Been in there that generally fit the description of john doe number two, but it turned out it had been on a different day. he d been in there with a friend that had rented a ryder truck. so we now realize it was a misidentification of people transposing two different events and putting two different occurrences together. mcveigh swore to us over and over again that there was no john doe number two. no one was with him on the day of the bombing. the biggest misconception out there about the oklahoma city bombing, in my view, is this is something that sprang from the brain of timothy mcveigh, was masterminded by timothy mcveigh and substantially carried out by timothy mcveigh with a little bit of help from terry nichols. if there were other people involved with the bombing, who were they? some believe there may have been a connection between mcveigh and elohim city, a so-called christian identity community in northeastern oklahoma, about 170 miles from oklahoma city near the arkans ....
