I hadn’t considedred that possibility. But, then, why wasnt’t he questioned as to that connection, and charged with complicity in the Murrah Bldg. bombing?
Possibly he was thus questioned, and his complicity made known (admitted) to his interrogators, but for strategic reasons not known to you or me, no Murrah Bldg charges were levelled against him, at least not publicly.
The beat goes on.

Left is OK bombing sketch of third suspect (John Doe #2). Right is Padilla.

There are lots of conspiracy theory questions and answers about it of course. My thought is simply that the investigators were looking in the wrong place for John Doe #2 and never came across Padilla in that investigation. Could also be a case of incompetence, but not conspiracy.

Now that we got him though does make me wonder if he was ever questioned on it recently. Probably not though since the OKC case has been "closed" for a while.
