Another high caliber episode. The Atlanta bombing is widely recalled due to the Olympics and the reasonable but mistaken belief that Jewell was the culprit. The FBI had dealt with criminals wishing to be seen as heroes, so investigating Jewell was part of the job of eliminating him as a suspect. Harsh? Yes. But the media deserves a large portion of the blame for overplaying the possibility that Jewell was not what he seemed.
That said, the series is "Catching Killers," so the focus rightly pivots to the subsequent bombings. Rudolph's pathetic justifications for setting off bombs at crowded places marks him as a terrorist, extremist, and coward. The mix of archival footage and recent interviews with law enforcement frames the story well.
It is worth being reminded that lowlife criminals are often admired by the gullible and foolish. Rudolph's time on the run led some to falsely mythologize him as some kind of folk hero whose crimes were admirable through a warped lens. Instead of using skills to avoid detection, he likely spent a lot of time in sympathizer's basements. Aiding and betting charges would have been proper had evidence made this possible. Rudolph was spotted going through a dumpster for subsistence. Soon after, he was cuffed and jailed.
Twenty years in jail (and counting) has sponged away any misguided notions of a man with principles. May the terrorist end his days in a cage. Hats off to the skilled law enforcement officials who worked hard and sacrificed to bring the killer to justice.
