Meanwhile, FBI Special Agent Jonathan Lund said in a statement that he reviewed footage showing a woman believed to be Williams directing rioters to the upper floors of Capitol Hill.

Williams is also said to be seen in the Small House Rotunda on Capitol Hill, near the stairs that lead to Pelosi's room. Williams is also suspected of having fled, after security officers in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where Williams came from, visited his residence.

Officers only met the mother who said her daughter had packed a bag and left saying she would not be back for several weeks. However, it does not say where he went.
