In a startling development, forensic experts have linked Shauni Rae Kerkhoff, a former U.S. Capitol Police officer, to the pipe bombs discovered in Washington, D.C., during the January 6th riot. According to a report by Blaze News, gait analysis software has found a 94-98% match between Kerkhoff's movements and those of the pipe bomb suspect.
The analysis highlighted Kerkhoff's unique stride and slight limp, a result of a college soccer injury, as nearly identical to the suspect's movements. "The software rated Shauni Kerkhoff's gait at a 94% match to the pipe bomb suspect," a veteran analyst stated. "Based on my visual review, I’d personally estimate the match closer to 98%. The unique stride, the slight limp — it’s all there."
Kerkhoff, who served in the Capitol Police Civil Disturbance Unit, left the force in mid-2021 and later took a security role with the CIA. The implications of a law enforcement officer's potential involvement in the pipe bomb incident are profound, suggesting that the events of January 6th may not have been solely the act of outsiders as previously believed.
Former FBI Special Agent Kyle Seraphin has made even more alarming allegations, suggesting interference within the FBI itself. Seraphin told Blaze News, "The FBI put us one door away from the pipe bomber within days of January 6, and we were deliberately pulled away for no logical investigative reason." He went on to accuse the bureau of being complicit in a cover-up from the onset.
Nearly five years after the riot, the suspect behind the pipe bombs remains unidentified, despite FBI Director Christopher Wray's assurances that the bureau has "conducted all logical investigative steps and interviewed all logical individuals." However, agents were reportedly close to the pipe bomb suspect's address shortly after the incident, raising further questions about the investigation's thoroughness.
Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund has denied any knowledge of officer involvement in the planting of the devices, stating, "I had no knowledge that it was being carried out, nor were they carrying it out with any authorization from the chief’s office."
The new findings have reignited debates over the true nature of the January 6th events and who was ultimately responsible. If Kerkhoff's connection to the pipe bombs is confirmed, it could significantly alter the understanding of the day's events, casting doubt on the narrative that Trump supporters acted alone.
Blaze News has cautioned that this evidence "could start to unravel the carefully crafted, zealously defended Democrat narrative that massive crowds of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol as part of an insurrection." The story continues to develop as the public and authorities grapple with these revelations.
