This book describes the search by hundreds of Interpol detectives, for one particular Oklahoma bombing suspect, Chris Chapula. Chris was expected to contact Neo-Nazis in Frankfurt, Germany, April 24, 1995. Witness stories checked by Richard Serrano of the L. A. Times, Nov/Dec 1995. The book is distributed by Book Distributors Inc.
On April 21, 1995 The FBI was using almost one quarter of their staff to investigate the Oklahoma City bombing. They were offering a $1,000,000 reward for information which would lead to the arrest and conviction of John Doe #2. After the arrest of Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols, the FBI only wanted to focus on these two men, to the exclusion of John Doe #2. But read further about how the US Government continues to pursue CHRIS CHAPULA, who was John Doe #2 and the co-driver of the Oklahoma City truck bomb.
Are there unanswered questions about the The Oklahoma City Bomber named John Doe #2?
#1) If you want to understand the most up-to-date story about John Doe #2, first read the last edition of the Stephen Jones' book, Others Unknown, (ISBN 1-58648-098-7), published by Public Affairs Books, 2001. No longer bound by client/lawyer privilege secrecy, Mr. Jones is able to specify how Tim McVeigh provided his lawyer (Jones), information about the certainty of the existance of John Doe #2, as well as various times that McVeigh was with John Doe #2 and times when John Doe #2 contributed to the bombing plot, like the purchase of the hydrazine from a Texas supplier. In one case at Elliott's Ryder Rental McVeigh admitted to talking with another man in the lobby of Elliott's and even that the man was smoking. There were no other truck rentals or returns that day and since McVeigh said there was another man in the lobby while he was there, the testimony of three of Elliotts' staff about John Doe #2 is likely quite accurate.
It is clear from Jones' book that John Doe #2 provided the transportation for McVeigh to go to Elliott's after McVeigh left the McDonalds (where he was photographed on the restaurant's security cameras) on the day he rented the truck used for the bombing. This also explains why McVeigh was dry or may have changed clothes between the McDonalds and Elliott's. The guesses that Stephen Jones makes about the real identity of John Doe #2 may be off the mark but the details of his interactions with Tim McVeigh show conclusively that McVeigh did have another helper in the bombing plot with him in Junction City. This book is a "must read".

#2) Next, read the December 31, 1995 story by Richard Serrano in the Los Angeles Times. It is a summary of the 1995 investigations into the Oklahoma City bombing. Richard Serrano (one of the two writers of the LA Times story) has written an excellent book about Tim McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing called "One of Ours" (published by W. H. Norton, 1998). The book contains a detailed description of many of McVeigh�s motivations and activities as he prepared the bomb. It clearly describes Tim McVeigh's insistence on finding a co-driver for the truck-bomb. Mike Fortier declines McVeigh's invitation to participate on-site in the bomb project. Tim tells Fortier in no uncertain terms that he is on his way to Colorado to meet with anti-government comrades who Tim claims are more courageously willing to strike at the US government. The Serrano book contains interviews with a variety of credible witnesses who saw a Ryder truck outside the Dreamland Motel on Easter Sunday, April 16, 1995. Did this truck deliver the truck-bomb co-driver and detonator cord that the FBI failed to explain in their description of Tim McVeigh's activities and the bomb plot? Would it have been the "back-up" truck to be used in case the main truck/bomb broke down? This was a highly planned mission and a back-up truck makes sense.
#3) Read the recent online Salon newsmagazine article by David Neiwert about John Doe #2 (June 9, 2001). (Copy and paste this link into your web browser or just click on it)
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2001/06/09/john_doe/
The testimony of Joann Van Buren is most interesting as she describes the third person accompanying Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols when they drove their Ryder truck (the bomb truck) to the Subway restaurant where she worked on April 18, 1995. The FBI confiscated the restaurant surveillance tape showing McVeigh, Nichols and John Doe #2 and have never returned it. The description by Ms Van Buren fits the description of John Doe #2 (Chris Chapula) perfectly.
