    If he has not been caught by now, he has to be getting help.

    Apparently the Red Sox game has been postponed now. I wonder if the guy is even in the city anymore.

    Crazy he's lasted this long. Hope it ends soon but starting to get worried.

    It's actually impressive considering the scope of the search.

    You gotta wonder if the guy just went into the woods and blew himself up, hoping nobody would ever find him.

    What I am wondering about is whether there was intelligence on there being a threat.

    It seems odd that these guys would be working there with a radiation detector.

    I am not a conspiracy theorist who thinks these guys did it. They look just as shocked as everyone else.

    But there must have been either a threat or some intelligence or perhaps some other reason that they hired these guys.

    My take...he is most likely dead somewhere...with all that gunfire, surprised he wasnt hit as well..

    So earlier they reported a foot race, and somehow he got away for this long?

    He either had help from others or blew himself up.

    ABC was saying that police believe he was hit during the shootout which would have made him "less mobile."

    Yeah, I'm hoping after all is over there is a good explanation of what type of security they were providing at the event.

    Jesus.... Are they just checking every single house? This guy could be in a sewer somewhere for all we know.

    That's my thinking as well. His brother had multiple bullet and shrapnel wounds and odds are he might have taken one as well. My guess is he bled out in someone's basement or attic.

    ridiculous. How can a footed suspect run away from ten thousand fully armed cops?
