CNN posts article on Terry Yeakey, the hero Oklahoma City cop that was found dead a year later

Why did this cop turn up dead?

This story is about one of those people. His name was Terry Yeakey. He was an Oklahoma City police officer and a military veteran. Yeakey saved at least three people from the ruins of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, the day a terrorist attack killed 168 people and injured hundreds of others.

Something happened to Yeakey in those hours in the wreckage. He was badly shaken, and his worldview seemed to change. In time, he grew suspicious and afraid. He ran afoul of his supervisors. He went on secret missions, withholding his motives and plans from fellow officers. He seemed to be conducting his own investigation.

And then, 385 days after the bombing, his body was found near some trees in a field off a country road.

I'm not a conspiracy-type guy at all but his story has always fascinated me. I've never believed that it was suicide.

1. An interesting and disturbing article

Yesterday, I read this well-written article, and I became saddened about the events surrounding the death of Officer Yeakey.

6. Same here

I read it on the bus, and it made the rest of the ride quite somber.

2. Well, that was certainly thought-provoking. Not CT-inducing, IMO, but laying out the aspects of his

death that truly deserve addressing. I'll say no more except that time was an ugly period not unlike today with RW extremists infiltrating both Federal and local LEO. And Gingrich's minions loved nothing more than to stir hate against Federal employees. In that climate, a lot of what went on may have been buried.

RIP, Officer Yeakey

3. I read this last night and honestly this is the best thing to come out of CNN in a while.

I hope they keep digging, although it seems that a lot of evidence has been lost over the years.
They posted the picture of the fireman holding the baby which took me right back.
I do wonder what Officer Yeakey saw.
The memorial looks quite beautiful.
