FBI releases POI photos and $100k reward
Patel: first photos 10 a.m. local 11 Sep; $100,000 reward 10:45 a.m. Facial recognition on the CCTV had already failed. Four more photos that evening, then the rooftop video ~8 p.m. briefing.
The public photos, not the facial-recognition pipeline, are what the family later said they recognized. That is an identification method. It is also how a manhunt ends when the computer does not.
