Last week a pair of raccoon hunters led federal agents to that truck, mired to its axles in soggy woods near Rudolph's trailer in Murphy, a hamlet tucked into the southwestern corner of North Carolina. By the weekend, the FBI had enough evidence to charge Rudolph with the bombing and offer a $100,000 reward. That evidence, investigators say, includes explosives residue in the truck and in a storage shed Rudolph had rented, fibers from a blond wig like the one a witness had seen a man remove as he ran from the bombing scene, and a folding shovel...
...more than 100 federal agents and local officers on a manhunt across rugged terrain right out of the best-selling novel Cold Mountain. Agents of the FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms armed themselves with semiautomatic rifles and bulletproof vests as they searched Rudolph's trailer and poked cautiously under neighbors' porches and in their barns.

On the back of the truck in bright yellow lettering is a list of things sold at East Coast Custom Car: stereos, alarm systems, bed liners, 4X4 accessories, trailer hitches, fog lights, wheels "and so much more." I make a note to include these items in my accounts, then turn off toward the bay, which is winter blue already. The powerboats have disappeared. The cormorants swarm in a black mass near the mouth of a creek, their snake heads craning for invisible fish...
