terrimus: Did you ever get the feeling that McVeigh and Nichols were not the only two involved in the bombing? I feel like they had help and the others were never caught.Lou Michel: There was a third person, Michael Fortier, but as for a wider- spread conspiracy, it isn't there.
Federal agents conducted an $82 million investigation, the largest in American history.
Then the county grand jury conducted its own independent inquiry because it was not satisfied with the federal government.
That second investigation also found no evidence of a bigger conspiracy. There is no evidence of a larger conspiracy.
It is entirely possible that someone of McVeigh's intelligence with his hate-driven motivation could succeed and, in fact, it did happen that way.
