The FBI supervisor who ran the Oklahoma
City investigation into the bombing of the federal building and the
veteran agent who was in command at the bombing scene say new
evidence is serious enough to warrant reopening the case.
The new evidence, detailed in documents obtained by The
Associated Press, shows FBI agents destroyed evidence and failed
to share other information that raised the possibility that a gang
of white supremacist bank robbers may have helped Timothy McVeigh.
Dan Defenbaugh, the now-retired FBI chief of the McVeigh
investigation, and Danny Coulson, the FBI scene commander for the
Oklahoma bomb site, says the evidence should be checked out if it
still exists.
Defenbaugh said he also was concerned investigators were never
told that the bank robbers had an Arkansas driver`s license in the
name of Robert Miller -- the alias name used by Arkansas gun dealer
Roger Moore.
The government contended at McVeigh`s trial that Moore was
robbed at his Hot Springs home in November 1994, and the proceeds
were used to fund the Oklahoma City bombing.