#4) Next, listen to the terror and fear in the voices of John Doe #2 witnesses from Herrington, Kansas in the story by Wade Goodwin, on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered", January 24 and/or 25, 1996 (depending on which NPR station it aired on) (the recorded cassette of the interviews conveys the reality of this story better than the written transcript).
#5) After these introductory stories, read the complete court transcripts of the defenses at the trials of Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols. Also read the stories in The Dallas Daily News about Tim McVeigh's supposed confession, and then read transcripts of Stephen Jones press conference, as Mr. Jones tries to explain why a faked confession had been produced. Read closely Stephen Jones words about Richard Reyna's negotiations in Europe to get help for Tim McVeigh's defense from a "hostile" witness (or bystander)(?) to the bombing. This "hostile" witness/bystander had alledgedly been with Tim McVeigh in the truck-bomb. This could only be the truck-bomb co-driver, John Doe #2.
#6) To be as complete as possible check the CNN news reports of Friday and Saturday, January 17 and 18, 1998 (CNN: Candiotti) describing a militia group in the state of Washington with advance notice of the bombing, (this story was formerly at the web address- http://wedge.nando.net/newsroom/ntn/nation/082497/nation8_29664_noframes.html) and then read the interesting story by JD Cash of The McCurtin (Oklahoma) Gazette which described contact between Andreas Strassmeir, Michael Breschia, and Tim McVeigh in Tulsa, Oklahoma .
#7) Recently a number of very good stories about Pat Livingston, at Pat's Gun and Pawn of Ogden, Kansas have been written by Jack Cashill. Jack likes to believe that there was a Middle Eastern connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing. Jack doesn't want to consider that the person who assisted Nichols and McVeigh in building the truck bomb was an American, trained in the use and building of det cord harnesses of the type used in battle reenactments (like the yearly Gettysburg reenactments, or even the huge scale Normandy Invasion battle reenactment viewed by Bill Clinton in 1994 for the 50th Anniversary). This American is mentioned as an associate of Kirk Lyons and a frequent visitor to the Philippines by the Philippine Security Services (in response to requests by American Anti-Terrorist Intelligence Services). Too bad Jack won't consider the kind of hatred of European-Americans, that is held by most native Americans (Indians) to the effect that Native Americans often view Euro-white-Americans, the way German Jews viewed the NAZIs of pre-WW2. Jack's stories deserve reading even if he overlooks Chris Chapula as a key participant in the Oklahoma City Bombing.

#8) German officials in the Kohl government were so concerned Andreas Strassmeir might be given the death sentence for his part in the Oklahoma City Bombing that they refused to let Andreas be interviewed by US Government investigators. Andreas only escaped being arrested by being notified by German GSG-9 Security personell through the German Embassy and German liaison persons in the FBI.
http://www.alertnet.com/ga/970526a.htm
#8A) There is an outstanding lawsuit against Andy Strassmeir, and in it his escape from arrest is described.
The help Andreas Strassmeir received from ex-CIA operative Holloway, helps one to understand why there has been such a huge FBI cover-up about John Doe #2. Very senior FBI Special Agents at the sub-Director level, who likely answered only to Larry Potts and Louis Freeh, have jeopardized their careers, and even their pensions, not counting possible jail time, by concealing evidence from Jones, Tigar and others defending McVeigh and Nichols. This evidence could have implicated Potts, Freeh and others co-opted by Andreas Strassmeir or it could have implicated other high ranking FBI associates/friends of Andreas Strassmeir/German GSG-9. But most surely it would have revealed the absolute existence of Chris Chapula as John Doe #2.
Since Chris Chapula was not in US law enforcement custody, the trials of McVeigh and Nichols would have become a huge mess for Federal prosecutors. The fact that German counter-intelligence GSG-9 and the FBI would be entangled as groups assisting Andreas Strassmeir, Kirk Lyons and Chris Chapula, in their efforts to murder American government workers, would have distracted from getting a death sentence against Tim McVeigh.
