Investigators told KSL Saturday they are still following leads since they released surveillance photos of the jumpers before their 420-foot plunge. Witnesses called police Friday to report two parachutes coming down from the building.

One witness managed to snap a photo with his phone. The jumpers gathered their parachutes and got away.

They could face trespassing, disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace charges -- all misdemeanors. Police have not yet released the names of the suspects.
