FBI agents watched the video “hundreds and hundreds” times.

For those investigating the Boston Marathon bombing, the video was a eureka moment, the Boston Globe reports, citing a “60 Minutes” video.

Stephanie Douglas, executive assistant director of the FBI’s national security branch, said the video, which has not been released, shows a man in a white cap droping off a backpack and then failing to turn his head like everyone else when the bomb exploded.

He does not do what everybody else in that video does. He does not turn to his left,” Douglas said. “He instead just stands there for a second or two and walks very deliberately back the same direction that he came in.”

Authorities believe the man in the video was Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the bombing suspects.
