It's not just you. That's exactly what I thought as well.
Schweiger's character ("The Man") didn't know what the tatt looked like based on what we saw up to that point (no pictures shown on the board, no description from Archer), and he didn't have any physical evidence to use to track down "Tatt guy" because it blew up in the abandoned complex regardless of how good he might be.
This lead me to also believe he was another participant. Supporting evidence to that theory is Heller saying there was evidence found that led them to "The Man". If this is correct, he was really there, but there was a mistaken identity because Archer never mentioned the tatt in the police reports or to Heller. Therefore, they got one of the criminals, just not the right one that killed the kid.
The echoed question at the end is ambiguous enough to also be taken to mean it's an indicator of which of the several kids that "Tatt guy" might have killed.
