On July 27th, 1996, a bomb exploded in the Olympic village in Atlanta, Georgia. Officers initially suspected Richard Jewell, the security guard who found the bomb, but he was cleared a few months after the attack. Because of this, the lawsuits against him by two of the survivors were dismissed. Authorities were back to square one.
