On July 27, 1996, a hapless former cop turned hypervigilant security guard named Richard Jewell spotted a suspicious bag in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park, the town square of the 1996 Summer Games. Inside was a bomb, the largest of its kind in FBI and ATF history. Minutes later, the bomb detonated amid a crowd of fifty thousand people. But thanks to Jewell, it only wounded 111 and killed two, not the untold scores who would have otherwise died. With the eyes of the world on Atlanta, the Games continued. But the pressure to find the bomber was intense. Within seventy-two hours, Jewell went from the hero to the FBI's main suspect. The news leaked and the intense focus on the guard forever changed his life. The worst part: It let the true bomber roam free to strike again. What really happened that evening during the Olympic Games? The attack left a mark on American history, but most of what we remember is wrong. In a triumph of reporting and access in the tradition of the best investigative journalism, former U.S. Attorney Kent Alexander and former Wall Street Journal reporter Kevin Salwen reconstruct all the events leading up to, during, and after the Olympic bombing from mountains of law enforcement evidence and the extensive personal records of key players, including Richard himself. The Suspect, the culmination of more than five years of reporting, is a gripping story of the rise of domestic terrorism in America, the advent of the 24/7 news cycle, and an innocent man's fight to clear his name."--provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Centennial Olympic Park Bombing, Atlanta, Ga., 1996. 650 0 $a Centennial Olympic Park Bombing, Atlanta, Ga., 1996 $x Press coverage. 600 10 $a Jewell, Richard A. 610 10 $a United States. $b Federal Bureau of Investigation. 650 0 $a Bombing investigation $z United States $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Police questioning $z United States $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Criminal investigation $z United States $v Case studies. 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Salwen, Kevin, $e author. 941 $a 16 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20240621011134.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611012413.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314020724.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012023836.0 952 $l VQPC384 $d 20230114015527.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055334.0 952 $l XGPC697 $d 20211016011147.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061821.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529020859.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20200508024735.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200307010559.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20200222010413.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20200211011220.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20200204021134.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110082824.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191115081417.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17A88C86077611EA8979CD2597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
