Bombing suspect's wife DNA doesn't match bomb evidence; Investigators "skeptical" about Katherine Russell's story

CBS News) CBS News has learned the DNA and fingerprints on bomb fragments found at the Boston bombing scene do not match those of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's widow, Katherine Russell.

But Russell is still under scrutiny due to her proximity to the suspected Boston bomber, according to CBS News senior correspondent John Miller, a former assistant FBI director.

"I think they're very skeptical about (her story)," Miller said on "CBS This Morning." "But again, 'skeptical' isn't proof and that's why they're trying to work through that and I think that's why her lawyers are slowing that down."

Investigators are looking at a phone call between Russell and Tamerlan Tsarnaev just hours after the FBI released a picture of him. Miller said the "nature of that call" is of particular interest.

Watch Elaine Quijano's report on the Boston bombing investigation below.

The M$M is desperately trying to turn this into a 'terrorist cell in the US' story.
Just another way to gin up fear.

It's hard to believe the three friends who were arrested or the widow had no idea what was going on with the bombers.