#9) This little story from The Guardian of England describes the deep involvement of Andreas Strassmeir in the Oklahoma City Bombing Conspiracy, right up until April 5, 1995. While Andy wasn't a trained bomb builder, he was an avid battle reenactment attendee, a friend of Kirk Lyons, and likely in contact with Chris Chapula. It makes for interesting reading.

#10) IS THE GOVERNMENT OF THE USA STILL SEARCHING FOR THE SUSPECT CHRIS CHAPULA AROUND THE WORLD DUE TO HIS CONTINUED BOMB-MAKING AND TERRORIST ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO DAMAGE AMERICA? ABSOLUTELY, (READ BELOW)
This story was printed in The Manila Times, the official agent in the Philippines that releases government information.
USA Lists 25 Int'l Terrorists Who Regularly Visit RP (Republic of the Philippines)
Date Posted: July 12 2002
Source: The Manila Times
United States intelligence officials have released the names of 25 international terrorist suspects believed to have slipped in and out of the Philippines in the last four years.
American sources, who refused to be identified, also said the US Border Patrol and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) are on the alert for these persons.
However, the use of high-quality forged travel documents and a well-funded network has made it difficult to track the movements of the suspected terror suspects�who are not all swarthy, hirsute, or of Middle Eastern descent.
In interviews with THE MANILA TIMES, American and Philippine law enforcement sources admitted that recent terror attacks, at least in this country, may not have been the handiwork of the usual suspects, meaning the mainstream Moro and communist rebel groups, or even the more traditional military rightwing groups.
In at least one case, the Dec. 30, 2000 bombings of the Light Rail Transit station and several other areas in Metro Manila police intelligence officers have found leads linking the crime to an unlikely alliance of Vietnamese exiles, right wing patrons and an obscure Muslim tribe based in Davao.
US officials, however, have tried to downplay the involvement of right wing Americans in terror attacks, believing this would undermine President George W. Bush's global campaign against terrorism.
List The US list of terrorists include: (NOTE: Name color-highlighting mine)
Christopher Hamel, American; Michael Colleto, American; Michael Abbott, American; Mark Anthony Finnigin, American; Clifford Mogg, American; Andreas Strassmeir, German. Sharon Toval, Israeli; Michael Hararior Harare, Israeli; Don Wassall, American; Ronney Lee Atkins, American; Mahylon Andrews, American; Ron Tyler, American; Kadar Kareem, undetermined; Zacarias Moussaoui, undetermined; Chris Chapula, American; Donovan St. Claire, American; Daniel Spiegelman, American; Craig Wesley Hasseltine, American; Juan Garcia Abrego, Maxican; John Bangerter, American; Hashem Alhussaini, Iraqi; Al Husseini Hssain, Iraqi; Mark Strum or Strumm, American and Mysterious German.
Little is known about the names on the list. American sources said the individuals on the list come from different organizations and additional information could jeopardize ongoing investigations.
But at least one man, the German Andreas Strassmeir, has been linked to the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
Convicted mastermind Timothy McVeigh, then 26 when the crime occurred, has been executed for the explosion that killed 169 persons, including 19 infants. His comrade, Terry Nichols, sentenced to life imprisonment, was formerly married to a Filipino.
Strassmeir was one of the men identified by Carol Howe, an undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) operative, as among McVeigh's contacts.
Strassmeir, described as a German illegal alien, was then living at Elohim City, the base for the Christian Identity group on the outskirts of Oklahoma.
Howe, who was then living with the group, claimed McVeigh called Strassmeir, the son of a prominent German government official, two weeks before the bombing. McVeigh was also known to visit Elohim City.
Months after the bombing, however, Strassmeir disappeared, and US prosecutors went on to declare McVeigh as a loner, who only had help from Nichols. Strassmeir and other Elihim City residents were later identified as US government assets.
