BOSTON, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Social media sleuths are on the hunt for an unknown good Samaritan in Boston with an eye for iconography who was photographed shoveling the finish line of the Boston Marathon amidst Tuesday's winter storm.

The photos were taken from the Charlesmark Hotel, which overlooks the finish line from Boylston Street, by Philip Hillman.

In an attempt to solve the mystery, Mashabe contacted the Charlesmark thinking it may have been one of their employees, but the hotel had no information to offer.

"We don't know who it is," an employee said. The hotel has received multiple calls inquiring about the shoveler

Hillman and his friends are trying to spread the photographs around social media to identify the shoveler, using the hastag #whoshoveledthefinishline.
