If Rudolph was in the habit of casually dropping into bars to use the public telephones, hundreds or possibly thousands of ordinary people were complicit in his escape.
Maybe Physicist can fetch his slide rule and start computing the dimensions of a Guantanamo-style terrorist prison camp for the country folk who didn't turn Rudolph in.
I have no sympathy for Rudolph; I believe he committed cold-blooded murder. But I do note with mild distaste the salivating joy and slathering zeal some posters are displaying which I believe betrays a covert disire to silence the pro-life side.
While the reponses have been interesting (to my query to Physicist), I will tell those interested in 'the rest of the story' that I called the Knowxville FBI office (# 1-865-544-0751) to report my 'possible sighting' and I was never contact 'directly' beyond that call. Mister Rudolph was worth one million dollars at that time, and I have posted before on the web that I would gladly turn him in--with his permission if he contacted me to do so--for the million to use in the pro-life information campaign. I've never been contacted by him, however.
BTW, I don't consider his killing (homicide) of the innocent security guard in B'ham, AL (at a clinic on the street where I'd made physican calls many times during my tenure as a pharmaceutical sales rep in B'ham) to be any different than the serial killers slaughtering innocent unborn children. Both behaviors are wrong ... killing begets more killing; killing innocents is not pro-life.
Only the really loud "BOOMS".
Point out one post. Otherwise, you're full of $#it.
