His brother, Tamerlan, died after a gun battle with police.Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had what appeared to be gunshot wounds to his head, neck, legs and hand when he was captured, according to the criminal complaint accusing him in the marathon blasts.Tsarnaev has been less talkative since authorities read him his Miranda rights three days after his capture. But the information the teenager gave investigators in two sessions of questioning has produced good leads, a U.S. law enforcement official said. FBI: Search of dump tied to suspect endsSince the pair of blasts turned celebratory cheers into screams of horror at the Boston Marathon's finish line, investigators have kept working -- interviewing people and searching for evidence, even when it meant sifting through trash -- to find out why.One of the most recent focuses of the probe was a landfill in New Bedford, Massachusetts, adjacent to the town where Tsarnaev attended school at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth.Authorities finished combing the dump for clues that may shed light on the bloody attack on Friday, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller, who wouldn't say whether they found anything. A law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation had said investigators were looking for Tsarnaev's laptop computer.Evidence photos from Boston bombings 15 photosEvidence photos from Boston bombings 15 photosEvidence photos from Boston bombings – A police forensics team examines a boat in a yard on April 22, 2013, on Franklin Street in Watertown, Massachusetts, where bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was discovered.Hide Caption 1 of 15Evidence photos from Boston bombings 15 photosEvidence photos from Boston bombings – Massachusetts State Police released thermal images of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding in a boat in a backyard in Watertown on April 19, 2013, which helped lead to his capture.

It's unclear why the Russians were eavesdropping on the mother or for how long.One of the officials declined to say whether that wiretap information could have made a difference in ultimately uncovering a future attack on the United States.Tom Fuentes, a CNN contributor and former FBI assistant director, said the FBI would have found that information helpful when the Russians asked U.S. investigators to look into Tamerlan Tsarnaev for a possible shift toward increasing Islamic extremism in 2011.Family in RussiaThe brothers' mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaev, said Friday that she and her husband had left their home in Dagestan for another part of Russia.Their father, Anzor Tsarnaev, had said he'd planned to travel to the United States, but that trip has been delayed indefinitely for health reasons. The mother has said she will not return to the United States, where she is wanted on felony charges of shoplifting and destruction of property.The family lived in Massachusetts before Zubeidat Tsarnaev jumped bail after her arrest on the charges in 2012. The parents moved to Dagestan, a semiautonomous republic in southern Russia that year.Zubeidat Tsarnaev has denied the reality of the bombing. She believes it was fake. She said she has seen a video pushing the wild idea, and that there was no blood, that paint was used instead.Botched hijacking thwarts plans to head to New YorkThree days after the marathon attack, and hours after authorities released images of the two suspects, they spontaneously decided to go to New York's Times Square to blow up their six remaining explosives, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told investigators.But a botched carjacking spoiled the impromptu road trip, said Tsarnaev, whose account was outlined by New York's police commissioner.Before forcing their way into a vehicle the night of April 18, the brothers fatally shot a campus police officer at MIT, police said.The vehicle they subsequently hijacked, a Mercedes sport utility vehicle, ran low on fuel, and they stopped at a service station, where the vehicle's owner escaped. Shortly thereafter, police picked up the trail of the SUV and pursued it. Authorities say the men threw bombs out the vehicle's window at them. The gun battle and Tamerlan Tsarnaev's death followed.Boston Marathon BombingsBeyond BostonSurvivors of three earlier bombings describe their journeys forward — and offer poignant words for those just one year away from the day that changed their lives.A year later, Boston perseveres"United, we will always persevere."
