Murrah Federal Building came off, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper named Charles Hanger pulled over a yellow Mercury on Interstate 35 because there was no license plate on the back bumper. He wasn't looking for a bomber. He was running hard toward a wreck scene he'd worked in the dark the Sunday before, and he'd already been ordered to Oklahoma City and then told to turn around. Ten minutes later he had Timothy McVeigh handcuffed in the front seat of his patrol car on a tag violation and a concealed weapon charge, and neither man on that shoulder had any reason to connect it to what had happened 80 miles south. Almost everybody knows the outline of this case, and almost all of it is true, which is what makes it unusual. The wrong man didn't go to prison. The evidence against Timothy McVeigh is about as complete as any case Brian has ever read — a partial VIN stamped on a truck axle found 575 feet from the crater, a fingerprint on a fertilizer receipt, six months of calls consolidated onto one prepaid card under a false name, a motel register signed in his own handwriting. But the summary most people carry around makes a movement look like a man, and it leaves out most of what's actually in the file. The two years between Ruby Ridge in August 1992 and Waco in April 1993 that built an American militia movement almost from nothing. A journalism student from Southern Methodist who interviewed McVeigh outside the Branch Davidian siege in March 1993, got his real name, and kept the clipping until it became evidence. 4,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate bought for cash under an alias in McPherson, Kansas, on September 30 and October 18, 1994. A racing fuel salesman who heard a stranger at a Kansas drag strip ask for the two chemicals…","meta_description":"78 minutes after the front of the Alfred P.
