By the time it was over, the Bureau had conducted more than 28,000 interviews, followed some 43,000 investigative leads, amassed three-and-a-half tons of evidence, and reviewed nearly a billion pieces of information.
“As we recognize this solemn 30th anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, we remember the victims, their families, and the survivors of this horrific event,” said Douglas Goodwater, special agent in charge of FBI Oklahoma City. “We also pay tribute to those who answered the call – firefighters, police, paramedics, and the people of Oklahoma. The response and support from the public following the bombing resulted in a statewide initiative called the Oklahoma Standard, promoting values of service, honor, and kindness.
“The historic investigation that followed strengthened partnerships among law enforcement at all levels of government. I’m proud to say those partnerships, and the spirit of the Oklahoma Standard, endure to this day.”
