As an aside ( but related to this bombing ), has the culprit of the Atlanta Olympic Centennial Park bombing in 1996 ever been captured?

The originally fingered the hapless Richard Jewell but let him go eventually.

If I remember correctly, they eventually implicated Eric Robert Rudolph.

Eric Rudolph (spit) pled guilty.

The definition of “hapless” is “unfortunate”. The fact that Richard Jewell found the bomb, alerted police, and helped get many out of danger is a reason to be highly fortunate that he was there that day. RIP Mr. Jewell.

Yeah, it was that nut, Rudolph, that set bombs at the abortion clinic, then lived in the hills for a year or two. Sawed off hs arm with a table saw. Then caught sneaking into town foraging for food.
Serving four life sentences for the murders. He confessed to the Olympic park bombing.
