FBI publishes series of photos from inside people's homes on Twitter and asks for public's help in identifying the homeowners to help save 'child abuse victims'
The FBI is appealing for information that may lead to the rescue of abused children, tweeting a cryptic image from inside a house, and asking for clues.
The agency issued their request for help as part of what they termed #SeekingInfoSaturday.
The photo they tweeted showed a room with white cupboards around the doorway.
A picture of a car with its doors opening upwards, like the Back to the Future DeLorean, is framed on the wall.
The agency tweeted: 'The #FBI is seeking information about this image, which may help lead to the rescue of child victims. If you notice something familiar, submit a tip at http://tips.fbi.gov.'

They added: 'No clue or piece of information is too small.'
The FBI then linked to 11 pages of more 'seeking information' posters.
Among the images they showed were a red baseball cap emblazed with the letter C; a calendar, illustrated with cars; a green chair and storage chest; and a bright blue t-shirt, with a picture of a cartoon witch.
A bedroom wall was covered in framed certificates, besides a clock with images of cats.

A red stained glass window was shown in another image, with an image of a dolphin on the glass.
One page showed a swimming pool, perhaps seen from a window, with dark green plastic lounge chairs.
Tips from members of the public are hugely important to the FBI's work.
'I think one of the most important things to know about the FBI's tip line, at www.fbi.gov, is every single piece of information that's submitted by an individual is reviewed by FBI personnel at FBI Headquarters,' said Special Agent Eric Reese, watch commander of the Public Access Center Unit, in an interview on the FBI's website.
'So there's nothing that goes unaddressed.
'We basically listen to everything that people want to submit and we give it its due diligence.'
