...what of John Doe No. 2? There was speculation that Nichols' son Joshua, 12, who was staying with his father in the days before the bombing, was a prime candidate. However, the boy, although large for his age and husky, has light hair and no tattoo. John Doe's elusiveness has led some investigators to question his existence -- or at the very least the likeness currently being circulated. But authorities say the sketches are based on descriptions from witnesses at the Ryder-truck outlet in Junction City, Kansas, as well as from a woman at an undisclosed location...
...piece of blown-away truck axle. In what seemed just moments later, Timothy McVeigh was in police custody. The first hours and days after the Oklahoma City bombing convinced many that justice would be swiftly done. Then real-life rhythms took over. Nearly three weeks after the blast, John Doe No. 2 is still at large, and the immensity of the task facing the feds has sunk in. "It's now down to basic investigation and luck," one official admitted. Said another federal lawman: "I think we may be a year putting this thing together...
...while, it seemed as if there were as many potential John Doe No. 2s as clowns tumbling out of a circus car.

Are the Nichols brothers more deeply involved than they are now charged? Was John Doe No. 2 the ringleader? "Somebody did motivate them," an agent maintains. Furthermore, "he could easily motivate two or three more militia types to do this again somewhere else. You do this two or three times, we'd be chasing our butts. This guy is a national tragedy walking around...
While Oklahoma City bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh continued to cool his heels in a federal prison, refusing to talk to authorities, law-enforcement officials were growing frustrated in their nationwide manhunt for the elusive second suspect, John Doe No. 2. Federal agents raided a small Missouri motel to capture and question a pair of drifters whose travels before and after the bombing paralleled McVeigh's. But the two men were quickly released for lack of evidence, the parallel taste in small towns and cheap motels an apparent coincidence. In Oklahoma City rescuers ended their search for bodies and survivors...