RP links
The Strassmeir connection is interesting because of testimonies from old RP hands indicating Nichols and McVeigh had curious meetings in Manila and Davao with Middle Eastern nationals.
This, at around the time of the first World Trade Center bombing.
That Terry Nichols would be in the Philippines is not strange. He has an ex-wife and a wife here. That he was here with Timothy Mc Veigh and that the two of them had met with mid-Easterners and Filipino Muslims in Ermita-Malate, and in Davao City, is altogether another matter.
Tessie (surname withheld on request) frequents Woods, a restaurant on Mabini Street in Ermita. She remembered Mc Veigh when she saw his picture on a CNN newscast on the day of his execution.
She recalls being shocked. He (McVeigh) and a man named Terry used to be here all the time. Terry had a Filipina wife or girlfriend. Sometimes they would meet with Arabs and some Muslims from Mindanao. They would always sit outside. And they talked very softly in their meetings. When it was only Terry and that McVeigh they would drink beer. They were friendly.
But one time I heard this Mc Veigh say in a loud voice to an Arab and a Filipino, "That will cost lots of money." I did not know what they were talking about, but McVeigh was serious, I think, Tessie said.
Gathering holes
Intelligence sources said both McVeigh and Nichols stayed in Iseya, a small hotel in Ermita frequented by foreign backpackers.
Woods, on other hand, is a regular gathering hole for travelers on strange byways, Philippine Immigration officials told THE TIMES.
Both establishments have received close attention from intelligence services.
Iseya Hotel's management does not remember McVeigh or Nichols. Dorothy Bacara, Iseya's hotel supervisor since its establishment, does not hide the owner's racism. In its 16 years of existence, the establishment has never served black Americans and Middle Eastern men.
Our boss, the owner of Iseya who is an Australian, instructed us not to accept blacks and Arab-looking men because according to him, blacks are kind of unruly and undisciplined customers, while Middle Eastern men are unhygienic, she told The Times.
Our boss doesn't even allow our customers to bring prostitutes here, Bacara said. He said it could affect the hotel's image.
She added the most of their clientele are Australians, white Americans and British who only spend one or two nights at the hotel.
Immigration agents confirm Bacara's statements, and say it is the reason the small hotel is popular among westerners seeking a low-profile.
Meanwhile, crew of Woods Cafe and Restaurant admitted that their customers include a motley assortment of foreigners black Americans and Arab-looking men included.
However, according to the crew who requested anonymity, they don't suspect these foreigners who just go there to have fun and enjoy the food.
We are in Ermita so it is not surprising to have a lot of foreigners coming to our restaurant, he said. But I don't believe they are members of some anti-government or paramilitary group. I think most of them are just tourists.
END MANILA TIMES STORY
Lawyers Stephen Jones and Michael Tigar have put dozens of witness on the stand during the trials of Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols, who describe a third bombing conspirator as a husky, Hispanic-looking young male. The two lawyers were trying to defend Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols against the death penalty, by showing that some blame should rest with John Doe #2.
Has the FBI made a complete search for another bombing conspirator who helped Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols to build and deliver the Oklahoma City bomb?
Answer: Not where it concerns the suspect (AKA John Doe #2), who witnesses say, accompanied Tim McVeigh in the truck-bomb which killed 168 people April 19, 1995. Many sworn trial witnesses have seen at least one additional person besides Terry Nichols in the company of Tim McVeigh during the time the bomb was built and driven to the Murrah Building.
The mission of Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols seems to have been to bomb the Murrah Federal Building on a specific date. The truck-bomb had to be produced on a schedule. What would they have done if the primary truck broke down?
What help could Andreas Strassmeir and Kirk Lyons (Strassmeir�s lawyer) provide for Tim McVeigh�s fanatical bomb plot?
