those, financially. so at this point in time neil s girlfriend told you that she thought neil had bankrolled the oklahoma city bombing? yes. the doctor even called an fbi hotline to report neil, there s no indication the bureau found any link between neil and the bombing. but the fbi did eventually contact when they were investigating mick niece for something else. mckinney s found himself a defendant in a federal wiretapping case, accused of extorting money from a man who had been his friend. ultimately pleaded guilty to receiving the proceeds of extortion, and was sentenced to two years probation. why was any of this relevant in the murder trial of pam phillips, because, as doctor his frightening acquaintance had a history of bad blood, with none other than gary triano. it started, the doctors, that
