The follwing is posted on tripod.com. I can not confirm that the letter is legitimate, I can only report that this is posted on the internet. The reason ,in my opinion, that it has sufficient credibility to be posted here is that independently I have determined that ATF Agent Luke Franey was likely not in the building at the time of the explosion. Luke Franey is the only ATF Agent that has a legitimate claim to being in building. I believe he entered the building after the explosion because the fact that there was not a single ATF Agent in the building at the time of the explosion would be too damning in court.

TERRRANCE YEAKEY - POLICE OFFICER

The following are excerpts from an Oklahoma City policeman's letter to a bombing victim whom he had befriended. Officer Terrance Yeakey was one of the first rescuers at the scene of the bombing. As the letter indicates, he saw many disturbing things and much evidence that is contradictory to the OFFICIAL VERSION of the story.

The letter begins,"The man that you and I were talking about in the pictures, I have made the mistake of asking too many questions as to his role in the bombing, and was told to back off. I was told by several officers he was an ATF agent who was overseeing the bombing plot and at the time the photos were taken he was calling in his report of what had just went down! Luke Franey (ATF agent who said he was in the building at the time of the explosion) was not in the building at the time of the blast. I know this for a fact. I saw him! I also saw full riot gear worn, with rifles in hand, why? "Knowing what I know now, and understanding fully just what went down that morning, makes me ashamed to wear a badge from Oklahoma City's Police Department. I took an oath to uphold the Law and to enforce the Law to the best of my ability. This is something I cannot honestly do if I keep my silence as I am ordered to do.

"My guess is, the more time an officer has to think about the screw up, the more he is going to question what happened. Can you imagine what would be coming down now if that had been our officers who had let this happen? Because it was the feds that did this and not the locals, is the reason it's okay. If I tried to explain it to you the way it was explained to me, and the ridiculous reason for having our own police departments falsify their reports to their fellow officers, to the citizens of the city and to our country, you would understand why I feel the way I do about all this. "I truly believe there are other officers like me out there who would not settle for anything but the truth; it is just a matter of finding them. The only true problem as I see it is, who do we turn to then? I believe that a lot of the problems the officers are having right now are because some of them know what happened and can't deal with it, and others like myself made the mistake of trusting the one person we were supposed to be able to turn to (the chaplain) only to be stabbed in the back. "I would consider it to be an insult to my profession as a police officer and to the citizens of Oklahoma for ANY of the City, State or Federal agents that stood by and let this happen, to be recognized as anything other than their part in participation in letting this happen.

For those who ran from the scene to change their attire to hide the fact that they were there, should be judged as cowards. "You were right all along and I am truly sorry I doubted you and your motives about recording history. Everyone was behind you until you started asking questions as I did, as to how so many federal agents arrived at the scene at the same time. I worry about you and your young family because of some of the statements that have been made towards me, a police officer! I am not worried for myself, but for you and your group. I would not be afraid to say at this time that you and your family could be harmed if you get any closer to the truth. At this time I think for your well-being it is best for you to distance yourself and others from those of us who have stirred up too many questions about the altering and falsifying of the federal investigation's reports.

"It is vital that people like you, Edye Smith and others keep asking questions and demanding answers for the actions of our federal government and law enforcement agencies that knew beforehand and participated in the cover-up. Don't make the mistake as I did and ask the wrong people. "If our history books and records are ever truly corrected about that day, it will show this and maybe even some lame excuse as to why it happened, but I truly don't believe it will from what I now know to be the truth. I am sad to say that I believe my days as a police officer are numbered because of all of this

Luke Franey - Direct
happened at the building and he needed to get down there.

Q. After you made the call on the radio, did you continue to walk around the office, what was left of the ATF office?

A. Yes, I did.

Q. What did you do next?

A. I found an evidence poster board, something similar to that, that we had used at a previous trial. And I flipped it over on the back and wrote "ATF trapped, 9th floor," put it in the window, over here in this office looking out over the front side of the building, which is the south side of the building.

My name is Megan Gaines, Luke Franey is my mother’s brother, which makes him obviously my uncle. I know this sounds typical, but I dont believe that my uncle would or could be capable of covering up a diaster such as this. I am a conspirist myself, and while the argument you present is one to question, take it from someone who knew him before and after the bombing and I can assure you, I dont believe he would have been able to live with himself if this were true...
