Michael Fortier quits his job at True Value Hardware in King-man, Ariz. Soon afterward he travels with Tim McVeigh to Oklahoma City. The pair cases all nine floors of the Murrah building the following week.

McVeigh and Fortier head to Kansas. They load a stash of guns into a rental car, which Fortier drives back to Kingman alone.

McVeigh returns to Kingman. McVeigh and For-tier allegedly sell the stock-piled guns to pay for expenses and bomb materials.

McVeigh arrives in Junction City, Kans., sells his car and calls Ryder to reserve a truck, which he’ll pick up three days later.

Bomb explodes in Oklahoma.
