Why did it take 7 years to find the Olympic Park Bomber?

For 5 years, the 1996 Atlanta Olympic bomber had been living on the lam in the woods. Locals sold shirts that read “Eric Rudolph: 1998 Hide and Seek champion.” Meanwhile, Eric ate salamanders, shot bears, and racked up the bill for one of the most costly manhunts in US history. How did he do it? What were his motivations? And why was he able to pull off four separate bombings before police finally nabbed him? Journalist Henry Schuster, author of Hunting Eric Rudolph, was there when that first bomb went off in Atlanta, and he joins us this week on Crime Story. About Crime Story: Fraud. Abduction. Murder. Every week, Crime Story host and investigative journalist Kathleen Goldhar goes deep into a tale of true crime with the storyteller who knows it best. 🎧 More Crime Story episodes: https://tinyurl.com/2cj5ehts ✨ Like this podcast?
