Months turn into years, and Eric Rudolph remains on the loose, moving through the Appalachian Mountains from camp to camp. He eludes police as the world speculates whether he is alive or dead. He is not just on the run, though. While on the lam he plans and plants more bombs.
But why? What radicalized this man who, according to friends, didn’t think all that much about abortion, gay people or a New World Order?
Can he blame family? Neighbors? A fondness for Adolph Hitler and Timothy McVeigh? Sure. But there is more to his anger than that. Join us on the whirlwind ride from a brazen armored car robbery in California that sought to fund extremists from coast to coast – including the antisemitic preacher in Missouri who once considered Rudolph a protege. And meet the men who are trying to make a whole army of Eric Rudolphs.
