The latest information from various media continues to paint an increasingly sketchy network of associations.

First, according to investigative leaks to NBC News the entire operation had been planned for several years.  Both Syed and Tashfeen had been target practicing for quite some time and included discussions of the attack back in 2012:

San Bernardino terror couple Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik spent at least a year preparing for their terror attack, NBC News has learned, practicing at a local gun range and making financial plans for their family after their deaths.

And the husband may have discussed an attack as many as three years ago, law enforcement sources said Tuesday.

Two sources said Farook and Malik had practiced their shooting skills at a Riverside, California-area gun range for a year or more before last Wednesday’s attack on a holiday office party. They killed 14 people and wounded 21 more with firearms at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino.  (read more)

It also appears that Enrique Marquez married the sister of Syed’s brother’s wife.  However, they were never seen together and it appears to be a “Green Card Marriage” only :

Marquez, along with Farook and Malik, attended the mosque, officials have said. In 2014, records show, Marquez married a woman named Mariya Chernykh — the sister of Tatiana Farook, who is married to Syed Rizwan Farook’s brother, Syed Raheel Farook.

Both Tatiana and Syed Raheel Farook were witnesses at the ceremony, according to public records.

Enrique Marquez and Mariya Chernykh also listed their home address as the same one belonging to Syed Raheel Farook and his father.  (read more)

Marquez is now out of the hospital:

Marquez could become a subject of the investigation depending on what the FBI learns, an unnamed federal source told The Washington Post.

Farook lived next door to Marquez for several years, until Farook moved to Redlands last year. They were friendly, sharing an interest in working on cars, neighbors say.

Authorities raided the Marquez family’s house over the weekend, but authorities said Sunday that Marquez had not been arrested.

His family last had contact with him about 2 1/2 hours after Wednesday’s shooting, a neighbor said. He told them he was OK, but that he wasn’t coming home.

Marquez checked himself into a mental health facility Friday, the Post reported. Authorities said he has since checked out and been questioned by the FBI, which is interested in learning about the guns he provided as well as whether he had any knowledge of the plot.

The FBI is also investigating whether Marquez and Farook had talked about getting into “badness,” said another official. (read more)

And further information into Syed Farook shows his cell phone had pictures of a local High School.  Possibly casing a location for part of their terrorist intentions:

San Bernardino mass shooter Syed Farook had multiple photos of a Rialto high school on his cellphone, according to sources close to the investigation.

As a health inspector for the San Bernardino County Department of Health, Farook inspected the majority of Rialto Unified School District’s 30 food preparation facilities twice a year, according to the district.

According to sources close to the investigation, FBI investigators searched Carter High School in Rialto on Monday after multiple exterior photos of the school were discovered on a cellphone owned by Farook.

“We are cooperating with the FBI as well as local law enforcement,” Rialto Unified spokeswoman Syeda Jafri said Monday afternoon.

Farook’s signature, which is clearly legible on his letter grade ratings of Rialto Unified food service facilities, has been covered up by Post-it notes by staff at many of the locations, so as to not alarm patrons, Jafri said.  (read more)

Still no information on the missing Go-Pro camera or possible video angle; nor any information on random CCTV video which might have incidentally caught their travels that day.

Nor is there any information about Dash-Cam footage from the police, or any information about the terrorists whereabouts in the (roughly) three hours between the initial shooting and the SUV chase.
