"Richard Jewell is not the hero he's been made out to be by the FBI, media, and some of his supporters. He was a man caught in the middle when every side wanted something from him."

Most Americans think that the bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics was a terrorist attack by Al-Qaeda, but what actually happened is more complicated. In this book, Kevin Salwen looks at the FBI's investigation of Richard Jewell and how the media covered his story.

The Suspect unveils the many events that led up to the bombing with a captivating, hard-hitting voice. It explores how the FBI got involved and how they were able to use Richard Jewell as an informant and investigative partner.

During the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, a bomb explodes during the opening ceremony. It is one of two bombs placed at Centennial Olympic Stadium by Eric Rudolph and detonated by him on September 20th, the day of the bombing. In addition to the bomb at Centennial Olympic Stadium, a pipe bomb explodes in a women's backpack on a crowded concourse between Gate 4 and Gate 8. These bombs killed 1 person and injured more than 100 people

On July 27th, 1996, Richard Jewell was an innocent man who had just finished a long day of work when he decided to stop by the local pool for some laps. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, as a bomb blew up in Centennial Olympic Park that would ultimately kill one person and injure more than 100 others. The crime left the FBI with a lot of questions about how certain events unfolded and who exactly was involved with it. An investigative journalist named Kent Alexander wrote this book detailing his perspective on what happened from his perspective. This particular audiobook is narrated by Paul Michael and is available for download on Audible.

In 1996 the Atlanta Olympics turned deadly when a pipe bomb exploded on the third day of the Games. The FBI quickly arrested Richard Jewell, an employee at Centennial Olympic Park who was attending work that day, and accused him of planting the bomb. In need of a scapegoat, they tried to blame Jewell for the explosion and he became a media spectacle.
