Rudolph in the Atlanta Olympics
From 1996 to 1998, a series of bombings in Atlanta and Birmingham resulted in two deaths and hundreds of injuries, initiating a five-year search for Eric Robert Rudolph, the suspected bomber. Rudolph evaded capture by hiding in the rugged mountains of western North Carolina.
Rudolph’s began on July 27, 1996, during the Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He planted a bomb in Centennial Olympic Park, which exploded and tragically took the life of a woman while injuring over 100 others. Prior to the explosion, he made two 911 calls to alert authorities about the bomb, yet the warning did not prevent the devastation. This attack marked the start for the next two years.
The following bombings occurred in Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama, leading to numerous injuries and the death of a police officer.
Due to the gravity of his crimes, the FBI added Rudolph to their Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on May 5, 1998. Despite an exhaustive search, Rudolph managed to remain hidden until his capture in 2003.
