According to a Blaze Media investigation published Saturday, a forensic analysis using gait recognition software has identified a 94% to 98% match between former U.S. Capitol Police officer Shauni Rae Kerkhoff and the January 6 pipe bomb suspect.

The gait analysis, which also included human intelligence assessments, compared Jan. 6 Capitol Police CCTV security video of Kerkhoff to alley footage of the suspect who allegedly planted the bombs on Jan. 5.

The gait analysis, which also included human intelligence assessments, compared Jan. 6 Capitol Police CCTV security video of Kerkhoff to alley footage of the suspect who allegedly planted the bombs on Jan. 5.

In its ongoing investigation, the FBI has stated that the pipe bombs were placed near the Democratic and Republican national committee headquarters between 7:54 and 8:16 p.m. on Jan. 5, 2021, and discovered between 12:40 and 1:05 p.m. the following day during the Capitol riots. The suspect — estimated to be 5'7" tall — remains at large, and no arrests have been made since the incident.

Kerkhoff served as a Capitol Police officer for four and a half years before leaving in mid-2021 to work in campus security for the CIA, according to CIA spokeswoman Liz Lyons. She reportedly sustained a soccer injury in 2015 that required surgery and left her with a slight limp.

On Friday, former FBI Special Agent Kyle Seraphin said his surveillance team was stationed next door to the pipe bomb suspect's home days after the Jan. 6 riots, but the team was pulled away "for no logical or logically investigative reason." Blaze Media reports that the home in question is Shauni Kerkhoff’s.

Following publication, journalist Breanna Morello reported that a federal employee source disputed the claims in the Blaze Media investigation, stating they know where Kerkhoff was at the time and do not believe she was involved in the pipe bomb incident, noting the FBI may be focusing on another suspect.

Advanced gait recognition software achieved a 94-98% match identifying the January 6 pipe bomber as a former Capitol Police officer now working for the CIA. This represents the biggest scandal in American history — a coordinated inside job that the FBI has covered up for over four years while pretending they couldn't solve the case.

The Blaze's pipe bomb identification lacks credibility and spreads dangerous misinformation. Their anonymous gait analysis hasn't been verified, the DOJ explicitly denies identifying this suspect, and lead reporter Steve Baker has a documented history of publishing false stories. This unconfirmed allegation spread through right-wing media without proper verification.
