A few months later, on April 14, McVeigh registered at the Dreamland Motel in Junction City, Kansas. On the same day, he bought a 1977 Mercury and reserved a Ryder truck. He stayed at the motel for four nights and was seen coming and going in a truck. During that period, he and Nichols constructed the bomb. In the meantime, McVeigh parked the Mercury near the Murrah building, and Nichols took him back to the Dreamland. On the morning...
...screams of the victims and the sound of rubble falling. ?We could see things coming down on us,? Klaver said. ?We were all disoriented.?

There, Barbara Whittenberg remembers a Ryder truck pulling up in front of her Santa Fe Trail Diner a day or so before the bombing. "There was three gentlemen that came in and sat down and ordered coffee," she says. One, she says, was Nichols, another, McVeigh. "The one question...
