MURPHY, N.C. _ FBI agents picked through the steep green hills of western North Carolina on Sunday, searching for clues left behind by Eric Robert Rudolph, the suspected Olympic park bomber who will make his first appearance in federal court today.

The agents _ some clad in camouflage and others riding all-terrain vehicles _ headed into the thick woods seeking answers:

How did Rudolph stay alive in this unforgiving backcountry wilderness? And did he have help eluding a massive manhunt during his five-year run from the law?

The FBI said little about its search Sunday.

The 36-year-old survivalist and white supremacist born in Merritt Island, Fla., was being held Sunday at the Cherokee County jail in downtown Murphy, where gun-toting officers kept the curious away. He was waiting to be taken to a federal courthouse in Asheville, about 110 miles northeast of this mountain village, for a hearing Monday.

Rudolph, who was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, has been charged with bombings across the South that killed two and injured more than 150.
