Writing on the FBI website, FBI executive Chris Swecker said of Rudolph's condition when he was found: "He was thin, much thinner than when he first went into the mountains, but in very good shape. When he investigated, however, he found Rudolph looking in a dumpster for food. CBSĪfter five years hiding out, Rudolph was arrested in Murphy by a police officer who suspected burglary of a supermarket was in progress. A lot of the manhunt involved sitting and waiting in the woods looking for Eric for years."Ĭameron Britton as Richard Jewell in 'Manhunt: Deadly Games'. We wanted to capture the true feelings by fictionalizing our timeline," executive producer Andrew Sodroski said of this to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In the show, however, the two are intertwined. Jewell was cleared as a suspect three months after the 1996 bombing, while Rudolph did not emerge as a suspect until February 1998, when the bombs he used in other attacks were found to match the one that was set off in the Olympic Park. In reality, their time as suspects did not coincide. The CBS show, however, makes one big change to the stories of Jewell and Rudolph. The fugitive, however, managed to evade police capture by hiding in the forests of North Carolina, living on acorns, salamanders and whatever he could find dumpster diving in nearby Murphy. Rudolph earned a place on the FBI's Most Wanted List in 1998, with a $1 million reward for information leading to his capture. The hunt for Rudolph truly lives up to the series' name, as it was an epic manhunt that took five years. CBSĪs such, Manhunt: Deadly Games is much more about Rudolph, who was arrested in 2003 for setting the pipe bomb at the Olympic Park, as well as three other bombings, including explosives set off at two abortion clinics and a lesbian bar.
'Manhunt: Deadly Games' tells the story of 1996 Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph, who is played in the CBS/Spectrum series by Jack. Though the two projects were filmed at the same time, they were independent of each other, and the Manhunt: Deadly Games had not seen the film when they made the series.īoth versions of the story are based on different sources Richard Jewell was based on the Vanity Fair article "American Nightmare: The Ballad of Richard Jewell" and the book The Suspect: An Olympic Bombing, the FBI, the Media, and Richard Jewell, the Man Caught in the Middle, while Deadly Games is based in part on the Maryanne Vollers book Lone Wolf, which is mostly about Rudolph.
If the name of Richard Jewell sounds familiar, that is because he is also the subject of recent Clint Eastwood movie Richard Jewell, which told the story of his time as a suspect in the bombings and how he received a trial by the media. In the CBS/Spectrum series, we explore the lives of the two suspects: Park security guard Richard Jewell (Cameron Britton), who the media hounded after he was thought to be a suspect due to fitting the profile of a "lone gunman," and Eric Rudolph (Jack Huston), a right-wing radical with links to Army of God, a militant anti-abortion terrorist group. This time, however, the series is tackling the real-life events of the 1996 bombing of Atlanta's Olympic Park, which killed one person and injured 100. Like the first season of Manhunt, the show tells a true story.
