MURPHY, N.C. _ Wes Lackey, manager at the store in front of where Eric Rudolph was captured, was recollecting that he may well have seen him.

John and Gloria Robinson, who live near his last known address, wondered if Rudolph was responsible for break-ins at nearby vacation homes.

And law enforcement authorities using all-terrain vehicles combed the area around here as the reconstruction of Eric Rudolph's life on the lam continued Sunday.

The authorities were aided, according to Murphy Police Officer James Pack, with two maps that Rudolph had drawn for them of his campsite on Will Scott Mountain and they found, according to Mayor Bill Hughes, two sleeping bags that were believed to be Rudolph's.

All over this mountain town on Sunday, residents and authorities wondered how he avoided detection for so long and were grateful the man accused of four bombings across the Southeast was now in custody.

Inside the brick sanctuary of First United Methodist Church, the congregation offered a prayer of thanks that the manhunt had ended.
