On a cold and rainy day in Boston thousands gathered to finish what two bombs stole from them. A one-mile run traced the home-stretch of the Boston Marathon, giving spectators, runners and victims a chance at closure.

Authorities are revisiting a triple murder in the Boston suburb of Waltham. One of the victims may have been a friend of bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Tsarnaev would sometimes spar at the same mixed martial arts gym where the victim worked as an instructor.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev met with the relative in Dagestan last year. Russian investigators want to know whether Magomed Kartashov influenced his cousin or introduced him to others who might have encouraged Tsarnaev to turn to terrorism. Kartashov's lawyer says her client is a preacher, not an extremist.
