McVeigh went into Tom Manning's Firestone to have work done on his Pontiac. It was determined that the heads were blown, and Manning sold McVeigh the Mercury for $250. (See Manning interview). Tim took his car to the Firestone to be worked on. The head gasket was blown and it was going to cost $500 to fix it. Tim bought the Mercury from Tom Manning at the Firestone shop for his car plus $250. Tim screwed on the Arizona license plate, "nice and solid, two screws right on top". Tom remembered Tim from three years prior. (and Hankins memo dated 5.10.95)

McVeigh checked into Room 25 of the Dreamland Motel in Junction city, 26 miles north of Herington. That night, Shane Boyd, age 23, a helicopter mechanic who was also staying at the Dreamland said he saw a bushy-haired man who resembled the sketches of John Doe #2, in the parking lot near Mr. McVeigh's room.
