His truck used to have ED KIENHOLZ--EXPERT painted on the door. You might not trust Roy Lichtenstein to frame a shed or Jasper Johns to re-weld a railing, but Kienholz was doing that stuff since childhood.

Other witnesses say that in the moments before the explosion they saw McVeigh, a Ryder truck and the beige Mercury in which McVeigh was later arrested all in front of the Alfred P. Murrah building...
...statements that Mahon has made "to people assisting the defense" in which Mahon linked himself to the bombing. What were those statements? Jones won't say, claiming that as potential trial evidence they must remain confidential. Jones also says either Mahon or his brother Daniel owns a brown pickup truck that resembles the one witnesses say fled the Murrah building minutes before the bombing...