Answer: Tim McVeigh or Terry Nichols or John Doe #2, called Strassmeir and Lyons using a telephone calling card Nichols and McVeigh purchased together. McVeigh was seen with Andreas Strassmeir and Michael Breschia in Tulsa, during the last half of 1994 when the money and materials needed for the bombing mission were being arranged. Andreas Strassmeir and Kirk Lyons are battle reenactment fanatics. They participate in or promote reenactments. They have explosives training required for reenactors. Battle reenactments reproduce the realism of battlefield explosions, casualties and combat. They both knew explosives experts who could be recommended to Tim McVeigh for a "mission" like the Oklahoma City bombing. Chris Chapula was the expert bomb maker, John Doe #2
When Stephen Jones was negotiating in Europe with Tim McVeigh's "bystander/witness/accomplice", why would Jones' defense team produce a faked confession putting all the responsibility for the bombing on Tim McVeigh?
Answer: By involving the truck-bomb's co-driver (John Doe #2) in any way which could establish his certain existence in court, Stephen Jones hoped to shift some of the responsibility away from Tim McVeigh. Michael Tigar has tried to establish in court that John Doe #2 was responsible for more of the bombing than Terry Nichols. Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols know who went with them to breakfast at the Santa Fe Diner, early in the morning, April 18, 1995 before the truck-bomb was loaded at Geary Lake, Ks. If either McVeigh or Nichols revealed who their co-conspirators were, they would have implicated themselves, and their guilt in the bombing plot would be more obvious than it is already. The US Justice Department prefers not to distract attention away from Terry Nichols and Tim McVeigh as bombing conspirators, and so they are unwilling to state that another bomber called John Doe #2 even exists. As well Tim McVeigh was likely certain his sister Jennifer would be murdered if he revealed the real John Doe #2, and the same goes for Terry Nichols' wife Marife and child.
The proprietorial motives of the US Justice Department were that there be no public investigation for known John Doe #2 suspects. This doesn't mean that John Doe #2 isn't real. There could easily be two or three other conspirators who had a large responsibilities in the deaths of 168 people in Oklahoma City, April 19, 1995.
"WAITING FOR JOHN DOE (NUMBER TWO)" describes an American suspect in the Oklahoma City Bombing (Chris Chapula), who arrived AS EXPECTED and was chased across Europe by dozens of Interpol detectives in late April, 1995. A tip from Neo-Nazi informants in Germany put detectives from five countries on the lookout for the co-driver of the Oklahoma City truck/bomb. It surprised European police when the suspect John Doe #2 did not go directly to Frankfurt, Germany, where he was expected, but instead stopped in Reims, France ,to visit an American WW2 Military cemetery.
The suspect described here was an American, with a Midwest American accent, 21-26 years of age (in 1995), approximately 5 feet nine or ten inches tall weighing between 175 and 190 pounds. The suspect was very muscular, with bushy eyebrows and hair which was naturally very dark or black (like Hispanic or Native American hair). He traveled with a US Passport and used a Hispanic-American name (Chris Chapula). The suspect had very prominent, full lips and he walked with an athletic gait and longish strides for a person only 5 feet nine or ten inches tall. He wore an oversize olive drab US military style fatigue jacket a 1994 Normandy Invasion Commemorative T-Shirt and he carried two olive drab duffel bags when he arrived in Europe April 20, 1995. Each duffel bag was marked with a large triangle and a capital "D", a common US Army Armored Cavalry marking signifying "Delta D".
European police were expecting this suspect to arrive in Frankfurt within days of the Oklahoma City bombing. He did not disappoint them. The author of "Waiting For John Doe (Number Two)" interviewed some of the Interpol investigators involved in the European manhunt for this bombing suspect.
On April 25, 1995 the suspect was known to be a passenger on an express train that was supposed to go from Frankfurt, Germany to Mannheim, Karlsruhe and Baden-Baden and then non-stop to Paris, France. Interpol diverted this train (between midnight and 2am, April 25, 1995) to an empty railway station in Strasbourg, France (this station was normally closed in the early hours each day and thus bypassed, so track repairs could be made). This non-stop express train was diverted, surrounded and stopped while Interpol agents boarded it and removed the suspect described here (Chris Chapula) in full view of hundreds of passengers including a number of Americans who witnessed this event.
