Thanks, honway, you do great work. I am familiar with this story, but will have to find some time to listen to the interview.

Off topic: do you believe Trentadue's death (murder) in prison was related in any way to the OKC bombing?

do you believe Trentadue's death (murder) in prison was related in any way to the OKC bombing?

I do believe there is very substantial evidence that indicates Trentadue was murdered. However, I don't know enough about the case to establish a connection between McVeigh and Trentadue and I know of no other way Trentadue could be connected to OKC. Comparing a timeline of McVeigh's places of incarceration with Trentadue's might reveal something, but I have not done that.

Kenneth Michael Trentadue was an inmate with a history of bank robbery in federal custody who had been transferred to Oklahoma City for a parole hearing. He is alleged to have beaten himself and then hung himself to death. What is remarkable is that he was alleged to have performed this is the space of twenty minutes. According to the Bureau Of Prisons report he had to attempt the hanging twice. Trentadue's family pursued the case and the result was a civil rights investigation that included an investigation by the DOJ Office of Inspector General.

In an eerie parallel of the Trentadue case, Richard Wayne Guthrie a member of the Aryan Republican Army a terrorist group linked to McVeigh was allegedly found hanging in his cell in Newport, Ky. Guthrie was being held on charges of bank robbery in connection with his actions while associated with the ARA. The ARA, also known as the Midwestern bank robbers were a band of white supremacist's who raised funds for the movement by robbing banks. Guthrie was found beaten and hanging in his cell after he had made it known he intended to tell all that he knew about his former associates. Like Trentadue there are nagging problems with the official story on Guthrie, in particular the grate he was alleged to have been hanging from was 13 feet off the floor with no means in the cell for Guthries to reach it.

I always thought Trentadue was in for a drug charge. The bank robbery angle may be worth exploring. If my memory serves correctly, Guthrie announced before the court at one of his hearings that he had information concerning the OKC bombing.
