On April 17, "Kling" returned and spoke with Elliott, Tom Kessinger, a mechanic, and another employee, Vicki Beemer. Kessinger told the FBI "Kling" was accompanied by a heavyset, dark-haired, brown-eyed young man wearing a baseball cap with a blue-and-white zigzag pattern. Kessinger said...
Elliott and Kessinger first spoke to the FBI on April 19, when McVeigh was still completely unknown. A composite sketch based on their description of "Kling" was shown to motel owners around Junction City. On April 20, Lea McGown, proprietor of the Dreamland Motel, recognized the man as a guest named Timothy McVeigh.

Scientists consider receptors--which are specially tailored protein molecules--and the substances that bind to them to be the critical junction in the ongoing chemical processes that underlie thinking, feeling, dreaming and remembering. For an electrical signal to travel from neuron to neuron in the brain, it must cross a minuscule gap, the synapse, between them. A number of different chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters ferry the signal across the synapse and then lock on to receptors that lie on the membrane of the next nerve cell in line...
