Plot hole: The movie establishes that the FBI has a list of suspects thanks to security camera footage from the area where the victims were found. "A red headed man, two African Americans above average height, a white haired man." Then, the zinger; "a man in his 30s with a tattoo of a rabbit or an animal on his right arm", which of course is our guy Josh Hartnett. We see the tattoo, and it's a little doodle of a sheep, about a couple square inches big, below his wrist. That doesn't really make sense; if they have security footage with that level of detail, one wonders how could the rest be so vague. The next entry mentions "a male with a scar on his jaw", which is even more absurd. Either the security cameras picked those details up along with the suspect's full appearance and mugshot, or they just can't know with such certainty (if the suspect was masked or concealed in any way, then they would know for sure it was the killer and wouldn't be chasing people with wildly different appearances).
