1. Summary

This document summarizes resources created by the online investigative community and other
links useful for understanding the Jan 6 Capitol attack. The community has archived more than
22,000 videos from January 5-6 and prior rallies, hashtagged and collected information on over
1700 suspects, and worked out the timing of events unfolding over the day, which allows
identifying signs of coordinated action.

5. Suspects databases

The Capitol Suspects Database currently tracks over 1700 individuals seen on Capitol grounds
on January 6th, 2021. A separate count has inventoried over 2000 individuals who entered the
Capitol building, most untagged. If the Washington Post estimate of ~15,000 people at the
Capitol is correct, nearly 25% of this total is tracked in some way.

● The CS database consists of a master spreadsheet holding all suspects and notes on
their actions and affiliations, an “appearance” spreadsheet with annotations useful for
filtering data, individual folders holding pictures for each perp, and for selected perps, a
full ‘media sheet’ listing video in which they appear. All are publicly accessible.
○ Main spreadsheet: bit.ly/CapitolSuspectsData
○ Developers: contact capitol.hunters@gmail.com for more information

● Visualization: several websites document “perps” at the Capitol on Jan 6.


Hashtagged perps
○ Jan6attack: https://jan6attack.com/individuals.htm. Holds all perp information,
