No, not the former Capital Police officer. "Brian Cole named as Virginia 'anarchist' accused of planting pipe bombs outside US Capitol on eve of January 6 riots"--Daily Mail.
The hunt for the suspect was one of the largest in FBI history, and investigators struggled for years to piece together evidence collected in the chaotic aftermath of the January 6 riots.
This included subpoenaing box store retailers for credit card data to find customers who bought specific kinds of battery connectors used to manufacture the bombs.
Agents tracked down purchasers of the battery connectors to those whose phones were locate near the DNC and RNC headquarters at the time the bombs were planted, but the FBI found there was no credible match.
The article says that the arrest wasn't based on any new evidence, but reanalyzing the evidence they already had. No information was given, though, about what evidence linked Cole to the pipe bombs.
