We can only imagine what it is like to have a first-hand reflection of losing a loved one in the Oklahoma City Bombing. In this episode, one woman shares her detailed account of loss, the trial and the love showered by a community of support.
The evidence is beginning to pile up... and the members of the team sits around to discuss all of the details that have been revealed about the Oklahoma City bombing. As key pieces like the truck axle, the video of the Ryder truck, business cards and surface, all of the puzzle pieces begin to create a clear picture. FBI research reveals eye witness details from the Ryder rental company and more.
On April 23, 1995 a memorial service was planned for the survivors and family members of those lost in the Oklahoma City Bombing. Cathy Keating worked hard to secure wonderful speakers including Billy Graham. "The anger you feel is valid. But you must not allow yourselves to be consumed by it. Do not allow your hurt you feel must not be allowed to turn into hate, but instead into the search for justice. The loss you feel must not paralyze your own lives instead you must try to pay tribute to your loved ones by continuing to do all the things they left undone thus ensuring they did not live in vain." Words written by the widow and mother of three, her husband was on PanAm 103 when shot down and read by President Clinton during the memorial service. Ironically, the service was held on Timothy McVeigh's birthday.
So much evidence... a composite sketch, a business card, receipts and a debit card. There seemed to be a never ending trail of evidence pointing to McVeigh. But even more evidence strongly indicated he wasn't alone. From unearthing the Ryder truck rental to the scrambled written details on the back of a business card everything began to add up... initially. But, who's address was that on his driver's license? And what about the call made to a white supremacists group from his debit card? Who were Mahon and Strassmeir and what roles did they play? Who was John Doe #2?
Questions began to swirl as the investigation continued...
