Someone mentioned that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s image going around the
corner from the Bombing in Boston on April 15 shows him still carrying a
backpack.
I have seen a conspiracy You Tube that claims that “fact” with a
quick circle surrounding the spot in question that they say the bag still is visible
but not so to me.
I looked at the area and had my doubts for a few seconds but I started with the original photo in The Daily Mail above, cropped it a
couple times and even sought out a Google version of the Brick wall of the
building on Fairfield and Boylston.

Google photos on their maps on average I estimate to
be approximately 18 months to two years old. The Google image is therefore
there long before the bombing.
The area in the brick wall behind Tsarnaev has some contrasts in different
bricks used.

The area on the left is full scale in the original photo. The area on the right is
compressed in the Tsarnaev photo and the area in question that might have been photo-shopped, the
brick work shows flaws in color and or texture that might coincide with the
outline of a backpack painted out of the picture.

While the government has the capability to fake photos. I do not
think they faked this one.
