Excerpts
1
After Dad’s murder, the FBI was the first agency to call me in for an interview. The FBI agent told me the killers were international drug traffickers, a Libyan death squad, or an electrical engineer laid off from Dad’s west-Texas magnesium plant. Everything the agent said was a red herring to mislead family survivors. I knew most of this was absurd and responded by giving the
agent the names of those I strongly believed were behind the murder, one being a retired FBI agent working at Dad’s newest acquisition. The agent promised to investigate but instead told police I was their informant (so they wouldn’t talk to me) and assured them I was very difficult to deal with. This way he kept everything I’d said from police, burying the truth behind his lies.

Finally, as a warning, I told Mackechney that FBI agents were frequent guests of WJA, receiving free food and drink without signing the official guest register. I closed by asking if the FBI would have any qualms about arresting an ex-FBI agent.
“We’re professionals,” Mackechney assured me. “If Rico did this, we want to be the ones to catch him."

"Flying from Miami back to Tulsa after being notified of Dad’s murder:
At one point midflight, my wife reached over and tried to comfort me. I whispered, “I know who killed Dad.”
She just stared at me until my young son broke my somber mood with his cheerful smile and playfulness. He gave me hope. In the years to come, I sometimes dialed back my efforts to solve Dad’s murder to avoid leaving him fatherless."

"With cold professionalism, the man fired a single shot point-blank between Dad’s eyes. The revolver’s cylinder unexpectedly popped open, and the remaining bullets fell out, but the one he fired still found its mark. Children at the pool turned at the sound of the shot. Their laughter became screams when a little girl on the diving board heard the shot and saw Dad slump in his seat. There was no time for the killer to retrieve the unspent bullets. The driver picked him up, and they calmly drove off."
The questions
Why were 4 live bullets found on the ground at the scene? Was it a message?
Why did a senior FBI agent make critical evidence of massive bribery disappear?
When was the first time the hitman saw Det. Huff & what was the hitman's first thought?
How did David unintentionally trap an FBI agent into writing a report that the FBI would never want the police and the public to know about?
Why did the DOJ try to control the prosecution of the Wheeler murder in Tulsa, Oklahoma?
Why did the President of the United States try and block the congressional investigation into this and related murders?
