In the audio interview in the links below, Tonia Yeakey tells the story of Terrance Yeakey, an American hero. He was the first OKC Police Department officer inside the Murrah Building after the bombing on April 19,1995. Terrance Yeakey went straight into the building and started rescuing survivors. A year later, on May 8,1996, Terry's body was found in a field one and a half miles from his car. His car was filled with blood. Terry was found with his jugular vein cut in two places, both wrists cut, and both arms cut at the elbow and rope burns on his limbs and a bullet in the head.
Tonia states that a member of law enforcement confirmed the body was drug from one place to another. The FBI immediately took over the investigation and ruled it a suicide without an autopsy, eventhough according to the funeral director the cuts were too deep and severe for the use of embalming fluid.
This is a story you need to hear and not from a journalist but in Tonia's own words, because she too is an American hero for courageously sharing her story with you.

Gotta run for a while. I'll check out the audio links on return.
So, you lurked here three years? You must not have read much. Jim Robinson is very much aware of the Terrance Yeakey case.

THE DEATH OF OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE OFFICER TERRANCE YEAKEY
Family on quest for answers meets harassment, intimidation and surveillance
By David Hoffman
OKLAHOMA CITY -- On May 8, 1996, only three days before Sergeant Terrance Yeakey was to receive the Oklahoma Police Department's Medal of Valor, he "committed suicide." The 30 year-old cop was found in a field near El Reno, not far from where prison guard Joey Gladden "committed suicide." His wrists were slashed in numerous places, as was his neck and throat. Apparently not satisfied with this initial attempt to take his life, he got out of his car, walked a mile and-a-half over rough terrain, then pulled out his gun shot himself in the head.
I'm in awe of your ability to read the original post, listen to 44 minutes of audio, listen to an additional 16 minutes of audio, determine that this is tinfoil, then reply, all in the span of 6 minutes.
Man, you're good. </sarcasm>
Go back to lurking, or polishing your "I decide what is tinfoil" clique medal.
>I'm not good, I'm great.<
If you keep it up, you are going to become the "Late Great".
Smart alecs don't seem to last long around here. But then you know that, don't you? After all, you've been lurking for three years.

TERRRANCE YEAKEY - POLICE OFFICER
The following are excerpts from an Oklahoma City policeman's letter to a bombing victim whom he had befriended. Officer Terrance Yeakey was one of the first rescuers at the scene of the bombing. As the letter indicates, he saw many disturbing things and much evidence that is contradictory to the OFFICIAL VERSION of the story.
The letter begins,"The man that you and I were talking about in the pictures, I have made the mistake of asking too many questions as to his role in the bombing, and was told to back off. I was told by several officers he was an ATF agent who was overseeing the bombing plot and at the time the photos were taken he was calling in his report of what had just went down! Luke Franey (ATF agent who said he was in the building at the time of the explosion) was not in the building at the time of the blast. I know this for a fact. I saw him! I also saw full riot gear worn, with rifles in hand, why? "Knowing what I know now, and understanding fully just what went down that morning, makes me ashamed to wear a badge from Oklahoma City's Police Department. I took an oath to uphold the Law and to enforce the Law to the best of my ability. This is something I cannot honestly do if I keep my silence as I am ordered to do.
"My guess is, the more time an officer has to think about the screw up, the more he is going to question what happened. Can you imagine what would be coming down now if that had been our officers who had let this happen? Because it was the feds that did this and not the locals, is the reason it's okay. If I tried to explain it to you the way it was explained to me, and the ridiculous reason for having our own police departments falsify their reports to their fellow officers, to the citizens of the city and to our country, you would understand why I feel the way I do about all this. "I truly believe there are other officers like me out there who would not settle for anything but the truth; it is just a matter of finding them. The only true problem as I see it is, who do we turn to then? I believe that a lot of the problems the officers are having right now are because some of them know what happened and can't deal with it, and others like myself made the mistake of trusting the one person we were supposed to be able to turn to (the chaplain) only to be stabbed in the back. "I would consider it to be an insult to my profession as a police officer and to the citizens of Oklahoma for ANY of the City, State or Federal agents that stood by and let this happen, to be recognized as anything other than their part in participation in letting this happen.
For those who ran from the scene to change their attire to hide the fact that they were there, should be judged as cowards. "You were right all along and I am truly sorry I doubted you and your motives about recording history. Everyone was behind you until you started asking questions as I did, as to how so many federal agents arrived at the scene at the same time. I worry about you and your young family because of some of the statements that have been made towards me, a police officer! I am not worried for myself, but for you and your group. I would not be afraid to say at this time that you and your family could be harmed if you get any closer to the truth. At this time I think for your well-being it is best for you to distance yourself and others from those of us who have stirred up too many questions about the altering and falsifying of the federal investigation's reports.
"It is vital that people like you, Edye Smith and others keep asking questions and demanding answers for the actions of our federal government and law enforcement agencies that knew beforehand and participated in the cover-up. Don't make the mistake as I did and ask the wrong people. "If our history books and records are ever truly corrected about that day, it will show this and maybe even some lame excuse as to why it happened, but I truly don't believe it will from what I now know to be the truth. I am sad to say that I believe my days as a police officer are numbered because of all of this
Q. After you made the call on the radio, did you continue to walk around the office, what was left of the ATF office?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. What did you do next?
A. I found an evidence poster board, something similar to that, that we had used at a previous trial. And I flipped it over on the back and wrote "ATF trapped, 9th floor," put it in the window, over here in this office looking out over the front side of the building, which is the south side of the building.
LOL!
Good to know . .
You have an odd sense of humor...
It was rumored that Chumley was about to go public with some damning information. According to Michele Moore, who has investigated the bombing, Chumley was asked to bandage two federal agents who falsely claimed to have been trapped in the building that morning. Since the pair was obviously not hurt, Chumley refused. When the agents petitioned another doctor at the scene, Chumley intervened, threatening to report them. When Chumley learned of the government's hastily planned cover- up, he apparently decided to go public. It seems he never got the chance. ________________________________________________________
Tonia Yeakey in the interview confirms that Dr. Chumley and Terry were definately connected. They were sharing pictures and information about the bombing and she also stated Terry was once a patient of Chumley's, contrary to the assertions of others that the two had never met.
Chumley died in the September before Yeakey died in the following May.
