Authorities have reportedly identified an image of a young man carrying – and perhaps dropping – a black bag at the second bombing scene at Monday’s Boston Marathon.

The Boston Globe, citing an official who declined to be identified, said investigators are “very close” in the investigation. Authorities may publicize their finding as early as this afternoon, the Globe reports

A surveillance camera at Lord & Taylor, located directly across the street, has given investigators clear video of the area, according to the unnamed official.

“The camera from Lord & Taylor is the best source of video so far,” said Dot Joyce, a spokeswoman for Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino told the Boston Globe. “All I know is that they are making progress.”

Fox News has been told that the circuit board suspected of being used to detonate the Boston Marathon bomb has been recovered, and that FBI investigators continue to scan and analyze the cell phone tower records to identify positive hits for signs of calls that may have triggered both explosions remotely.

More information from the Boston CBS affiliate:

A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation says a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings is about to be arrested, the Associated Press reported.

The official said the suspect is to be taken into custody by federal marshals and taken to a Boston courthouse.

CBS News Senior Correspondent John Miller said investigators identified the possible suspect from video taken before the blasts. The pictures show an individual with packages who investigators think could possibly be the bomber, Miller said.

Just heard on Rush that Wolf Blitzer let the cat out of the bag. It's a dark skinned person.

Way too many conflicting reports .   Officials need to put out the truth to stop the rumors.
