A long-secret video recording from the Oklahoma City bombing case reveals a slice of history — a trooper’s search of bomber Timothy McVeigh’s getaway car.
McVeigh is never shown on the 28-minute recording obtained by The Oklahoman.
Still, the recording from the trooper’s dashboard camera provides a unique and somewhat eerie perspective: what McVeigh saw in the first minutes after his capture along Interstate 35 in northern rural Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Charlie Hanger turned on the camera after arresting McVeigh on the morning of the attack. He said at McVeigh’s trial that he had intended to record his interview of McVeigh, but pushed the wrong two buttons.
McVeigh was handcuffed in the front passenger seat.
Hanger, now sheriff of Noble County, said in a speech in August, "I just happened to be at the right spot at the right time, and things fell in place.
