After his capture by a rookie cop, Eric claimed he committed the bombings to stop abortion, but experts say otherwise.

Eric was able to survive in the woods for five years, a move he’d prepared for emotionally, mentally and practically for years prior to implementing his plans.

Eric’s anger over his father’s death, his rejection from the Special Forces, and his belief that he was superior to others fueled his violent hatred.

Eric Rudolph went into hiding in the woods once he got wind that law enforcement had issued a warrant for his arrest.

When the Centennial Park bomb was not as successful as he’d hoped, Eric Rudolph, the real bomber, planned more attacks on innocent civilians and law enforcement.

At the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Richard Jewell noticed a suspicious package in Centennial Park and saved hundreds of lives, but the media deemed him a “hero bomber.”
