He parked, hopped out of the truck, and walked away. Shortly after 9:00 a.m., the bomb obliterated one-third of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people, including 19 infants and toddlers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving together key elements of personal correspondence with co-defendant Terry Nichols, hundreds of hours of interviews, and thousands of government documents, \u003cem\u003eOklahoma City: What the Investigation Missed--and Why It Still Matters\u003c\/em\u003e by investigative reporter Andrew Gumbel and retired U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel Roger G.
