Unfortunately, Rudolph is no closer to custody than he was four weeks ago, when he fled his house upon learning the FBI had named him as a suspect. "The agents here are acknowledging that he won't be caught anytime soon," says TIME reporter Greg Fulton from Birmingham. "But now that the other two bombs are part of the case, Washington's going to have to start dealing with the media -- beginning with why Rudolph's name was put out." Fulton says the Birmingham team expects the Washington FBI to hold a press conference soon.
