Bomb Suspect Eludes Capture

It's been nearly two years since Eric Rudolph set off his last bomb and it was that one outside a Birmingham, Alabama, abortion clinic that led police to identify him and led Rudolph to disappear into his native North Carolina mountains, reports CBS News Correspondent Jim Stewart. No lawman has laid eyes on him since.

In the meantime, they have charged Rudolph with the two bombings and two more attacks.

He has earned a place on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list and never led to the kind of tips they hoped for. With every changing season, there have been fewer and fewer leads.

Some mountain cabins have been broken into, but no one can say for sure it was Rudolph. Despite predictions by some lawmen that Rudolph is dead, former senior FBI agent Jack Dalton says he's alive.

"He's spent a lot of time up there," Dalton said, "and I don't think he's going to go that easy."

Rudolph has gotten under the skin of the FBI and ATF. Now they intend to catch him one way or the another.

U.S. Attorney Doug Jones, who is overseeing the Rudolph case, told CBS News Early Show Anchor Bryant Gumbel the case still remains a priority and is still a worldwide manhunt, although authorities have scaled back and taken a different approach.

"The fugitive hunt is ongoing and still active. They moved from a tactical investigation into more of an investigative phase using local law enforcement," Jones said. "From our perspective we're still preparing the case and it's ready as soon as he's captured."

Jones said the fugitive's chances of eluding authorities are probably pretty good.

"I've been up there and somebody who knows those woods can stay hidden out for quite a long time," Jones said.
