue to work relentlessly to bring the perpetrator of these dangerous attempted attacks to justice," Sundberg said.
