The FBI is trying to figure out what the San Bernardino couple did in the 18 months after killing 14 people at a holiday party.

The Boston Herald reports that the FBI is seeking the public’s help in filling in the gap, which could be critical to understanding whether the couple was in contact with anyone else after the massacre.

So far, the FBI has found no evidence that the husband-and-wife terrorist team intended to strike another target.

Federal investigators also want to now whether Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 29, contacted anyone or stopped anywhere between the attack and the police pursuit.

“It’s possible that they stopped, whether it be a storage area, a residence, a business. It’s possible there was a contact made. We just don’t know,” David Bowdich, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said. “It very well may not be an important fact, but until we close that gap we just don’t know for sure.”