"WAITING FOR JOHN DOE (NUMBER TWO) describes the Interpol manhunt for one particular Oklahoma City Bombing suspect in France and Germany. It recounts the story of Interpol investigators, and at least four European and two American witnesses (including the author). The manhunt for the Oklahoma bombing suspect was overseen in France by counter-terrorist detectives from the French Minister of the Interior's Judicial Police, 6th Division. These are the super-cops of France. Skilled in all combat arts they are experts in the use of special weapons, they speak multiple languages and they have proven their police skills on the streets for years before they train for this elite force. In France the 6th Div. has the power of the American FBI, ATF, Secret Service and DEA rolled into one. They can use or direct any French government department, including every policeman, every laboratory, all the media and even the military during their investigations.
The French 6th Division has one primary directive. They fight terrorism. Whether it's international terrorists like the Red Brigade, religious terrorism by extremists, or narco-terrorism, the 6th Division has the authority to investigate anyone in France anywhere, and at any time. In France, in late April, 1995, the French 6th Division had the task of finding one particular John Doe #2 suspect, Chris Chapula.

Tim McVeigh went to his execution protecting his sister, Jennifer McVeigh from his co-bomber and the man who had not only designed the truck bomb but who was skilled at handling explosives for battle reenactments (like those staged at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania's Civil Wat battle reenactments, or the 1994 D-Day Normandy Invasion battle reenactment). But Chris Chapula is more than a bomb technician or Terry Nichols and Tim McVeigh would not have been so concerned about Chris and his ability to murder. Chris truly hates American white and black persons, and all branches of the current American government.
Chris is part Native American and blames white and black Americans for stealing North America from the real Native Americans. Chris blames today's white and black Americans and especially American government workers for murdering millions of the true Native Americans who were here when Columbus, Cartier, Cabot and other Europeans arrived.
It is only when readers understand the murderous rage and love of bomb building, of Chris Chapula, can they then understand why Terry Nichols and Tim McVeigh only let bits of information about Chris slip out by accident. Tim and Terry were put in contact with Chris by Kirk Lyons and Andreas Strassmeir, to help Tim and Terry build the bomb Tim, Terry Nichols and his brother James hoped would cause an American militia uprising. Chris just wanted to kill as many American government workers as possible, and hopefully weaken the American government itself. Once Terry and Tim realized Chris was just a cold, calculating mass murderer, who would kill anyone who opposed him, they also realized that all their family members (including Terry's son Josh) could easily be killed by Chris, if his involvement was ever revealed.
Actually the Oklahoma City bombing was due to much more than a small group of disgruntled militia types. It was due to a few odd circumstances that came together all at once.
#1 - Guenter Strassmeir (Andreas' father) was able to funnel millions of dollars of funding to the German battle reenactment groups who loved "being NAZIs" under the disguise of using German government funding of WW2 Battle Reenactments, to develop tourism. This kept NAZI philosophy and hatred alive while training and providing experience for bomb builders (when you see a full scale battle reenactment, you'll realize how expert the reenactment bomb makers are so the explosive power can throw reenactors and tons of dirt into the air, without causing serious injuries). Guenter's Hitler Youth training and hatred for America helped keep a core of "pretend NAZIs") fully trained and armed (with the help of many explosives experts and NAZI sympathizers, in the German military, and many German armed forces generals who were actually NAZIs in the Hitler regime).
#2 - Kirk Lyons, whose grandfather was one of the founders of the German NAZI party, is a lawyer in North Carolina, a battle reenactment fan, a defender of right wing hate groups in the USA (like the KKK), and a friend of Andreas Strassmeir (Guenter Strassmeir's son). When Andreas asked Kirk Lyons to help find an experienced bomb builder willing to help Tim McVeigh, in Tim's quest to blow up a US government building, Kirk knew just the murderous bomb builder to put in touch with Tim and Terry. Even Kirk Lyons is afraid of Chris Chapula, and rightly so.
