Richard Allensworth Jewell, originally born Richard White on December 17, 1962, in Danville, Virginia, experienced a tumultuous early life. His parents' divorce when he was just four years old led him to grow up with his mother, Bobi, who later remarried an insurance executive, adopting the surname Jewell. The family relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, where Richard's formative years unfolded. He was known as a diligent and earnest young man, often taking on roles like a crossing guard and operating the movie projector at the local library. Despite his helpful demeanor, he struggled with building friendships during his high school years.
