How exactly would the direction he's going help police out considerably?

He's turning right. He's takin' a right on Fairfield, according to the sign. Let's say that's south, for argument's sake. Like, you know, so what? He's gone in a southerly direction away from the crime. Does that mean they start looking south of where this picture was taken?

And how does he look like he's got a planned getaway? The guy in front of him is turning right too. Which one looks more planned than the other?
The direction he heads can help authorities identify a direction he was heading, and map out his exit route. Whether he's a suspect or not, there might be video cameras or people who saw this guy heading in a direction. Could be on foot, towards a waiting car, towards a train/bus, anything. But where he goes afterwards is extremely important and is likely being traced by the FBI.

If he's a suspect, you have to get all the facts and put the puzzle together of how these guys entered the scene, set off the devices, and exited the scene. The fact that Suspect #1 appears to be following behind in Ducay's photo may indicate a connection too (if it is him).

And knowing other pre-planned attacks, it is likely that no stone is left unturned by these suspects as to how they exit the scene. They want as little outside factors influencing their escape as possible. They devise the path of least resistance. I'd even say that if these guys are the suspects and it's premeditated, they've long since left the vicinity of Boston and moved away from the heat. Again, speculation though.

My graduate thesis was on intelligence analysis, so I'm not saying I know all the details of how the FBI does their job, but I like to believe I have a good idea.
