Jewell owned an olive drab backpack similar to the one seen containing the three pipe bombs, and apparently fits the FBI profile of the bomber. Says TIME's Elaine Shannon: "They don't have a whole lot of evidence on him yet, but it may come pretty quickly. Still, they're not breaking out the champagne yet."

But the federal agents in Montana, at least, are convinced that the proof is in and the hermit of Lincoln and the Unabomber...
Instead of a bogus record that inevitably would have been challenged by a still younger child (the Guinness Book of Records officially discontinued its Youngest Pilot categories in 1989, fearing accidents), Americans have a macabre photo album of little Jessica. A mini-Amelia Earhart, in a leather bomber jacket and riding pants. A plucky, pug-nosed girl in a baseball cap who seemed more at home on one of her beloved ponies than in a plane...
