TSARNAEV PHOTOS

Maybe the FBI can't be blamed for letting Tamerlan Tsarnaev go after his 2011 interview. But why didn't his interviewers identify him before his picture was released to the public? The Daily Beast's Michael Daly investigates.

REBUILDING

Businesses are expected to completely reopen Wednesday along the Boston Marathon route—although the area remained haunted by the bombing that killed three and injured more than 200. "I'm a little lost," said Charlesmark Hotel manager Leah Bishop. "I'm still shaken up." Doors along Boylston Street on Tuesday, one of Boston's busiest commercial streets, were still tagged by "OK" or "Locked"—the aftermath of the inspections for safety. Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden will speak Wednesday at the funeral of Sean Collier, the MIT campus police officer killed by the Tsarnaev brothers. Thousands of law enforcement officials are expected to attend as well.

SEARCHING FOR SURVIVORS

Estimates of close to 100 people were killed near Bangladesh's capital of Dhaka Wednesday morning when an eight-story garment factory collapsed. Hundreds gathered at the site of the accident—where officials fear more remain trapped under the rubble. Health Minister A.F.M. Ruhal Haque reported that more than 600 people had been rescued, and hoped that more would be added to that number. Bangladesh has received harsh criticism for its factory conditions after two other deadly fires at garment factories in the past year—one of which left 112 dead.

MYSTERY NOT SOLVED

Charges against ricin suspect and Elvis impersonator Paul Kevin Curtis, who was earlier released from jail, were dropped on Tuesday. At the same time, a new house, home to disgraced politician J. Everett Dutschke, was searched by federal authorities. Curtis was charged last week with sending poison-laced letters to the White House and a U.S. senator. Based on his quick release, many claim he was framed. A search of Curtis's car and home produced no ricin, and a sweep of his computer for suspicious activity revealed nothing worrisome.

RIDE-ALONG

After torpedoing a CPAC panel on race relations with comments about "his people," a young white supremacist is conducting patrols to "protect" white classmates at Baltimore's Towson University. Caitlin Dickson rode along with the man the Southern Poverty Law Center calls "the future of organized hate."
