FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MARCH 31, 2010 Death Row Inmate Unlocks Oklahoma City Bombing Secrets, Blows Open Cold Case With Exclusive Timothy McVeigh Interviews
As the Oklahoma City Bombing approaches its 15th anniversary on April 19, history records the case as solved and closed. Timothy McVeigh, lone-wolf mastermind, was executed in 2001. Terry Nichols, his only known accomplice, is behind bars for life. But now this: McVeigh reportedly made a shocking death row confession – that he was an undercover federal agent in a sting operation targeting right-wing extremists. Incredible? It might seem so at first. But just as incredible is the identity of the man who turned up the evidence that blows this case wide open: It’s David Paul Hammer – another death row inmate.
Federal Death Row: Terre Haute, Indiana – Hammer is a criminal legend, in prison since age 19 except for two escapes; sentenced to death for killing a cellmate in 1996. The death penalty was the twist of fate that gave Hammer exclusive access to McVeigh and his story on Federal Death Row.
Deadly Secrets: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing details McVeigh’s account of the crime as told exclusively to Hammer. McVeigh said he had multiple accomplices, who were never brought to justice. He named names. Hammer started digging.
Aided by a trusted circle of friends on the outside, he discovered hidden and discarded clues, from secret FBI investigative teletypes to explosives that may be linked to the bombing and even secret crime-scene surveillance tapes. It all points to a conspiracy larger than McVeigh and Nichols, and consistent with the one McVeigh outlined for Hammer.
How could so much evidence fall through the cracks? Hammer charges that federal government insiders knew the bombing was coming through McVeigh and other informants, but did not stop it. Afterwards, the government players had to hide their guilty knowledge, and the cover-up continues to this day.
“We have opened up the deepest, darkest cold case of all time,” Hammer says.
Prize-winning investigative reporter Margaret Roberts wrote the book’s foreword. She calls McVeigh’s account “compelling,” and says Hammer’s story “deserves careful consideration.” Hammer’s challenge to readers: Don’t buy the government spin that this case is closed. Follow the clues. Find out the truth.
