In the videotape, the truck appeared to be driving in tandem with McVeigh's car, pulled over with McVeigh, waited briefly and then drove off. The truck reportedly carried a bag ofammonium nitrate fertilizerin its bed; police today discovered traces of that substance in a brown truck registered in Colbern's name.
