Alexander Nathaniel Rausch was a white supremacist and the prime suspect in directing and assisting Brian Egan to commit two gas bombs attacks on African-Americans, in attempts to start a race war.
Rausch was as the only child of his parents born July 21, 1943 in Amenia, New York. He graduated from West Point, did three tours of duty in Vietnam, and was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Distinguished Service Medal.
Just as Rausch was escorted to the train station for extradition back to New York City, he suffered a heart attack and died.