#3 - Chris Chapula, growing up as a part Hispanic, part Native American, was exposed to all forms of racism and the attitudes of entitlement that white and black Americans often exhibit. As his hatred for Americans and the American government grew he became fascinated with explosives. He worked in Gettysburg. Chris also went to Europe in 1994 for the Normandy Invasion reenactment, and learned from German explosives experts as much as he possibly could. At this time he made personal contacts in the Neo-NAZI underground (with the help of Andreas Strassmeir and Kirk Lyons). While Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols may not have known how devastating the Murrah bombing would be, Chris Chapula committed premeditated mass murder, because Chris knew quite well how forceful the truck bomb blast would be. Chris has since visited the Philippines, met with known Islamic terrorists, and yet he has escaped capture because of his German friends and some of his Native American associates. These Native Americans also hate white and black Americans.
#4 Chris Chapula stays on the loose, because of the way the FBI treated John Doe #2 as soon as the FBI caught Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols. And this helps the FBI to cover up their neglect of John Doe #2, to make Tim McVeigh's trial simpler for the prosecutors. Having the bomb designer loose outside the USA would have made Tim McVeigh's trial a nightmare for the FBI and Federal prosecutors. The FBI didn't want a bomb designer that escaped the USA to make Tim McVeigh's trial more difficult than it would be already. Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols weren't going to purposely expose Chris Chapula because he was a stone cold killer, and both men had family members at risk. Tim McVeigh did make enough mistakes for Stephen Jones to know thare really was a John Doe #2, but Tim wasn't going to get his family killed by telling all he knew. So the FBI had a pretty easy time covering up all the problems they had, so there wouldn't be a scandal like Ruby Ridge and Waco coming down on then.
Andreas Strassmeir had access to the highest levels of US law enforcement when he arrived in 1987. He duped the FBI into believing he was going to help them with information he would gather as their "spy" in the militias and the extreme ultra-conservative, Christian Identity movement. The FBI was very short of intel on these types of groups and Andreas had diplomatic entree to some law enforcement and a connection to other US law enforcement groups because he had been a member of the German GSG-9 counter-terrorism group. He tricked the FBI. AND the FBI couldn't afford to look so stupid. Congressman Burton's committee investigating the Oklahoma City Bombing knows there was a cover-up inside the FBI. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and HIS committee investigating the Oklahoma City Bombing FBI cover-up also know there was a cover up. Various FBI agents and former agents have testified to it.
But the FBI can't totally ignore Chris Chapula as John Doe #2, so the FBI pretends to be interested, while helping Chris Chapula stay on the loose. If anyone tries to dig into this scenario or if Congress tries to investigate, they say they will look at this situation again making the whole cloud surrounding John Doe #2 an "ongoing investigation". The FBI even goes so far as to have Chris Chapula put on the State Department's list of "persons of interest" for US Law Enforcement Agencies. This list is circulated to all the allies of US government in its war on terror, drug and gun running, money laundering etc. Chris Chapula's name in on this list. This list goes to Germany each year and so Andreas Strassmeir gets a copy of the list (previously because his father was the second highest ranking elected official in Germany). That means that the guys who we should be arresting and excecuting for mass murder, get a copy of the list of people the USA is still trying to keep tabs on. This only helps these murderers. Helping the 2 murderers, Andreas Strassmeir and Chris Chapula, helps the FBI keep their neglect in the Oklahoma City bombing covered up.
Without all of these important components just looking for disgruntled militia-types like Tim McVeigh or Terry and James Nichols, the 2 men convicted of the bombing may have built and set off a truck bomb in Oklahoma City, but they wouldn't have known how to cause the devastation that occurred that day in April 1995.
