    Pox & Puss Presents: BONUS - Eric Rudolph and the Appalachian Trail Bandit

    We are only a few days away from celebrating the Pox & Puss Podcast's 10th anniversary. So, in honor of that day, we bring you b-b-b-b-bonus content from In The Pines, where Pox talks about his 1998 thru-hike and the cast of fugitives and bandits he met along the way. During the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, GA, Eric Rudolph detonated a 100lbs pipe bomb in Centennial Park. One person was killed and 111 were injured. Three more bombs went off in the weeks and months following the Olympic bombing. What took place after that was an all-out manhunt along the Appalachian Trail and in the Nantahala Gorge. The FBI was looking for Rudolph as far away as the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. Pox Holiday was thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 1998, around the same time Eric Rudolph disappeared into the mountains for almost 7 years. Pox was even questioned by a member of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park because he looked like a fugitive. In this episode, you will hear untold stories about the search for a domestic terrorist and his accomplices that never made it into a newspaper article or a television report. _____________________________________________________________ Sources https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/eric-rudolph  https://www.smokymountainnews.com/news/item/27038-2003-the-end-of-eric-rudolph-s-run https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Rudolph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Olympic_Park_bombing  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nantahala_School https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocoee_Whitewater_Center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski#Incarceration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jewell  https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/rudolph/bio.htm https://www.blueridgeoutdoors.com/features/the-hunt-for-eric-rudolph/ https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/fbi-probes-unabomber-connection-tylenol-killings/story?id=13638602 https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Eric-Rudolph-Timeline-7106329.php https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7398701  https://history.capitolbroadcasting.com/media-assets/into-these-hills-documentary-about-the-hunt-for-eric-rudolph/ https://www.police1.com/police-heroes/articles/former-security-guard-richard-jewell-memorialized-a-hero-ivkeQ57uGKNAQuVw/ https://baxterstatepark.org/general-info/ https://www.operationmilitarykids.org/types-of-military-discharge/

    In The Pines - Lake Lanier

    Lake Sidney Lanier is an artificial lake that was created in the 1950s by building Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River in northern Georgia. The 38,000-acre lake lies on top of the ruins of towns and farmland of over 700 families. Today, the lake has over 11 million visitors every year, about the same number of annual visitors as the Louvre. Lake Lanier is also one of the deadliest lakes in the USA. 500 people have drowned and many of their bodies have never been recovered. What is killing so many people in this lake? Underwater debris? Crazy currents? Could it be the ghosts of the Cherokee Nation who were driven out during the Trail of Tears? Maybe it's a curse caused by the people of Oscarville, whose once-thriving town is now at the bottom of a 200' deep lake.
