April 11, 1995: Oklahoma Bomber Checks in with Fellow Conspirator

1995-04-11

Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh (see September 13, 1994, October 20, 1994, and 7:00 a.m. - 9:02 a.m. April 19, 1995) makes two phone calls to his co-conspirator Terry Nichols. The calls are apparently mere “check-ins” to see if Nichols is still supportive of his plans to bomb the Murrah Building, and McVeigh asks Nichols if everything is “code green,” his term for the situation being normal.
