With Rudolph Plea, Some Wonder if He'll Tell Who Aided Him as Fugitive

http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBA82IJD7E.html

MURPHY, N.C. (AP) - Kenny Jane Wade understands the anti-government sentiment that may have led some people here to help feed and shelter serial bomber Eric Rudolph during his years on the lam.

Wade, who owns a cabin near where some of Rudolph's stash of explosives was found this week, said the mistrust has been part of mountain culture since the days of the so-called revenuers - federal agents who arrested people for making moonshine during Prohibition.

"My grandfather owned a store," said Wade, a 58-year-old retiree. "He knew people that ran moonshine and he wouldn't turn them in because he knew their families would starve."

Although no one has admitted assisting Rudolph during his five years on the run in the Appalachian wilderness, investigators suspect he had help. Some here are wondering if there will be additional prosecutions now that Rudolph is talking to authorities as part of a plea deal to spare his life.

FBI finds explosives in Nichols home

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Tipped they may have missed evidence a decade ago, FBI agents searched the former home of convicted Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols and found blasting caps and other explosive materials apparently related to the 1995 attack, officials said Friday.

FBI officials said the material was found buried in a crawl space of the house in Herington, Kansas, which wasn't checked by agents during the numerous searches of the property during the original investigation of Nichols and Timothy McVeigh.

"The information so far indicates the items have been there since prior to the Oklahoma City bombing," Agent Gary Johnson said in a telephone interview from Oklahoma City.

FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza said in Kansas the materials were found in boxes, much of them wrapped in plastic, and were being sent to the FBI lab for analysis. The FBI is operating on the assumption the evidence was from the original Oklahoma plot, he said.

Victim wanted death penalty in Rudolph case

It sounds like a page-turning fiction novel. A nurse walks into work one day and wakes up two weeks later the victim of a fatal bombing.

But it’s reality to Alabama nurse Emily Lyons, a survivor of the 1998 abortion clinic bombing that killed police officer Robert “Sande” Sanderson.

And as Eric Robert Rudolph agreed to plea guilty on Friday to that bombing and to another in Atlanta, another chapter in Lyon’s life came to a close.

The couple had hoped for the death penalty, but they were approached several weeks ago and asked if they would instead approve of four life sentences. The trade-off would be information on where Rudolph had hidden 250 pounds of dynamite.
