As In The Whitewater Affair, Oklahoma
|
|
City Bombing Witnesses Are Dying Fast.
|

--------------------------------------
|
|
By Mike Blair (Spotlight, 5/19/97)
|
|
|
|
Two key witnesses in the Oklahoma City bombing case will not
|
|
appear to testify at the Denver trial of Timothy McVeigh, one of
|
|
the two accused of being responsible for the bombing, because
|
|
they are dead.
|
|
|
|
One death has been labeled a suicide. The other victim was
|
|
killed in an air crash. Both deaths took place under
|
|
questionable circumstances.
|
|
|
|
The supposed suicide is Oklahoma City Police Officer Terrance
|
|
Yeakey. Dr. Howard D. Chumley was killed when his airplane
|
|
crashed on a flight from Amarillo, Texas to Guthrie, Oklahoma.
|
|
|
|
Yeakey is one of those cited for extraordinary bravery right
|
|
after the bombing of the Alfred E. Murrah Federal Office Building
|
|
in Oklahoma City in his case for rescuing four people from the
|
|
devastated structure before he fell through a floor and injured
|
|
his back.
|
|
|
|
Official reports claim Yeakey slashed his wrists, one twice and
|
|
the other three times, placed two slits in a vein at the bend of
|
|
the elbow of one arm and four at the bend of the elbow of the
|
|
other, and then stabbed himself with the knife in both sides of
|
|
the throat, near the jugular vein. Then he walked one-and-a-half
|
|
miles where he shot himself in the side of the head. The bullet
|
|
entered the upper temple on the right side and exited below the
|
|
upper jaw bone on the left side, meaning the gun would have been
|
|
pointed in a downward angle -- a most unlikely way for a person
|
|
bent on suicide to hold a gun.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
"The burning question here is why he didn't just shoot himself in
|
|
the first place, if suicide was his aim," one investigator
|
|
remarked.
|
|
|
|
Police in Oklahoma claim that Yeakey had become depressed because
|
|
of guilt that he was unable to save more people. He was
|
|
scheduled to receive the Oklahoma City Police Department's Medal
|
|
of Valor.
|
|
|
|
Yeakey, police claim, left no suicide note. However, The
|
|
Spotlight has obtained a copy of a letter he sent to a victim of
|
|
the bombing who was questioning the federal government's claims
|
|
about the cause of the tragedy and those accused as the
|
|
perpetrators.
|
|
|
|
Highlights from his letter follow:
|
|
|
|
The man that you and I were talking about in the pictures I
|
|
have made the mistake of asking too many questions as to
|
|
his role in the bombing and was told to back off...
|
|
|
|
I was told by several officers he was a ATF agent who was
|
|
overseeing the bombing plot and at the time the photos were
|
|
taken he was calling in his report of what had just went
|
|
down!
|
|
|
|
Knowing what I know now and understanding fully just what
|
|
went down that morning makes me ashamed to wear a badge
|
|
from Oklahoma City's Police Department. I took an oath to
|
|
uphold the law and to enforce the law to the best of my
|
|
ability. This is something I cannot honestly do and hold
|
|
my head up proud any longer if I keep my silence as I am
|
|
ordered to do...
|
|
|
|
The sad truth of the matter is that they have so many
|
|
police officers convinced that by covering up the truth
|
|
about the operation gone wrong, that they are actually
|
|
doing our citizens a favor. What I want to know is how
|
|
many other operations have they had that blew up in their
|
|
faces? Makes you stop and take another look at Waco...
|
|
|
|
Even if I tried to explain it to you the way it was
|
|
explained to me and the ridiculous reason for having our
|
|
own police department falsify reports to their fellow
|
|
officers, to the citizens of the city and to our country,
|
|
you would feel the way I do about all of this...
|
|
|
|
According to his death certificate, Yeakey's body was found in a
|
|
field about two-and-a-half miles west of the El Reno (Oklahoma)
|
|
Reformatory.
|
|
|
|
"About two weeks before his death, he'd come into my home at
|
|
strange times -- 2:30 in the morning, 4 in the morning,
|
|
unannounced, trying to give me life insurance policies," Yeakey's
|
|
ex-wife stated. "He kept telling me we needed to get remarried
|
|
immediately, or me and the girls would not be taken care of... I
|
|
mean, why would a guy tell you to take a life insurance policy,
|
|
knowing damn well it wouldn't pay for a suicide? He obviously
|
|
knew he was in danger..."
|
|
|
|
Two key pages are missing from the letter, which was apparently
|
|
written on a computer. Independent investigators have verified
|
|
the letter to be authentic, according to retired FBI Senior
|
|
Special Agent Ted L. Gunderson.
|
|
|
|
According to reports, described to The Spotlight by Gunderson,
|
|
Chumley was approached shortly after the bombing and asked to
|
|
falsify reports concerning injuries that BATF agents suffered
|
|
when the building was bombed.
|
|
|
|
The physician flatly refused to make any reports of injuries that
|
|
didn't occur. When he learned that another doctor in the
|
|
Oklahoma City area had agreed to make the false reports, he
|
|
objected and threatened to turn the physician in to medical
|
|
authorities.
|
|
|
|
Chumley was killed on September 24, 1995 while the plane he was
|
|
piloting from Amarillo to Guthrie was in a climb and suddenly
|
|
plunged into a field. He was killed instantly.
