The FBI claims a thorough search of their archives revealed no evidence of tapes showing Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh had a accomplice
The FBI has dismissed claims they are withholding security camera footage that proves a second man was involved in the Oklahoma City bombing, insisting agents searched their archives thoroughly and found no evidence of any such material.
Salt Lake City lawyer Jesse Trentadue has launched a freedom of information lawsuit against the FBI and the CIA, demanding they release the alleged videos which supposedly show a man alongside Timothy McVeigh when he parked a truck outside the Oklahoma City federal building and detonated a bomb that killed 168 people.
But yesterday, on the first day of the trial, Linda Vernon, a longtime FBI employee who became the point person for the collection of evidence after the bombing, said she is 'completely confident' the agency has found every video of the bombing that exists.
FBI attorney Kathryn Wyer argued additional searches for videos would be burdensome and fruitless, and would take a single staff person more than 18 months to conduct.
She said: 'The plaintiff has refused to accept that the 30 tapes he got are the only tapes'.
Mr Trentadue believes the presence of a second suspect in the truck explains why his brother, Kenneth Trentadue, was flown to Oklahoma several months after the bombing, where he died in a federal holding cell in what was labeled a suicide.
