In Search of John Doe No. 2: The Story the Feds Never Told About the
Oklahoma City Bombing
A Salt Lake City lawyer searching for the truth behind his brother's
death has uncovered a wealth of new information that could implicate
the FBI in the Oklahoma City bombings.
The documents he dug up suggest the FBI knew about the plot to bomb
the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in advance but did little to
prevent it.
Jesse Trentadue's brother Kenney Trentadue was found dead in his
prison cell in Oklahoma City in August 1995. The FBI calls it a
suicide, but Jesse maintains Kenney was beaten to death during an
interrogation. Jesse believes the FBI mistook his brother for the
missing second suspect in the Oklahoma City bombings - the so-called
"John Doe #2."
His research also suggests that the bombing was not the work of one
or two men, but involved a wider network connected to the far-right
white supremacist movement.
Jesse Trentadue joins us to talk about his struggle with the FBI in
the twelve years since his brother's death. We're also joined by
reporter James Ridgeway, author of a new Mother Jones article on this
story.

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles per year.
Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a
year.
That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
