Rudolph should be considered armed and dangerous. Call FBI or ATF office if you have any information. 12:40:29
Rudolph's truck was seen near the clinic following the blast and investigators traced it to this mobile home in North Carolina. The trailer, the truck and a storage facility believed to have been used by Rudolph have been searched and the evidence seized is being examined by FBI crime labs. While agents have been looking nationwide for Rudolph for the past two weeks, they think the 31 year old army veteran is hiding out where he feels comfortable.

He's an outdoorsman. You can bet he may be in the woods, we're searching there. He's probably in the North Carolina woods. 12:59:45
An off-duty policeman working as a security guard was killed and a nurse was critically injured in the Birmingham bombing. The charges issued against Rudolph could result in life imprisonment or death. But law enforcement officials say they hope they don't have to use deadly force to bring in their man.
