(( This afternoon federal agents again showed up at securtiy guard Richard Jewell's apartment.
They stayed about an hour.
They took in a black knapsack and tackle box, and carried out a plastic bag.
Jewell is still the subject of an intense FBI investigation.
For three days now the fbi has had a hold of boxes of items taken from Jewell's apartment and former residence.
The FBIi will not say whether any of those items are somehow related to saturday's bombing.
CBS News has learned that investigators have finished their analysis of the 911 phone call made just before the attack .... and that Jewell does not appear to be the one who called.
Meantime friends and relatives gathered in another part of Atlanta to bury Alice Hawthorne, the 44 year old mother of two who was killed in centennial park.
Hawthorne was visiting the games with her 14 year old daughter fallon who was also hurt in the blast.
Security at the games remains tight.. with everyone stopping to be searched... in the past week, there have been several dozen bomb scares around the games.
There was even another brief scare at centennial park Friday night when a police dog paused at a package... it turned out to be nothing.
And even though Richard Jewell has not been charged with anything-he is now named in a lawsuit by a woman who was injured.
Nancy davis accuses Jewell and park security of not evacuating visitors fast enough.
