I'm guessing they have more info than they're releasing?

Richard Jewell's story was heartbreaking.

If the FBI were looking for me for a crime I did not commit, I would go to them pronto. If these guys don't come out soon, then we can say they MAY have done it. Still doesn't make it so if they don't turn themselves in. But for me, it is a sign of possible guilt.

And yes, if they didn't do it they should already be at the FBI raising hell, especially since they were called "suspects".
